FAQ

Frequently asked

  • Can you answer a medical question about my dog?

    No. dogage.co is a reference and tool site, not a veterinary service. Any decision about your dog's health belongs with a licensed veterinarian — yours, or a second-opinion vet if you want another read. If you're looking for general education about a condition, our breed-specific health pages and guides may be a starting point for the conversation you have with your vet.

  • I found a factual error or outdated citation. How do I report it?

    Email editorial@dogage.co with the page URL, the specific claim that looks wrong, and — if you have it — a link to the more current research. We aim to respond to substantive corrections within five business days. Editorial corrections get prioritised over feature requests.

  • Are the breed lifespan numbers on this site current?

    The breed medians come from the Royal Veterinary College VetCompass programme (McMillan et al. 2024), which is the most recent large-cohort UK life-table publication. If a newer, larger study supersedes it, we update. Breeds outside the VetCompass cohort fall back to AKC breed-standard ranges and are flagged as such inline.

  • Can I republish or syndicate content from dogage.co?

    Short excerpts with attribution and a link back are fine. Full-page republication requires written permission via the editorial email. For press quotes about the methodology or specific research findings, email the press contact below — we're usually happy to comment.

  • Do you accept guest posts, sponsored content, or link exchanges?

    No. All content on dogage.co is produced in-house against our sourcing standards. We do not accept paid placements, sponsored posts, guest submissions, or link exchanges — the citation chain only works if every article traces to primary research.
