About ApprovedByVets
ApprovedByVets is a pet nutrition resource built on one principle: pet owners deserve clear, accurate, vet-reviewed answers — not SEO filler. We build tools and guides that solve real problems, from feeding calculators backed by veterinary metabolic formulas to food safety lookups sourced from ASPCA and Merck Veterinary Manual data.
We are not a veterinary practice and do not provide diagnoses or medical advice. Our tools are educational resources designed to help you make more informed decisions about your pet's nutrition. Always consult your veterinarian for medical concerns.
🔬Our Methodology
Feeding Calculators
Our calculators use the standard veterinary Resting Energy Requirement (RER) formula: RER = 70 × (body weight in kg)0.75. This base value is then multiplied by activity, life-stage, and body-condition factors established in veterinary nutritional science. We reference guidelines from the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA), the National Research Council (NRC), and peer-reviewed veterinary nutrition textbooks.
Food Safety Database
Every food entry is classified as Safe, Caution, or Dangerous based on evidence from the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, the Merck Veterinary Manual, the AKC Canine Health Foundation, the Cornell Feline Health Center, FDA pet safety alerts, and peer-reviewed veterinary literature. Each entry includes serving guidance, known risks, and cited sources. Our veterinary reviewers validate every classification before publication.
Editorial Standards
All content on ApprovedByVets is reviewed by at least one licensed veterinarian before publication. We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable product reviews or safety classifications. Affiliate relationships are clearly disclosed and never influence our recommendations. We update content regularly as new research emerges and conduct full reviews at least annually.
