Editorial Policy & Disclosures
Last updated: November 7, 2026
Who publishes MyPupwise
MyPupwise is an independent editorial website about dogs, intended primarily for readers in the United States. We cover breed characteristics, choosing a dog, behavior, training, health, nutrition, and everyday care across different homes and lifestyles. It is operated by Philipe Guida, based in Carandaí, Brazil. Contact the publisher at contact@wuffkompass.de.
Our purpose
We help current and future dog owners understand dogs and make informed decisions about their care. Homes, schedules, budgets, activity, and the individual dog all matter; an apartment is one setting, not the focus of every guide. MyPupwise does not sell or breed animals or arrange sales or adoptions. Our methodology explains how the questionnaire and comparison tools support that planning.
Sources and factual claims
We use identified public sources such as breed registries, veterinary organizations, animal-welfare organizations, and manufacturers. Registry measurements and trait ratings are attributed to their source. Our planning categories are editorial interpretations, not validated medical or behavioral scores. Referencing organizations such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) or the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) does not imply affiliation, partnership, endorsement, or review of MyPupwise.
Breed descriptions cannot predict an individual dog’s temperament, health, exercise requirements, or tolerance of being alone. Missing information should remain identified as unknown rather than being filled with an invented estimate.
Authorship and Editorial Standards
We select topics that answer practical questions about dogs and aim to publish original, accessible information. We check factual claims against relevant sources and distinguish documented facts from editorial interpretation or general guidance. When evidence is limited or conflicting, we explain the uncertainty.
The publisher is responsible for editorial standards, corrections, and publication decisions. We assess reported errors and update content when reliable new information warrants a change. We describe specialist input, professional review, credentials, hands-on testing, or endorsements only when they have actually occurred and can be documented.
Health and veterinary information
Health and nutrition content is educational. It does not diagnose an individual dog, prescribe treatment, or replace a veterinarian’s assessment. For health concerns, contact a veterinarian; urgent concerns require prompt veterinary care. Training and behavior guides likewise do not replace an individual assessment by a qualified professional.
Product guides and research-based comparisons
Our product guidance is based on documentary research, not physical product testing. MyPupwise publishes commercial comparisons of specific products sold in the United States. We identify the products and criteria, consult verifiable manufacturer specifications, technical documentation, and other appropriate sources, and record when information was checked.
Relevant criteria may include materials, dimensions, features, care requirements, and compatibility with different dogs and households. We distinguish manufacturer claims from our editorial analysis, explain documented advantages and limitations, and identify information we cannot verify. We do not invent test results, customer opinions, ratings, or veterinary recommendations.
Specifications, recalls, prices, and availability can change. Before buying, confirm current details, safety instructions, sizing, and compatibility with the manufacturer or seller. A recommendation is not a guarantee of suitability for every dog. Some articles include clearly disclosed affiliate links; potential commissions must not determine product selection, placement, or editorial conclusions. MyPupwise does not sell products directly.
Advertising and editorial independence
MyPupwise is enrolled in the U.S. Amazon Associates program; final approval remains subject to Amazon’s review. We may earn commissions from qualifying purchases through clearly disclosed affiliate links. Amazon does not endorse, sponsor, or approve our editorial content. MyPupwise may also use display advertising, including Google AdSense if enabled, or disclosed sponsorships. These possible revenue sources do not establish that an advertising service or sponsorship is active. Editorial recommendations remain independent and based on verifiable research; commissions must not determine our conclusions.
Paid placements and sponsored content should be clearly identified. Affiliate relationships should be disclosed near the relevant recommendation or link. Commercial compensation must not be presented as independent testing or used to justify unsupported claims. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
Corrections and updates
To report an error, send the page URL, the statement in question, and a supporting source to contact@wuffkompass.de. We assess corrections against the available evidence and update affected content. Publication, modification, and source-check dates describe different events; an updated date alone is not evidence of professional review.
Images and attribution
Image credits and applicable licenses belong with the relevant material. A photograph’s public availability does not itself grant permission to republish it. Images should be used only when permission or a license has been confirmed for the intended use, with the required attribution. An unresolved permission label is not a license. Visitors must follow the license attached to the original image; its appearance here does not grant additional rights. Rights holders may contact the publisher with the image URL and supporting ownership details.
