Terms of Use

Last updated: March 2026

Short version: Use our site honestly, don't copy our content without permission, and remember that our tools give estimates — always verify with your vet.

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of raisedpaw.com (the "Site") operated by RaisedPaw. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing raisedpaw.com, you confirm that you are at least 13 years old and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. These terms may be updated at any time; continued use of the Site constitutes acceptance.

2. Medical and Veterinary Disclaimer

Important: Content on RaisedPaw is for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute veterinary advice and is not a substitute for professional veterinary care. Always consult a licensed veterinarian for diagnosis, treatment, and advice specific to your pet.

Our free tools (including the Nutrition Calculator and Vaccine Tracker) provide general estimates based on widely accepted formulas. Results are approximations and may not be appropriate for every individual animal. Factors including underlying health conditions, medications, breed-specific needs, and reproductive status can significantly alter nutritional requirements. Use our tools as a starting point — not a final prescription — and discuss results with your vet.

If the Site allows you to submit comments, reviews, or other content, you grant RaisedPaw a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, display, and distribute that content. You are responsible for ensuring your submissions are accurate, lawful, and do not infringe third-party rights. We reserve the right to remove any user content at our discretion.

8. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Site is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, RaisedPaw disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
