We know there’s a lot of dog-care content online, some of it accurate, some of it not.
Here’s exactly how this site is put together, so you can decide for yourself how much weight to give our advice.
Is this site written or reviewed by a veterinarian?
No. We research content using veterinary sources, breed-standard organizations (AKC, WSAVA, AAFCO), and established canine nutrition guidelines.
But it is not written or medically reviewed by a licensed veterinarian.
For your dog’s specific health or nutrition needs, always check with your own vet.
See our full Medical Disclaimer.
Where does the information on this site come from?
Every guide combines two things:
- Firsthand experience raising a Golden Retriever (Daffy) day-to-day.
- Research from recognized sources.
Cited directly in each article’s “Editorial Standards & Sources” section at the bottom of the page.
We don’t publish numbers or advice we can’t trace back to a source.
Who actually writes the content?
Tommy Nelson, founder of this (allaboutgoldenretriever.com) site, writes and researches every guide.
You can read his full background on the Author Page.
Does this site sell anything or promote specific dog food brands?
No. This site doesn’t sell products, and we don’t accept payment to feature a brand as “best” or “recommended.”
If we mention a specific product, it’s based on genuine research or personal use, not sponsorship.
Some links on this site may be affiliate links, meaning we could earn a small commission if you make a purchase, at no extra cost to you.
This never affects which products we recommend.
See our Disclaimer for details.
How often is content updated?
Articles are reviewed and updated as new research, veterinary guidance, or breed-standard information becomes available.
Each article displays a “Last Updated” date so you know how current the information is.
What happens if something on this site turns out to be wrong?
We want to know. If you spot an error, an outdated recommendation, or something that doesn’t match current veterinary guidance.
Please tell us via the Contact Us page. We correct mistakes as soon as they’re verified.
Can I ask a question or suggest a topic?
Yes, reach out through the Contact Us page. Reader questions directly shape what we cover next.
Is this site affiliated with the AKC or any official breed club?
No. We are an independent, editorially run publication. We reference official breed standards and veterinary sources for accuracy.
But we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the AKC, The Kennel Club, or any breed club.
Do you breed or sell Golden Retriever puppies?
No. We do not breed or sell puppies. This site is purely an informational and educational resource.
