About Us

Woof & Bowl answers the everyday questions dog owners type into their phones — “Can my dog eat grapes?”, “How much should I feed my puppy?”, “Is my Frenchie too hot?” — with short, clear guides based on official veterinary and animal-welfare sources.

The site is run by Martín Golia, an independent publisher — not a veterinary clinic. Read who’s behind Woof & Bowl.

Editorial policy

How the guides are written

  • Answer first. The direct answer is in the first lines of every guide. Details come after, for people who want them.
  • Built from official sources, with AI help. Guides are drafted with the help of AI writing tools from what veterinary and animal-welfare organizations publish, and the sources are linked on each page. Martín Golia chooses the topics, publishes the guides and fixes any reported error. No veterinarian reviews the guides.
  • No invented experts. We don’t use fake vets, fake bylines or “we tested” claims. If a qualified professional ever reviews a guide, they will be named on it.
  • General information, not diagnosis. We never tell you how to treat a sick dog at home. When something needs a professional, we say so plainly.
  • Plain English, real numbers. Pounds and kilograms, °F and °C, and specifics instead of vague advice.

Sources we use

Health, food-safety and care guides link to 2–4 sources at the bottom of the page. We rely on:

  • Poison control: ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center and Pet Poison Helpline
  • Veterinary references: the Merck Veterinary Manual, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and university veterinary schools (Tufts Cummings School’s Petfoodology, Cornell’s Riney Canine Health Center)
  • Breed and care information: the American Kennel Club (AKC) and RSPCA Australia
  • Pet food rules: the U.S. FDA, AAFCO and the WSAVA Global Nutrition Guidelines

Dates and updates

Every guide shows the date it was published and the date it was last reviewed. When guidance from these organizations changes, the guide is updated and the review date changes.

Corrections

Found a mistake or something out of date? Email [email protected] with the subject “Correction” and the page link. Every report is checked against the sources; confirmed errors are fixed, usually within 2 business days, and the review date is updated.

How the site makes money

Woof & Bowl is free to read and is paid for by display ads. Some pages may later include affiliate links; they will always be marked. Money never changes the safety advice. Details in our Affiliate Disclosure.
