ACCOUNTABILITY
If something is wrong, tell us exactly what needs another look.
Accuracy is a continuing responsibility
Articles can contain errors. Policies change. A veterinary guideline can be updated. A cost example can omit an important assumption. When that happens, the responsible response is to investigate and correct the record, not quietly defend the original wording.
EvePaw welcomes specific, good-faith correction requests from readers, professionals, providers and other interested people. We assess supporting evidence independently; a commercial relationship or a request to remove an unfavorable fact is not, by itself, grounds for a change.
How to submit a correction
Email contact@evepaw.com with Correction request in the subject, or use our Contact form. Please include the article URL, the precise sentence or table entry you believe is inaccurate, why it needs revision, and a primary source or other material that supports your concern. Do not send an animal’s private medical records unless we specifically request them through an appropriate process.
You can also report inaccessible tables, broken links, misleading image captions, incorrect attribution or an outdated policy feature.
What happens after a report
We review the article in context, examine the original sourcing, compare the new evidence and decide whether the material requires correction, clarification, an update or no change. Where needed, we may consult authoritative documents or an appropriately qualified professional. We do not promise an exact response deadline before a process has been staffed and verified.
Different kinds of change
Correction: a material statement, number, attribution or interpretation was wrong. We revise it and should make the change visible when it affects the substance of the article.
Clarification: wording was technically defensible but reasonably misleading or incomplete. We make the distinction explicit.
Update: new facts change what a reader should know, such as a provider removing an option or a guideline changing. An update date should represent a substantive factual review.
Minor edit: spelling, grammar, formatting or accessibility improvement. These do not necessarily need an article-level correction note or a refreshed substantive review date.
Transparency around changes
Material corrections should be identified in or near the affected article, with enough context to understand what changed. Removing an unsupported claim does not mean erasing the fact that it was previously published. Retractions may be appropriate if the central premise cannot be supported.
Health or insurance corrections
Potentially unsafe health information and material insurance-policy errors are high priority because an inaccurate statement can affect a reader’s care or financial decision. Still, a correction request is not an emergency medical service or a guarantee that coverage applies. If an animal is in distress, contact a veterinarian immediately.
