Our Commitment to Transparency
At PETSAFE, your pet's safety is our highest priority. We believe you deserve full transparency about how we gather, verify, and present the information you rely on. That's why our entire platform is built using AI trained to scan and analyze the most reliable information available across the web—systematically, accurately, and continuously.
How We Determine Food Safety Ratings
Our safety ratings are generated through a multi-step AI-driven process that ensures both accuracy and species-specific relevance.
AI-Powered Research
Our technology continuously scans the internet for trustworthy, science-backed data from veterinary publications, academic research, clinical guidelines, and educational resources. This allows us to build a comprehensive view of each food item and its safety profile for pets.
Systematic Verification
The AI cross-references findings across a wide range of high-authority sources to reduce error and bias. If conflicting information is detected, the system weighs the reliability, recency, and consistency of each source before assigning a safety classification.
Safety Classifications
Each food item is evaluated and categorized into one of the following:
- Safe – Considered generally safe for healthy pets when served appropriately.
- Moderation – Not toxic, but should be limited due to potential side effects or limited nutritional value.
- Toxic – Contains compounds known to be harmful or potentially fatal to pets.
Species-Specific Analysis
Dogs and cats have different physiologies, and our system accounts for this. Every food is assessed separately for each species to provide the most accurate and relevant guidance possible.
Ongoing AI Updates
The AI engine constantly re-scans and re-evaluates food safety data, ensuring our database reflects the latest research and insights. We also take into account user feedback to improve clarity, correct inaccuracies, and expand coverage.
When new studies or findings emerge, our system prioritizes those updates so that you always have access to the most current information available.
