1. Veterinary Medical Disclaimer

Love Them Longer does not provide veterinary medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

All health information on Love Them Longer — including cost ranges, breed risk profiles, medication references, and nutrition data — is for informational and educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional veterinary care.

Always seek the advice of a licensed veterinarian with any questions you have about your pet's health. Never disregard professional veterinary advice or delay seeking it because of something you read on Love Them Longer.

If your pet is experiencing a medical emergency, contact your veterinarian or local emergency animal hospital immediately.

2. Cost Estimate Disclaimer

Cost ranges shown on Love Them Longer are based on national and regional averages compiled from publicly available veterinary pricing data. They are intended to give you a general sense of what pet owners typically pay.

Actual costs vary significantly based on:

  • Your geographic location and local cost of living
  • Your specific veterinarian or animal hospital
  • The severity and complexity of your pet's condition
  • Complications that arise during treatment
  • The specific treatment approach your vet chooses

Cost ranges are NOT quotes, estimates, or guarantees. They are general reference ranges. Always discuss pricing directly with your veterinarian. Love Them Longer is not affiliated with any veterinary practice.

3. Insurance Comparison Disclaimer

Love Them Longer is not a licensed insurance broker, agent, or carrier. We do not sell insurance, bind coverage, or complete insurance transactions.

Insurance plan information displayed on Love Them Longer is for comparison purposes only. It is based on publicly available plan terms and marketing materials. Plan details, pricing, coverage limits, exclusions, and terms change frequently.

  • Always verify plan details, pricing, and coverage directly with the insurance carrier before purchasing.
  • Our coverage scoring is based on publicly available plan terms and may not reflect the specifics of your individual policy or your pet's eligibility.
  • Love Them Longer does not guarantee that any insurance plan will cover any specific condition or treatment.

4. Nutrition and Feeding Disclaimer

Feeding plans, rotation schedules, and nutritional calculations generated by Love Them Longer are based on general NRC (National Research Council) 2006 nutritional guidelines. They are informational tools, not a substitute for veterinary nutritional consultation.

  • Actual nutrient content varies by product, cut, source, supplier, and preparation method.
  • Always consult your veterinarian before making significant changes to your pet's diet.
  • This is especially important for pets with health conditions, chronic illness, or pets that are pregnant, nursing, or very young.

Raw feeding carries inherent food safety risks. Raw meat can contain bacteria harmful to both pets and humans. Always handle raw meat with proper hygiene — wash hands, sanitize surfaces, and store raw ingredients at safe temperatures. Love Them Longer is not responsible for foodborne illness resulting from raw feeding practices.

5. Breed Health Data Disclaimer

Breed health statistics on Love Them Longer are sourced from published veterinary research databases, including:

  • OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals)
  • VetCompass (Royal Veterinary College)
  • JAVMA (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association)
  • NRC (National Research Council)
  • USDA FoodData Central

These statistics reflect population averages and may not apply to your individual pet. A breed predisposition to a condition does not mean your pet will develop that condition. Individual health outcomes depend on many factors, including genetics, environment, diet, care, and chance.

Breed health data is meant to help you have informed conversations with your veterinarian, not to replace those conversations.

6. Affiliate Disclosure

Love Them Longer contains affiliate links to insurance carriers, pet food brands, and pet products. When you click these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or visit the merchant directly.

  • Affiliate relationships do not influence our comparison algorithms, rankings, or coverage scoring. Rankings are based on objective criteria such as coverage terms, pricing, and fit for your pet's health profile.
  • We only include brands and products we have vetted or that have strong standing in the pet owner community.
  • We participate in affiliate programs including Pawlicy, ShareASale, Impact.com, and Amazon Associates.

FTC Disclosure: Love Them Longer is compensated for referring traffic and business to affiliated companies. This compensation may affect which products or services we write about and where they appear on the site, but it does not affect the objectivity of our comparison tools or scoring algorithms.

7. Data Accuracy

We make reasonable efforts to keep all information on Love Them Longer accurate and up to date. However, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or currentness of any information on this platform.

  • Veterinary costs, insurance plans, product details, and nutritional data change over time.
  • Users should independently verify any information that is critical to decisions about their pet's health, insurance, or diet.
  • If you find information that appears inaccurate or outdated, please let us know so we can investigate and correct it.

Love Them Longer and its affiliates are not liable for any damages arising from:

  • Veterinary treatment decisions made based on information from this platform
  • Insurance purchasing decisions influenced by our comparison tools
  • Dietary changes made to your pet based on our nutrition planning tools
  • Financial losses from purchases made through affiliate product links

Use this platform at your own risk and always in conjunction with professional veterinary advice. Love Them Longer is designed to inform and organize — not to replace the judgment of licensed professionals.
