We make reasonable efforts to keep content accurate and up to date, but dog health and veterinary guidance evolves, and we cannot guarantee that all information reflects the most current recommendations at the time you read it.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, SmartDogWellness and its operators, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including but not limited to loss of revenue, loss of data, or harm to your dog — arising from:

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.
