We may update these Terms from time to time without notice. Your continued use of kibbleguide.com.au after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. Information Service Only

KibbleGuide provides an information and label comparison service. We are not veterinarians, animal nutritionists, food scientists, or pet food manufacturers. Nothing on kibbleguide.com.au constitutes:

• veterinary advice or diagnosis;
• a recommendation to feed or avoid any particular product;
• a safety assessment or nutritional adequacy evaluation; or
• a guarantee about the accuracy, completeness, or currency of any product information.

Always consult a qualified veterinarian for advice specific to your pet's health, dietary requirements, or medical conditions.

3. Data Sources & Accuracy

All ingredient and product information on kibbleguide.com.au is sourced from publicly available product labels, retailer listings, and official brand websites. While we take reasonable care to verify accuracy, we do not warrant that the information is complete, current, or error-free.

Product formulations, packaging, prices, and availability may change without notice. You should confirm product details with the manufacturer or retailer before making a purchasing decision. KibbleGuide assumes no responsibility or obligation to update any published information.

4. Affiliate Links & How We Make Money

kibbleguide.com.au plans to include affiliate links to third-party retailers once the site launches a monetisation partnership. No affiliate or retailer links are live on the site at this time.

When affiliate links go live, clicking a link and making a purchase may earn KibbleGuide a small commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you. Affiliate commissions will be available equally across all brands and retailers featured on kibbleguide.com.au. No brand pays to appear on the site or receive favourable placement. Commissions do not and will not affect our ingredient analysis, colour-coding, or editorial content in any way.

Products and retailers featured on kibbleguide.com.au are not endorsed, sponsored, or recommended by KibbleGuide. A product's appearance on kibbleguide.com.au does not indicate that it is appropriate for your pet.

When you follow a link to a third-party website, you do so at your own risk.
