Terms of Use

By using Common Bowl, you agree to these terms. They're not complicated — we just need a few rules so the site stays useful and honest for everyone.

What Common Bowl is (and isn't)

Common Bowl provides pet care guides, product recommendations, and tools like the Ingredient Decoder and Food Finder. This content is for general informational purposes only. It is not veterinary advice. If your pet is sick, injured, or you're worried about their health, please contact a licensed veterinarian. Nothing on this site replaces that.

Using the site

You're welcome to read, share, and link to anything on Common Bowl. We ask that you don't:

• Reproduce substantial portions of our content without attribution or permission.
• Use the site in a way that could damage, disable, or overload it.
• Try to scrape or harvest data from the site at scale without asking first.
• Use our tools to generate content you'll pass off as your own without disclosure.

If you want to quote, republish, or license our content, just ask: hello@commonbowl.com.

Accuracy

We do our best to keep recommendations accurate and up to date. Pet food formulas change, products get discontinued, and research evolves. We can't guarantee that every piece of information on the site is current or complete at any given moment. Use your judgment, and when in doubt, check with your vet.

Affiliate links and product recommendations

Some links on this site earn us a commission if you buy through them. This doesn't affect our editorial recommendations. See our Affiliate Disclosure for the full picture.

Third-party sites

We link to external sites (retailers, research sources, manufacturers) that we don't control. We're not responsible for their content, their pricing, their availability, or their practices. Linking to something is not an endorsement of everything on that site.

Limitation of liability

Common Bowl is provided as-is. We're not liable for any harm — to your pet, your wallet, or otherwise — arising from decisions you make based on content here. You're the one who knows your animal. Trust yourself.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms. We'll update the date at the top when we do.
