Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026-05-13

By using Goodboy Atlas ("the site"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

What Goodboy Atlas is

Goodboy Atlas is a free educational website of pet calculators and reference guides. The content is informational only and is not veterinary advice, not a substitute for veterinary care, and not a substitute for the professional judgement of a licensed veterinarian.

Not a medical service

All calculators, articles, and guides on this site are general references. Every pet is different. If your pet shows symptoms of illness, distress, or sudden behavioural change, consult a veterinarian immediately — do not rely on this site for diagnosis or treatment. Calls to a veterinary professional are always the correct action when in doubt.

Accuracy

We make every effort to present accurate, source-cited information. Veterinary consensus changes; calculator math is best-effort given current sources. We do not warrant that the site is error-free or that any calculator result is correct for your specific pet. If you spot an error, please let us know.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Use of the calculators and reading of the articles is unrestricted. Embedding our calculators on your own site requires a content syndication arrangement — please contact us.

Intellectual property

Site content (text, design, code, illustrations) is © Goodboy Atlas and the original authors. You may quote brief excerpts with attribution. You may not republish entire pages or calculators without written permission.

Source citations on this site reference third-party publications (journals, veterinary associations, government data). Those works remain the property of their respective rights holders. Where the site references trademarks (e.g., breed names, brand names in passing references), those marks remain the property of their respective owners.

Advertising and affiliate links

This site is supported by display advertising via Google AdSense, plus the occasional affiliate link to products we genuinely recommend. Affiliate links are disclosed inline. See the Privacy Policy for cookie and advertising details, and the about page for the editorial-independence promise.

Third-party services

The site uses third-party services (analytics, ad networks, newsletter providers, hosting). Their use of your data is governed by their own privacy policies. We use only services with reputable privacy practices.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Goodboy Atlas, its owner, and its contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the site. This includes (but is not limited to) outcomes related to the health or wellbeing of any animal where our content was consulted in the decision.

The site is provided "as is" with no warranties, express or implied, including warranties of fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms occasionally. Material changes will appear at the "Last updated" date at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Governing law

Disputes related to use of this site are governed by applicable law in the jurisdiction where Goodboy Atlas is operated. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory consumer rights where they apply.
