EDITORIAL STANDARDS & PROCESS: COMMITMENT TO INTEGRITY AND ACCURACY

At Doggozila Magazine, we recognize that the well-being of your dog depends on the quality and reliability of the information you receive. Trust is the cornerstone of our relationship with our readers! This page outlines the rigorous editorial standards and processes we employ to ensure that every piece of content we publish is accurate, ethical, and serves the best interests of dogs and their owners.

The Core Principles of Editorial Standards

All of the content is built upon seven non-negotiable pillars:

• Scientific Accuracy: We are committed to evidence-based information. Our health, nutrition, and behavior advice is grounded in current veterinary science, peer-reviewed research, and the consensus of established experts in the field.

• Ethical Responsibility: We advocate for the humane, force-free, and positive treatment of all dogs. We do not promote aversive training methods, outdated practices, or any content that could compromise animal welfare.

• Editorial Independence: Our content is created solely for the benefit of our readers. Our editorial team maintains full control over the topics we cover and the advice we give. Sponsored content or advertisements will always be clearly labeled and are kept separate from our editorial process.

• Accuracy First: We prioritize factual correctness above all else. Our content is based on current veterinary science, established animal behavior research, and best practices from leading professional organizations.

• Expert-Driven: Our content is created or reviewed by qualified professionals in the field. We clearly disclose the credentials of our writers and reviewers.

• Transparency: We clearly distinguish between professional advice and product recommendations. We disclose any affiliate relationships and maintain a strict separation between our advertising and editorial teams to avoid bias.

• For the Love of Dogs: Every piece of content is measured against one simple question: Does this help dogs and their owners live happier, healthier lives together?

Our Multi-Stage Editorial Standards Process

Every article, guide, and review published in Doggozila Magazine undergoes a meticulous multi-stage review to meet our high editorial standards.

1. Commissioning & Topic Selection

Our editorial team, led by the Editor-in-Chief, identifies topics based on reader needs, emerging trends in canine science, and gaps in existing public knowledge. Topics are vetted for relevance, importance, and potential impact.

• Topic Research: Our editorial team identifies topics based on reader needs. Writers then conduct in-depth research using reputable sources like veterinary journals, academic studies, and professional association guidelines.

• Drafting by a Subject Matter Expert: Articles are drafted by writers with direct experience in the topic, whether     they are a veterinarian, a certified trainer, or a specialist.

2. Research & Writing

• Expert Authorship: Articles are assigned to writers with demonstrated expertise in the subject matter, be it a certified trainer, a veterinary professional, or a seasoned journalist with deep subject knowledge.

• Rigorous Sourcing: Writers are required to cite primary sources, such as veterinary journals, academic studies, and interviews with accredited experts (DVMs, PhDs, certified behaviorists).

3. Editorial Review

• Fact-Checking: A dedicated fact-checker verifies every statistical claim, scientific statement, and piece of technical advice against original sources.

• Veterinary Review: All health and medical content is mandatorily reviewed and approved by at least one member of our independent Veterinary Advisory Board to ensure medical accuracy and safety.

• Copy Editing: Our copy editors refine the text for clarity, readability, grammar, and adherence to the Doggozila Magazine style guide.

4. Final Approval & Publication


Only after successfully passing all previous stages does content receive final approval from the Editor-in-Chief for publication.

Sourcing, Transparency and Corrections

• Our Sources: We rely on primary sources such as peer-reviewed journals (e.g., Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association), and guidelines from esteemed organizations like the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT).

• Expert Credentials: The credentials of our writers and reviewers are clearly disclosed. We prioritize contributions from professionals with verifiable certifications (e.g., DVM, CPDT-KA, DACVB).

• Product Reviews: Our product reviews are based on hands-on testing, ingredient analysis, and expert evaluation. We maintain a clear separation between advertising and editorial, payment or free products do not influence our ratings or conclusions.

• Corrections Policy: We are committed to transparency and accountability. If we make an error, we will correct it promptly and clearly. Readers are encouraged to bring potential inaccuracies to our attention at editorial@doggozila.com.
