Status: the editorial and review team is still being built. The reviewers above are placeholders: no registered veterinary surgeon or lawyer has been appointed yet. Until a registered veterinary surgeon has checked a page, that page counts as information based on the sources listed — not as a verified veterinary verdict.

How we assess: for each topic we weigh the whole body of evidence in the target species and give a visible verdict on the evidence — read our method.
Corrections: we correct mistakes visibly. Pages are revised periodically in light of new evidence and changes in Dutch legislation. Authors and reviewers declare conflicts of interest; sources with an interest of their own are flagged in the reference list.
