Shiba World content is created to be accurate, practical and trustworthy. This page explains how we work.
Sources
We research from primary, authoritative sources: the AKC and NIPPO (Nihon Ken Hozonkai) breed standards, the OFA/CHIC health databases, and peer-reviewed veterinary literature.
Writing & review
Articles are written and edited by the Shiba World editorial team and fact-checked against the sources above. Health-related (YMYL) articles carry a visible disclaimer and are intended for general information — not as a substitute for advice from your own veterinarian. We are expanding our panel of credentialed veterinary reviewers; reviewed articles display the reviewer's name and credentials.
Updates & corrections
Every article shows a "last updated" date and is revised as guidance changes. To report an inaccuracy, email [email protected] and we will review it promptly.
AI & translation
We use AI tools to help draft and translate content into 30 languages, always under human editorial standards and source-checking. Translations preserve the meaning of the source guidance.
