Editorial Policy | Green Dog Grooming

Editorial Responsibility

Yvette Ehler is responsible for content published on Green Dog Grooming. Professional grooming experience informs the site’s grooming content. Statements derived from manufacturer documentation, research, certifications, or other sources are distinguished from firsthand experience.

Scope of Expertise

Grooming content covers coat types, brushing, bathing, drying, deshedding, matting, nails, ears, and practical coat maintenance. Related articles may address cleaning products, vacuums, bedding, food, supplements, training, tracking, insurance, and other dog-owner subjects. Discussion outside professional grooming relies on appropriate documentation and does not represent the author as a veterinarian, nutritionist, insurance professional, or other licensed specialist.

Sources and Verification

Product specifications, ingredients, and environmental claims must be supported by manufacturer documentation, safety data sheets, certifications, or other appropriate evidence. Supported attributes may be described in ordinary language without repeated attribution, but underlying testing or certification is not presented as the author’s own work. Claims must not exceed the scope of the evidence. Medical and scientific statements rely on appropriate veterinary and scientific sources. Unsupported claims are narrowed or omitted.

Professional Limitations

Grooming observations may include visible changes to skin, coat, or ears and a recommendation to seek veterinary evaluation. The site does not provide diagnosis or treatment. Content does not constitute individualized veterinary, legal, financial, insurance, or tax advice.

Affiliate Relationships

Articles containing affiliate links disclose that relationship at the beginning of the article. Compensation does not determine recommendations. Firsthand use is identified where applicable; otherwise discussion is based on available evidence. CBD, therapeutic supplements, and prescription medication are not covered for the purpose of obtaining higher affiliate commissions. See Affiliate Information for the applicable disclosure.

Environmental Claims

Descriptions of business operations are limited to documented practices, including onboard water, collection of used bathwater, and stored power for salon equipment during appointments. The diesel van is not represented as zero-emission or carbon-neutral. Product claims must remain within the available evidence for the particular product. Certifications are named where relevant; broad marketing terms alone do not establish an environmental benefit.

Photographs and Reviews

Photographs depict actual grooming work, business equipment, or properly licensed images. Client dogs and homes are published only with permission. Reviews must come from actual clients; fabricated testimonials or results are not permitted.

Corrections and Updates

Errors are corrected when identified. Prices, service area, policies, products, and equipment information are updated when the underlying facts change. Readers may report errors through the contact page.

Use of AI Tools

AI tools may support research organization, drafting, editing, and production. Their use does not replace source verification or professional judgment. Published statements about grooming practice, business operations, prices, policies, firsthand product use, and professional observations must be supported by the applicable evidence.

Purpose of the Publication

Green Dog Grooming provides grooming and dog-care information, product and equipment guidance, and documented environmental comparisons. The site includes Grooming Guides, Grooming Community, My Dogs, The Greener Dog newsletter, and information about mobile grooming in North Phoenix. Affiliate compensation supports publishing but does not determine recommendations.
