How these articles are researched.
GramBowl is built by Cognition Sync. Our question-led articles explain pet feeding concepts and help owners prepare useful questions for their veterinary team.
AI-assisted writing, with primary sources
The new Q&A library was researched and drafted with AI assistance. Source pages were consulted during topic research. Each article links the references used for its answer; guidance, food data and research are identified separately. Questions are editorial choices, not claims of measured search volume.
Source checking is not veterinary review
These articles have not been individually reviewed by a veterinary nutritionist. We do not attach a clinician's name or credentials to content without an actual review. An article should not be treated as a diet prescription, clinical assessment or guarantee that a food is suitable for an individual animal.
Different types of evidence answer different questions
Regulators explain labels and legal terms. Veterinary organisations publish professional guidance. Food databases describe measured composition. Research papers report findings within their study population and methods. A source's organisation is not an automatic clinical evidence grade, and a study of some recipes does not establish that all homemade food is unsuitable.
Scope and uncertainty are part of the answer
The calculator supports healthy adult dogs and cats. Growth, pregnancy, nursing, diagnosed conditions and weight-loss plans need veterinary guidance. Medical articles in this library explain why professional assessment matters; they do not offer therapeutic recipes or home emergency treatments.
Original guides remain available
The six earlier long-form guides remain at their original addresses. They retain their original publication and review statements. The new library links them alongside the Q&A articles.
Corrections and future review
Publication and source-check dates describe this edition. We aim to update articles when sources or the product change. A future clinician-reviewed edition will identify the actual reviewer and review date. You can raise an editorial concern through the Cognition Sync enquiry form; please do not send patient records through a marketing form.
