What the Review Covered
Scope
Dr Crow reviewed 515 food entries, delivered as four review spreadsheets on 4 April 2026. For each one he checked the safety rating, summary, symptoms, main details and any age or breed notes.
Where the label appears
A food page shows "Safety rating and summary vet reviewed by Dr Alex Crow BVetMed MRCVS" only if it is one of the entries he reviewed, he approved it without requesting changes, and its safety rating and reviewed text still match what he reviewed. If that content is later edited, the label is removed until he reviews it again.
Corrections
Where he changed a safety rating or flagged an error, the page does not carry his name until the correction has been made and he has confirmed it.
Not covered
Our guides, food pages without the label, and sections added to food pages after his review (feeding amounts and portions, toxic-dose figures, toxicity level, emergency steps and preparation advice) have not been reviewed by a veterinarian. They are written by the SafeFoodForDogs editorial team from published veterinary sources.
