Veterinary Advisory Board
BreedCalc's calculators and breed data are reviewed by licensed veterinarians and animal-nutrition specialists to keep our results accurate, safe, and evidence-based.
Pet health information should be trustworthy. That's why our methodology, breed metabolic data, and aging curves are reviewed by veterinary professionals before they go live. Our advisors bring expertise across small-animal medicine, clinical nutrition, theriogenology (reproduction), and feline practice.
Meet the Board
A companion-animal veterinarian with a special interest in weight management and breed-specific feeding. Reviews our calorie calculator formulas and life-stage factors.
Focuses on canine aging and senior wellness. Validates our size-banded age-to-human-years curves against current longevity research.
A cats-only practitioner who reviews our feline metabolic factors, indoor/outdoor adjustments, and breed weight ranges for accuracy.
Specializes in animal reproduction and breeding management. Oversees the gestation timelines and milestone dates in our breeding calculator.
Our Review Process
- Formula validation — every calculator formula is checked against published veterinary nutrition and longevity standards.
- Breed data audit — metabolic factors, weight ranges, and lifespans are cross-referenced with AKC, FCI, UKC, TICA, and CFA breed standards.
- Plain-language safety — results pages are reviewed to ensure they encourage, never replace, professional veterinary care.
- Periodic updates — as new research is published, formulas and references are revisited and updated.
