About PetPlateCheck

A small, focused guide to one everyday question: can my pet eat this?

Pet owners ask this all the time, often while their dog or cat is already sniffing at a plate. We keep the answers short and in plain language: the verdict first, then how much is OK, how to serve it, and what to do if something goes wrong.

What you'll find here

• Food answers for dogs and cats: a clear verdict (safe, caution, avoid or toxic), serving size, preparation and risks.
• Lists: fruits, vegetables and human foods that are OK, and foods to keep away from your pet.
• Calculators: dog and cat age in human years.
• Emergency steps: what to do first if your pet ate something it shouldn't have.

What we are, and what we aren't

• We're an information site. Every answer summarises published guidance from organisations such as the ASPCA and the American Kennel Club.
• We're not a veterinary clinic. We don't diagnose, treat or give advice about individual pets.
• We don't sell pet food, supplements or medicine.

Who we are

Madhuri, a pet lover, owns and edits PetPlateCheck. We share general information with links to published references. We do not offer veterinary advice or claim veterinary credentials or approval.

PetPlateCheck is an independent website. It isn't owned by a pet food brand, a veterinary chain or a pet insurer, so no product decides what an answer says.

How we check our answers

Each answer is checked against its sources before it's published, and every page lists the sources it uses. Read how we write our answers.

Please talk to your vet

Every pet is different, especially pets with allergies or health conditions. For advice about your own pet, please check with your nearest vet.
