Emergency Triage Methodology

Emergency pages use three owner-safe action tiers: go now, call today, and monitor with vet guidance. Urgent signs always prioritize contacting or traveling to a veterinarian.

Publication rule

Drafts may be created by a content agent, but medical wording, urgency claims, reviewer names, clinic data, and product positioning require human or veterinarian approval before publication.

Core standards

  • No diagnosis or treatment claims.
  • Veterinary assessment first.
  • Visible citations for medical claims.
  • Structured data must match visible content.
  • Reviewer proof is visible on the veterinary reviewers page.

Vet-review checklist

  • Does the first answer tell owners to call or go to a vet for urgent signs?
  • Are all medical claims supported by visible veterinary citations?
  • Are urgency tiers clear: Go now, Call today, Monitor with vet guidance?
  • Does the page avoid diagnosis, treatment, dosing, and product-as-emergency-care claims?
  • Does the page include what to tell the vet and what not to do where relevant?
  • Do FAQ schema and Article/WebPage schema match visible page content?
  • Do reviewer names, credentials, and review date match visible content and schema?
