Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using PlainBreed (plainbreed.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use this website.
Not Veterinary Advice
PlainBreed provides data from FDA adverse event reports for informational and educational purposes only. This website does not provide veterinary medical advice. The information should not be used as a substitute for professional veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your veterinarian with any questions about your animal's health.
Data Accuracy
Data is sourced from the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine's public adverse event reporting system. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that the data is complete, current, or error-free. Adverse event reports are voluntarily submitted and do not establish causation.
Limitation of Liability
PlainBreed and its operators shall not be liable for any damages arising from your use of this website or reliance on the information provided. This includes but is not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, and consequential damages.
Copyright and Attribution
The underlying data is from U.S. government sources and is in the public domain. The website design, code, and presentation are protected by copyright. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our unique presentation without permission.
Third-Party Links
This site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of linked sites.
Modifications
We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance.

Data Accuracy and Verification
PlainBreed aggregates and reformats information that originates from public government agencies, regulatory filings, and other openly available sources. While we take reasonable steps to ingest, normalize, and refresh this data, upstream records may contain clerical errors, lag behind real-world changes, or omit relevant context. You are solely responsible for verifying any fact that influences a legal, medical, financial, educational, safety, or similarly consequential decision. Cross-reference the official source before acting on anything you read here.
Acceptable Use
You may browse, read, and share PlainBreed content for personal, journalistic, academic, and non-commercial research use. You may cite specific records with attribution and a link back to the page on plainbreed.com. You may not (a) systematically scrape, crawl, or download the dataset in bulk without prior written permission; (b) resell, sublicense, or redistribute derived data products that compete with PlainBreed; (c) use our pages to harass, defame, or misrepresent any individual or organization appearing in the data; (d) remove, obscure, or mislabel source attribution; or (e) attempt to bypass rate limits, security controls, or authentication mechanisms.
Plain-Language Editorial Role
PlainBreed combines raw public data with plain-language summaries, explainers, and comparisons. Narrative sections are drafted by our editorial team from official source data and reviewed for accuracy before publication. We do not modify the underlying numbers or filings, those are loaded directly from the upstream source. If you spot a summary that misreads the data, please email the correction link on our contact page.
Editorial and Site Copyright
The underlying public records surfaced on PlainBreed are in the public domain or otherwise freely licensed by the issuing agency, you are free to use those raw facts. However, our site design, layout, navigation structure, original editorial copy, category taxonomies, comparison tables, and curated rankings are the copyrighted work of PlainBreed. These creative elements may not be reproduced in whole or substantial part without permission.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms of Use from time to time to reflect changes in our data sources, product features, legal environment, or advertising relationships. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, when appropriate, surface a brief notice on the homepage. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically.
Governing Law and Disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the jurisdiction in which PlainBreed is domiciled, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from or relating to your use of PlainBreed will first be addressed through good-faith informal negotiation. If that fails, both parties agree to resolve the dispute in the courts with jurisdiction over PlainBreed's principal place of business. Nothing in these terms limits your statutory consumer-protection rights under applicable local law.
Legal Notices
For formal legal notices, DMCA takedown requests, subpoenas, law-enforcement requests, or correspondence regarding these terms, email legal@plainbreed.com. General questions, data corrections, and feedback should use the contact page so they reach the editorial team promptly.
