What this site is — and isn't
Kyo's Kitchen publishes general educational information about foods and homemade dog treats. It is not a veterinary service, it does not diagnose or treat animals, and it does not replace advice from your own vet, who knows your dog's history.
Our four safety classifications
- SAFE — Generally considered dog-friendly when served appropriately.
- LIMIT — Can generally be eaten but portion size or preparation matters.
- AVOID — Not recommended for dogs.
- TOXIC — Potentially dangerous and should not be intentionally fed to dogs.
Labels are always shown as text alongside any colour or icon, so the status is readable for people who can't distinguish the colours.
Sourcing
We work from widely published, mainstream pet-health references and list the sources used on each food page. Where sources disagree or evidence is limited, we say so and default to the more cautious guidance.
Feeding amounts
We give conservative, general portion guidance and always state that appropriate amounts depend on a dog's size, diet, health and the specific food. We do not publish universal quantities as if they were prescriptions.
Updates and flagging
Every entry shows the date it was last updated. Entries that haven't completed our review pass display a visible editorial notice on the page rather than being presented as finished content.
What we never do
- Invent veterinary facts, studies or statistics.
- Publish fake reviews, ratings or testimonials.
- Claim this site replaces professional veterinary advice.
- Recommend feeding anything we classify as toxic.
