Editorial Policy

Accurate, honest,as material for judgment.

PET VOYAGE is a media brand that stands beside the weighty decision of traveling with precious family. That is precisely why we put our criteria — for what we write and what we do not — in writing, and publish them.

─ Principles

The five principles we keep

  1. 01

    Write regulation accurately

    Quarantine systems, required documents and detention periods change by country, timing and conditions. We write only the facts we can confirm, and state clearly where things remain uncertain.

  2. 02

    Avoid assertions, show the grounds

    We never assert "you will surely pass" or "we will act on your behalf". We attach the grounds and sources needed to judge, and leave the final decision to readers and experts.

  3. 03

    Be precise with numbers

    For figures such as costs, days and antibody titers, we make the source and the date of acquisition clear. We label estimates as estimates and present no assertive pricing.

  4. 04

    Respect quotation and sources

    We reference public institutions and primary sources first, and quote with attribution. We do not repost machine translation alone; AI translation passes through an editor's supervision.

  5. 05

    An article is material for judgment

    An article is neither a proxy for procedures nor a guarantee. We honestly edit and deliver enough material for readers to judge against their own situation.

─ Publishing Gate

Four gates before publishing

Every article passes four stages of judgment before publishing. If even one is unmet, we do not publish.

Step 01

Validity of content

Is it factual, is the source sound, is it current? Statements we cannot confirm are not published.

Step 02

Law and ethics

Does it comply with the Premiums and Representations Act and veterinary-advertising constraints? Is it free of exaggerated or assertive expressions (passing our pre-publication restricted-expression check)?

Step 03

Editorial quality

Does it follow the Tone of Voice? Are the title and lead serene and accurate? Do photography and text run side by side?

Step 04

Supervision

Articles touching regulation, veterinary science or international logistics are published only after supervision by experts (veterinarians, administrative scriveners).

─ Corrections

On corrections and updates

Regulations change. When errors or outdated information come to light after publishing, we correct them promptly and note the update date for significant changes. We see an article not as "finished and done" but as something we keep refining to remain accurate. If you notice anything, please let us know via our contact form.
