Share of 320 dog+cat safety rows carrying each field the checklist and food pages read. Authority citations stay sparse by design: only FDA/ASPCA-named dangers carry a source line; the rest are uncited editorial guidance.

PlainPetFood publishes an editorial food-safety compilation. When the FDA or ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center names a food as dangerous, that food's page links the source; other ratings are identified as editorial guidance. Tool KPIs and coverage bars are computed live from the foods and food_safety tables in this portal's database. No coverage percentage is typed by an editor. See our editorial standards & corrections policy, report a correction, the methodology behind these numbers, or contact the editorial team. Data current as of August 29, 2026.
