Answers to the questions readers ask us most often.
Who writes The Geeky Gecko?
Our articles are produced by The Geeky Gecko’s editorial team and published under an organizational byline. Our team uses AI-assisted tools in research and drafting, with editorial review before publication — the full process is on our Editorial Policy page.
Can I use your articles to diagnose my pet?
No — and please don’t. Our content is educational. It can help you ask better questions and spot things worth mentioning to a professional, but only a licensed veterinarian who can examine your animal can diagnose or treat it. See our Disclaimer.
Where does your information come from?
From veterinary organizations, universities, peer-reviewed research, conservation bodies, and established welfare organizations. Our Editorial Policy lists the source tiers we use and the ones we avoid.
I found an error. What should I do?
Tell us via the contact page — we mean it. Verified errors are corrected under the corrections policy described in our Editorial Policy.
How is the site funded?
Through display advertising and occasional affiliate links, neither of which influences our editorial conclusions. Details are in our Advertiser Disclosure.
Can you cover a topic I’m curious about?
Yes — reader suggestions are one of our favorite sources of article ideas. Send them through the contact page.
