Pavlov uses artificial intelligence to provide pet care guidance. Before using these features, please read and understand this important disclaimer.
The AI health guidance provided by Pavlov is for general informational purposes only. It is NOT a substitute for professional veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a licensed veterinarian for any medical concerns about your pet. Never disregard professional veterinary advice or delay seeking it because of something you read in this app.
The AI assistant in Pavlov analyses the information you provide about your pet's symptoms, behaviour, and history to offer general guidance and suggest whether a vet visit may be helpful. It does not physically examine your pet, run diagnostic tests, review lab results, or provide a clinical medical diagnosis.
AI systems have inherent limitations. The guidance provided may be incomplete, imprecise, or not applicable to your specific pet's unique situation. The AI cannot account for every factor — including subtle physical signs, medical history nuances, and emerging conditions — that a trained veterinarian considers during an in-person examination.
Nothing in Pavlov's AI features should be interpreted as a medical diagnosis. The app does not diagnose diseases, identify specific conditions, or prescribe treatments. Any guidance offered is general in nature and must not replace a professional veterinary evaluation.
Do NOT use Pavlov in emergency situations. Seek immediate veterinary care if your pet experiences: difficulty breathing or choking, severe or uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness or collapse, suspected poisoning or toxin ingestion, severe trauma or injury, inability to stand or walk, prolonged or repeated seizures, or any other life-threatening symptom. Time is critical — call an emergency veterinary clinic immediately.
While we strive to keep AI guidance aligned with current veterinary best practices, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or currency of any AI-generated response. Veterinary science evolves continuously, and AI guidance may not always reflect the most recent medical developments or species-specific considerations.
Pavlov and its developers, officers, and affiliates are not liable for any harm, injury, loss, or adverse health outcomes to your pet resulting from reliance on AI-generated guidance. Use of the AI health features is entirely at your own risk. By using these features, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this disclaimer.
As a pet owner, you are ultimately responsible for your pet's health and wellbeing. Pavlov is a tool designed to assist and inform you — not to replace your own judgment or the expertise of qualified veterinary professionals. When in doubt, always consult a vet.
