Paws Source ("we," "our," or "us") provides a comprehensive platform connecting pet owners with premium pet care services, including but not limited to:
- Premium pet nutrition and supply e-commerce.
- Virtual and in-person veterinary consultations through our network of certified professionals.
- Professional grooming, boarding, and daycare services.

- Maintain the confidentiality of your account credentials.
- Disclose all relevant health conditions, vaccinations, and behavioral traits of your pet when booking services.
- Supervise your pet appropriately during product use and ensure instructions are followed.
3 Health & Safety
The health and safety of pets is our top priority. Users must ensure their pets meet the following requirements for certain services:
- Vaccinations: Pets must be up-to-date on core vaccinations to participate in boarding or daycare services.
- Behavior: Pets with aggressive tendencies or severe anxiety must be flagged during booking. We reserve the right to decline service if a pet poses a risk to staff or other animals.

- Diagnoses and treatment recommendations are based on the information provided and may not reflect a complete clinical examination.
- You agree to share full medical history and relevant images/videos during consultations.
