Frequently Asked Questions

Is PawAtlas free to use?

Yes, all breed information, search, comparison, and the breed finder are completely free, with no login required.

Is this medical or veterinary advice?

No. PawAtlas is educational only. For any health, diet, or medication decision, please consult a qualified veterinarian.

How do you choose which breeds to add?

We prioritize widely recognized breeds first and are steadily expanding coverage — new breeds are added on an ongoing basis.

Is the site available in my language?

The interface currently has full translations in English and Hindi, with more languages being added over time; other languages show English text where a translation isn't ready yet, rather than a poor machine translation.
