A dated record of data refreshes, corrections, and methodology changes on PlainPetCare. We list only real, verifiable changes. See our corrections process if a figure looks wrong, or methodology for how the price model works.

Accountability

Public /corrections alias and identity CiteThis blocks

Added a /corrections redirect to the editorial corrections process, a public /changelog of corroborated changes, and Cite this page blocks on identity and legal pages so readers have a stable citation string and a clear path to report data issues.

Data enrichment

Breed pages: rich-only care-economics profile

Breed detail pages now include peer ranks for large breeds (weight_high at or above 80) and annual groom context so sibling length varies and diverse pairs clear the templating gate (commit d1be495).

Data truth

One-population disclosure and discriminating SOURCES stamp

Methodology now states the national-average baseline for the regional index honestly, and the SOURCES seed stamp fails closed when stale (commit ba14095).

Crawl freshness

Honest per-route sitemap lastmod

File-authored pages in sitemap-pages now stamp lastmod from git or data vintage per route instead of a single portal-wide fingerprint (commit 620534b).

Crawl hygiene

Unknown breed, metro, and service slugs return HTTP 404

Missing entity routes now return a real HTTP 404 Response instead of soft-404 HTML (commit 419bccf).
