Veterinary Disclaimer
Last updated: July 20, 2026
Pavio is an informational tool for organizing and tracking your pet's health data. It does not provide veterinary medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your veterinarian for your pet's health decisions and before changing diet, medication, or care.
Not Veterinary Advice
Pavio — this website, the Cat Health Hub journal, and the upcoming Pavio Pets iPhone app — is an informational and organizational tool. It helps you log, organize, and track your pet's health data over time (lab results, weight, hydration, appetite, fluids, and medications) so you can notice changes sooner and prepare for your vet visits. It does not tell you what to do about that data — that is your veterinarian's role.
Using Pavio does not create a veterinarian–client–patient relationship (VCPR) between you and ML BOOST (operating as Pavio), its team, or its AI systems. Only a licensed veterinarian who has examined your pet can establish a VCPR and provide veterinary medical advice.
Not a Diagnosis
Where Pavio displays lab values, reference ranges, trends, or IRIS staging guidelines alongside your pet's data, that information is educational context to help you understand and discuss the numbers with your veterinarian. It is not an interpretation of your pet's health, a disease detection, or a prediction of any condition.
Only a veterinarian can diagnose disease or stage chronic kidney disease. Reference ranges vary between laboratories and individual animals, and a value shown by Pavio as inside or outside a range may be assessed differently by your veterinarian in light of your pet's full history and examination.
Journal Content
Articles in the Pavio journal are educational content about cat health. They summarize and cite published veterinary research, but they are written for a general audience — not for your individual pet. Nothing in the journal is individualized advice, and it should never replace a conversation with your veterinarian about your pet's specific situation.
Emergencies
Never use Pavio in an emergency. If your cat shows acute symptoms — not eating, repeated vomiting, lethargy, straining to urinate or not urinating, difficulty breathing, or collapse — contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary clinic immediately. Do not wait to see how a trend develops in an app.
AI Limitations
- AI extraction can misread values, units, or reference ranges from lab reports. Always verify extracted numbers against the original report from your veterinarian or laboratory.
- AI-generated summaries and explanations can be incomplete, outdated, or simply wrong, even when they sound confident.
- Trends depend on the data you log. Missing, mistyped, or misdated entries will produce misleading charts.
- If anything Pavio shows conflicts with what your veterinarian tells you, trust your veterinarian.
No Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, ML BOOST (operating as Pavio) is not liable for any harm to your pet or losses arising from care decisions — including changes to diet, medication, fluids, or treatment — made in reliance on information shown in Pavio without consulting a licensed veterinarian. See our Terms of Service for the full agreement and our Privacy Policy for how your data is handled.
