The Cosmic Pet is an independent editorial project. The following clarifies the nature, scope, and limitations of all content published on this site and its subdomains.
Breed-Zodiac Compatibility Scores
Compatibility percentages published on The Cosmic Pet (e.g. "Golden Retriever & Taurus: 90%") are editorial assessments based on a transparent six-criteria scoring model. They represent a structured comparison of documented breed behavioral traits against established astrological sign profiles. They are not scientific measurements, not clinical predictions, and do not guarantee any real-world outcome in the relationship between a pet and its owner.
Individual animals vary significantly within any breed. A compatibility score reflects breed-level tendencies, not individual animal personality. For guidance on choosing a specific pet, consult an animal shelter, a certified animal behaviorist, or a veterinarian.

Pet IQ Scores
Pet IQ scores published in the IQ Lab are calibrated against peer-reviewed ethology research (Coren, Hare, Miklósi) but are applied editorially across breed profiles. They represent relative cognitive tendencies at the breed level and are not the result of testing individual animals. They should not be used to assess, diagnose, or make clinical judgments about a specific dog or cat.
Astrological Content
Astrology-based content — including horoscopes, sign compatibility, and zodiac personality profiles — is published for entertainment and reflective purposes. The Cosmic Pet does not claim that astrological factors causally determine animal behavior, owner-pet compatibility, or any other empirical outcome. Astrological frameworks are used as a cultural and narrative lens, not a predictive scientific model.
No Veterinary or Behavioral Advice
Nothing on this site constitutes veterinary advice, animal behavioral therapy, or professional pet care guidance. If your pet shows signs of illness, behavioral distress, or any health concern, consult a licensed veterinarian. For behavioral issues, consult a certified animal behaviorist (CAAB or IAABC certified).
Affiliate Links & Commercial Relationships
Some pages on this site may contain affiliate links. These are clearly disclosed where present. The Cosmic Pet's editorial scores and rankings are not influenced by commercial relationships. We do not receive compensation to rank any breed, product, or service higher or lower.
Accuracy & Updates
We make reasonable efforts to ensure breed data and source citations are accurate and current. Breed standards, behavioral research, and astrological interpretations evolve. If you identify an error or outdated information, contact us via the About page.
