Accessibility

The Pet Treatment Index aims to make its public content and essential forms usable by people with disabilities. We design toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG 2.2 Level AA, while recognizing that an aim is not the same as a formal conformance certification.

Practices built into the site

The foundation is designed with:

semantic headings and landmarks;
a skip link;
keyboard-accessible navigation and forms;
visible focus indicators;
readable text size and line spacing;
color contrast intended to meet WCAG AA;
information that does not depend on color alone;
labeled form controls and accessible error summaries;
reduced-motion support;
responsive layouts without horizontal overflow at narrow widths;
tables that preserve labels and meaning on mobile;
alternative text for meaningful images;
and no audio or video required to understand the core content.

No claim of perfect access

Technology, content, browsers, devices, and assistive tools vary. We do not claim that every page or third-party destination is fully accessible in every environment.

External sources, embedded services, email providers, analytics tools, and third-party links may have accessibility practices we do not control.

Report a barrier

Use Contact and choose Accessibility issue, or email editorial@pettreatmentindex.com.

Helpful details include:

the page or feature;
what you were trying to do;
the barrier you encountered;
device and browser;
assistive technology, if you choose to share it;
and the format or accommodation that would help.

Do not include medical records or other sensitive information.

We do not promise a response time, but verified barriers are handled as publication defects and may also be submitted through the Corrections process.

Alternative formats

You may ask whether a reasonable alternative format is available for a public page. Availability depends on the content and request, but we will consider the request in good faith.
