How we write

Editorial standards.

The standards we hold every piece of LhasaLife content to. Short version: written from lived experience, sourced where it matters, and honest about the few ways we make money.

PRINCIPLE 01

Written from lived experience

Every article on LhasaLife is written by people who actually live with Lhasa Apsos. The advice, the numbers, the opinions: all filtered through real days with real dogs, including the grooming, the training tears, the vet bills, and the zoomies at half past ten. If we haven’t been through something first-hand, we say so plainly. We write from the heart because we know the breed from the inside.

PRINCIPLE 02

Sourced where it counts

Factual claims like prices, breed standards, health statistics, and legal requirements are sourced from reputable UK organisations like The Kennel Club, PDSA, RSPCA, Blue Cross, and named veterinary or academic references. Links go directly to the source so you can check our working. We never invent a statistic to make a point.

PRINCIPLE 03

Breed-specific, not generic

Lhasa Apsos aren’t just small dogs. They have a specific coat, a specific temperament, a specific history, and some very specific quirks. Advice that applies equally to a Pug or a Labrador doesn’t belong on this site. If you’re reading a LhasaLife article, the guidance is for this breed.

PRINCIPLE 04

Honest about commerce

Some articles contain affiliate links, mostly to Amazon UK via our Associates account, occasionally via Awin. Links are marked, a full disclosure appears on every monetised article, and every product we recommend is one we’d actually buy ourselves. Affiliate commission never decides which products make the cut. See our affiliate disclosure for the full picture.

Corrections and updates

We’re a small team and we get things wrong sometimes. Spot something that looks off? Email contact@lhasalife.com and we’ll look into it.

Material changes get a dated correction note on the article itself. Typos and tidying up go unmarked. We’d rather be corrected than wrong.

What we do not do

  • We do not give medical advice. For anything health-related, please see your vet.
  • We do not copy content from other blogs or rework press releases.
  • We do not accept sponsored editorial. Affiliate links are the only commercial relationship on the site.
  • We do not publish anything we wouldn’t happily read out loud to a friend over a cuppa.
