Privacy policy and disclosures
Last updated November 8, 2026. MorselHug is a small, independent site about homemade occasional treats for dogs.
What we collect
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not sell personal information. The calorie calculator and the fridge recipe finder run entirely in your browser; the numbers and foods you type are not sent to us.
The ingredient label checker page loads an open-source text-recognition library (Tesseract.js) and its language data from public content delivery networks such as jsDelivr. Like any web request, those providers receive technical information such as your IP address and browser type. A label photo you choose is read inside your browser and is not uploaded to us.
Like most websites, our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and pages visited) for security and to keep the site running.
Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits, see which pages are read, and see which tools are used. It sets first-party cookies and sends Google technical information such as pages viewed, approximate location (country/city level), device and browser type.
For our tools we only record that a feature was used — for example “calculator used”, “fridge search run, 2 foods, 3 results”, or “recipe link clicked”. We never send your pet’s weight, age, neuter status, activity, health answers, or the foods you type. Google signals and ad personalization are turned off, and we do not use analytics data for advertising.
Visitors in Europe and the UK are asked before analytics loads. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, analytics stays off. Anyone can change their choice here at any time:
Analytics setting
Your choice is saved in this browser only. You can also use Google’s Analytics opt-out browser add-on. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Cookies and advertising
Apart from the analytics cookies above, we do not set advertising cookies. We do not currently show ads. If we add advertising in the future, ad partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show and measure ads, and we will update this page before that happens, including how to opt out.
Affiliate links
Some product links are or may become affiliate links, for example through the Amazon Associates program. When a link is an affiliate link and you buy through it, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It does not change what we recommend or the label checks we describe.
Recipes from other sources
Every recipe page shows its status. My own recipes, made in my kitchen and shown in my videos, are marked “Made in my kitchen”. Others are clearly marked as not yet tested: some are written from published treat guidance, and reference recipes adapted from other cooks are rewritten in our own words and link to the original source.
Not veterinary advice
Everything on this site is general information about occasional treats for healthy pets. It is not veterinary advice. Ask your veterinarian before changing your pet’s diet, especially if your pet has a health condition.
Children
This site is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13.
