How PetSupplyGuide Handles This Area
These steps describe the practical approach used across the site.
1. Identify commercial links
Affiliate links should use appropriate disclosure and link attributes.
2. Keep claims supportable
No discount, performance or availability claim should be invented.
3. Prioritize reader fit
Recommendations should consider use case, sizing, safety and maintenance.
4. Avoid pay-to-win conclusions
Compensation should not automatically determine rankings or favorable language.
5. Link neutrally
CTA language should invite comparison rather than create false urgency.
6. Correct mistakes
Readers and brands may report inaccurate information through the contact page.
Amazon Associates and Other Programs
PetSupplyGuide may participate in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, PetSupplyGuide may earn from qualifying purchases.
Affiliate links may include tracking parameters or short links supplied by the relevant program. The retailer—not PetSupplyGuide—controls checkout, fulfillment, returns, warranties, pricing and product availability.
The presence of an affiliate link does not mean a product is suitable for every pet. Readers should verify dimensions, restrictions, materials, compatibility and current seller information before purchasing.
Affiliate Disclosure FAQs
What is an affiliate link?
An affiliate link contains referral information that may allow a retailer or network to credit PetSupplyGuide when a qualifying action occurs.
Do affiliate links increase the price I pay?
Affiliate commissions are generally paid by the retailer or network and do not appear as a separate charge to the reader. The retailer controls the final price.
