Advertise with Us
At PawFlicker.com, we are committed to transparency and building trust with our readers. As a blog dedicated to providing expert-curated information about pets, particularly dogs, we sometimes include affiliate links in our articles, recommendations, and resources.
This Affiliate Disclosure explains how these links work, our policies, and how they support our mission to deliver high-quality content on topics like pet health, nutrition, training, behavior, grooming, adoption, and lifestyle integration.
In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and other applicable laws, we disclose that PawFlicker.com participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a small commissionâat no additional cost to youâwhen you make a purchase through links to third-party retailers or services featured on our site.
How Affiliate Links Work
- What Are Affiliate Links?: These are special tracking links provided by affiliate programs (e.g., Amazon Associates, Chewy Affiliate Program, or other pet-related networks). When you click on one and complete a qualifying purchase (e.g., dog food, toys, or grooming supplies), we receive a percentage of the sale as a referral fee.
- Where Do They Appear?: Affiliate links may be included in product recommendations, reviews, roundups (e.g., “Best Dog Beds for Senior Pets”), or resource lists. They are always relevant to our content and based on expert opinions from veterinarians, nutritionists, trainers, and other specialists.
- Our Selection Process: We only recommend products or services that align with our values of quality, ethics, and animal welfare. Recommendations are chosen based on research, expert input, user reviews, and personal testing where possible. Affiliate status does not influence our contentâ we would endorse these items regardless of commissions.
- No Extra Cost to You: Purchasing through our links costs the same (or sometimes less, due to exclusive discounts) as buying directly from the retailer.
- Examples of Affiliate Partners: We may partner with companies like Amazon, Chewy, Petco, or specialized brands in pet nutrition (e.g., for grain-free dog food) and training tools. All such links are clearly marked with disclosures like “[Affiliate Link]” or noted in the article.
Our Commitment to Integrity
- Editorial Independence: Our content is created independently of affiliate relationships. Experts contributing to PawFlicker.com (e.g., licensed veterinarians or certified trainers) provide unbiased advice, and we do not allow sponsors to dictate our opinions or ratings.
- Transparency in Content: Whenever an article contains affiliate links, we include a clear disclosure at the top, such as: “This post contains affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you make a purchase, at no additional cost to you.” This ensures you’re informed before engaging.
- No Guarantees: While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee the availability, pricing, or quality of linked products. Always review the retailer’s terms before purchasing.
- Compliance: We adhere to FTC rules requiring material connection disclosures. If you believe we’ve missed a disclosure, please contact us so we can correct it promptly.
