Does using your affiliate links cost me anything extra?

No — absolutely not. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, you pay the exact same price you would have paid anyway. The commission we earn comes from the retailer's marketing budget, not from your pocket.

Do affiliate relationships influence your reviews?

No. We research and evaluate products independently before deciding whether to recommend them. We only recommend products we genuinely believe are good for dogs and their owners. If a product doesn't meet our standards, we won't promote it regardless of commission rates.

How do I know which links are affiliate links?

Any link to a product or program on this site may be an affiliate link. We don't mark every single link individually, but this page serves as a blanket disclosure for all affiliate relationships on Dogsadvisors.com, as required by the FTC.

What is the FTC requirement for affiliate disclosure?

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that websites clearly disclose any material connection between the site and the products it recommends — including affiliate commissions. This page, along with in-content disclosures, fulfills that requirement under FTC 16 CFR Part 255.

Do you accept paid reviews or sponsored content?

Occasionally we may publish sponsored content or receive free products for review. When this happens, it will be clearly labeled as 'Sponsored' or 'Product provided for review' at the top of that specific article. Our editorial opinion remains independent regardless.

How is this site funded?

Dogsadvisors.com is funded primarily through affiliate commissions and display advertising. This allows us to keep all content free for dog owners. We are committed to transparency about how we earn revenue.

Last Updated: April 16, 2026

Transparency is core to how we operate. This page explains exactly how Dogsadvisors.com earns revenue, which affiliate programs we participate in, and how that affects (or doesn't affect) our recommendations.

FTC Required Disclosure

In accordance with the FTC's 16 CFR Part 255 guidelines, Dogsadvisors.com discloses that this site contains affiliate links. When you click on these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This helps us keep the site free and continue producing quality dog care content.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click a product link on Dogsadvisors.com and buy something, the retailer pays us a small referral fee. Here's the full picture:

You Click a Link

You click a product recommendation or review link on our site. A tracking cookie is set so the retailer knows the referral came from us.

You Make a Purchase

You buy the product at the normal retail price — the same price you'd pay going directly to the store. No markup, no hidden fees.

We Earn a Commission

The retailer pays us a small percentage of the sale from their marketing budget. This is how we fund the site and keep all content free.

Our Editorial Independence Commitment

We research first

Every product we recommend is evaluated on its merits before we consider whether an affiliate program exists.

We say no to bad products

If a product doesn't meet our standards, we won't promote it — regardless of commission rates offered.

Negative reviews stay up

We don't remove or soften negative reviews because a company offers us an affiliate deal.

Commissions don't change rankings

Our product rankings and recommendations are based on quality, value, and user feedback — not commission size.
