Affiliate Disclosure

Pet Almanac is a reader-supported publication. This page explains how we earn money and how that relates to our content.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We may participate in affiliate programs, such as retailer programs, and the commissions help pay for the research, writing, and editing that go into our guides.

Where you will see disclosures

Any article that contains affiliate links includes a disclosure near the top, above the first affiliate link, so you know before you click. We also explain our approach here on this page.

Amazon Associates

If we join the Amazon Associates program, the following statement applies: “As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.”

Commissions do not decide our recommendations

Commissions never decide what we recommend or how we rank anything. We choose products by comparing specifications, manufacturer information, how well each fits an animal’s care requirements, and patterns in verified owner feedback. We include products that pay no commission, and we mention drawbacks of those that do. Our full approach is on the How We Review page.

Advertising

We may show display ads served by third parties such as Google. Advertisers do not influence our editorial content, and we do not accept payment for favorable coverage. For information about cookies used in advertising, see our Privacy Policy.

What this means for you

Using our links is always optional. You can search for any product we mention directly at any retailer you prefer, and our guides are written to be useful whether or not you buy anything.

Prices and availability

Retailers set their own prices, availability, and return policies. Pet Almanac does not sell products, so please check the retailer’s site for current details before you buy.
