Affiliate Disclosure
PetsBlueprint is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
What This Means for You
When you click on product links on PetsBlueprint and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission. This comes at no additional cost to you — the price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon.
How We Choose Products
Our product recommendations are based on genuine research, testing, and expertise. We never recommend a product solely because it has a higher commission rate. Our editorial process is as follows:
- We research dozens of products in each category, reading hundreds of customer reviews and expert opinions.
- We test products with real dogs whenever possible, evaluating durability, safety, and whether dogs actually like using them.
- We consult with veterinarians, trainers, and pet industry professionals to validate our recommendations.
- We update our recommendations regularly as new products become available and prices change.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Running PetsBlueprint — researching products, testing gear, writing guides, and maintaining this website — takes significant time and resources. Affiliate commissions help us keep the site running and continue providing free content to dog owners.
Your Trust Matters
We believe transparency builds trust. If you ever feel that a recommendation doesn't seem genuine or if you have questions about our process, please don't hesitate to reach out. Your trust is more valuable to us than any commission.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with FTC guidelines, we disclose that PetsBlueprint may receive compensation for products purchased through links on this site. We are committed to providing honest, unbiased recommendations regardless of affiliate relationships.
