Affiliate disclosure

How OpenPetGuide earns money, and what that does and doesn't change about what you read.

Last updated

In short

OpenPetGuide may earn a commission when you buy through links on this site. It costs you nothing extra, and it never determines what we recommend.

FTC disclosure

In accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), OpenPetGuide discloses that pages on this site may contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the retailer or advertiser at no additional cost to you.

This disclosure applies to every page on openpetguide.com.

Affiliate programs

We may join affiliate or referral programs run by pet retailers, pet insurance providers, pet food companies, veterinary telehealth services, and affiliate networks. When a specific relationship applies to a page, it's disclosed on that page.

As of the date at the top of this page, no page on the site contains affiliate links yet.

Identifying affiliate links

Pages that contain affiliate links carry a disclosure near the top, before the first link appears, and each block of product links carries its own short notice. Commercial links are marked with rel="sponsored nofollow". You never have to use our links: everything we mention can be found directly at the retailer.

What commissions don't buy

  • Coverage. No brand can pay to appear on this site.
  • Position or scores. Rankings aren't sold, and commission rates aren't a ranking factor.
  • Influence. Partners never decide what a page says or how products are ranked.
  • Wording. Partners never edit our wording.

Our full standards are in the editorial policy.

Pricing and availability

We don't show retailer prices on our pages. When you follow a link, the retailer's own listing is the authoritative source for price, specifications, and availability at the time you buy.
