Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: April 2026
PetPalHQ ("we," "us," or "our") participates in affiliate marketing programs. This page explains our affiliate relationships and how they may affect the content on this site.
Amazon Associates Program
PetPalHQ 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. Our Amazon Associates tag is petpalhq-20.
When you click a product link on PetPalHQ and make a qualifying purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission. This commission comes at no additional cost to you — you pay the same price you would pay if you navigated to Amazon directly.
Other Affiliate Programs
In addition to Amazon, we may occasionally participate in affiliate programs operated by other retailers, including but not limited to Chewy, Petco, and other pet product retailers. These relationships are governed by the same standards described in this disclosure.
How Affiliate Relationships Affect Our Content
We want to be completely transparent: affiliate commissions help fund the operation of PetPalHQ, including the time and resources required to research, test, and publish our buying guides.
However, we do not allow affiliate relationships to influence our editorial recommendations. Our reviews and rankings are based on product quality, safety, value for money, and user feedback — not on commission rates or paid placements. We do not accept payment to rank a product higher than it deserves.
If we include a product in a buying guide, it's because we genuinely believe it's worth recommending to our readers and their pets.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). Any material connection between PetPalHQ and a product or brand — including affiliate relationships — is disclosed clearly on the relevant pages.
Pages containing affiliate links display the following notice at the top of the content: "This page contains affiliate links. If you purchase through these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you."
