SmartDogWellness earns commissions from some affiliate links, primarily through the Amazon Associates Programme. These commissions never influence our editorial opinions — if we recommend a product, it’s because we genuinely believe it’s good for dogs. Pages with affiliate links are always labelled.
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that lets the retailer know you arrived from our site. If you click one of our affiliate links and make a qualifying purchase, we earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or type the retailer’s address directly into your browser.
SmartDogWellness is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com (and Amazon’s regional stores including Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, Amazon.com.au, and others).
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
From time to time, we may also participate in affiliate programmes offered by other pet product retailers, dog food brands, or pet insurance providers. Any such relationship is disclosed on the relevant page with a clear notice.
We research and select products based on quality, safety, and genuine usefulness to dog owners — not on commission rates. We sometimes recommend products with no affiliate programme at all, simply because we believe they’re the best option available.
When evaluating products for recommendation, we consider:
We do not accept payment to feature a product, give it a positive review, or rank it higher in a comparison. If a brand has paid for content to appear on this site (e.g., a sponsored article), that content is clearly labelled “Sponsored” and does not affect our independently researched recommendations.
Pages that contain affiliate links display a notice near the top of the page, typically reading: “This page contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.”
Individual affiliate links may include a disclosure icon or note. Amazon links may redirect through amzn.to or contain tag=smartdogwellness in the URL.
This disclosure is made in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). We also comply with the UK’s ASA/CAP guidelines on affiliate marketing disclosure.
