Transparency matters to us. Here's how we keep the lights on and why you can still trust what we write.
How We Make Money
The Caring Dog Parent is an independently owned publication. We are not owned by, employed by, or financially controlled by any pet brand, supplement company, or retailer.
Some of our articles contain affiliate links. When you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These links are clearly associated with product recommendations in our content.
What This Means for You
Nothing changes about the price you pay. The commission comes from the retailer, not from your pocket.
What This Does NOT Mean
Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial recommendations. Our review process, product testing, and recommendations are completely independent of whether a product has an affiliate program.
We have recommended products that don't have affiliate programs. We have declined to recommend products that offered us generous commissions. The editorial decision always comes first.
Our Partners
We currently participate in affiliate programs with:
- LongTails (longtailsdog.com) for dog longevity supplements
- Amazon Associates for various products mentioned in reviews and guides
This list will be updated as partnerships change.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). We believe in going beyond the minimum requirements because trust is the foundation of everything we do.
Questions?
If you ever have questions about a recommendation or want to know whether a link is an affiliate link, just ask. Email us at hello@thecaringdogparent.com and we'll give you a straight answer.
