HuPaw believes in being transparent about how our website is supported.
Some pages, articles, guides, product recommendations, and other content on hupaw.com may contain affiliate links. This means that if you click one of these links and make a purchase, HuPaw may receive a commission or other compensation from the retailer or affiliate partner.
There is generally no additional cost to you when you purchase through an affiliate link.
Affiliate commissions help support HuPaw and allow us to continue creating practical pet-parent guides, useful resources, product recommendations, and other content for humans who love paws.
Amazon Associates Disclosure
HuPaw participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon and affiliated sites.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Amazon currently requires Associates to clearly identify themselves with this statement on their site. Amazon also requires affiliate relationships to be disclosed clearly and conspicuously near affiliate links or product reviews.
HuPaw is independently operated. Amazon does not sponsor, endorse, or control HuPaw, and participation in the Amazon Associates Program should not be understood as an endorsement of HuPaw by Amazon. Amazon’s Operating Agreement specifically prohibits Associates from implying such an endorsement or affiliation beyond what the program permits.
Other Affiliate Programs
HuPaw may also participate in affiliate programs operated by other retailers, marketplaces, brands, networks, and service providers.
When you purchase a product or service through one of these affiliate links, HuPaw may receive a commission, referral fee, or other compensation.
The specific commission HuPaw may receive does not normally affect the price you pay.
Affiliate programs and partners may change over time as HuPaw grows.
How We Identify Affiliate Links
Where appropriate, HuPaw may use notices such as:
Affiliate disclosure: This page contains affiliate links. HuPaw may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.
For individual Amazon affiliate links, additional disclosures may appear close to the relevant link or recommendation. Amazon states that link-level disclosures should be clear, noticeable, and placed near the affiliate link or product review; examples it provides include “(paid link),” “#ad,” and “#CommissionsEarned.”
A link being an affiliate link does not necessarily mean that HuPaw has a special relationship with the manufacturer of the product.
Our Approach to Recommendations
HuPaw aims to recommend products because we believe they may be useful, relevant, or interesting to pet parents—not simply because a commission may be available.
Affiliate relationships do not guarantee positive coverage.
Where practical, recommendations may be based on factors such as product features, suitability for a particular purpose, available information, customer needs, value, usability, research, or other considerations relevant to the topic.
However, HuPaw cannot personally test every product mentioned on the Website.
We encourage you to consider your own needs, circumstances, budget, and your individual pet before making a purchase.
Product Information, Prices, and Availability
Product information displayed or discussed on HuPaw may change.
Retailers and manufacturers may modify prices, availability, specifications, packaging, product descriptions, or other information without notice.
The information shown on a third-party retailer’s website at the time of purchase should generally be treated as the current information for that transaction.
HuPaw does not guarantee that a product will remain available or that a price previously mentioned on our Website will remain the same.
Third-Party Purchases
When you click an affiliate link and purchase directly from another retailer, your purchase is generally made from that retailer rather than from HuPaw.
The third party is responsible for matters such as payment processing, shipping, returns, warranties, customer service, and its own terms and privacy practices.
HuPaw is not responsible for the acts, omissions, policies, products, services, or websites of independent third-party merchants.
Please review the retailer’s applicable terms and policies before purchasing.
Sponsored Content and Free Products
From time to time, HuPaw may receive payment, free products, samples, discounts, or other consideration in connection with content.
When content is sponsored or a material relationship exists that requires disclosure, we aim to identify that relationship clearly in the relevant content.
Receiving a product or compensation does not guarantee a positive review or recommendation.
Pet Product Recommendations
Every pet is different.
A product that may be appropriate for one dog or cat may not be suitable for another because of differences in size, age, health, behavior, chewing habits, activity level, or other circumstances.
Always review manufacturer instructions, warnings, sizing information, and safety guidance before using a product with your pet.
HuPaw’s product recommendations and content are intended for general informational purposes and are not a substitute for professional veterinary advice.
Our Commitment to Transparency
HuPaw’s goal is to build trust by being useful before being promotional.
We want readers to understand when HuPaw may financially benefit from a recommendation so they can make informed decisions about whether to follow a link or purchase a product.
Using one of our affiliate links is entirely optional.
You are always free to visit a retailer directly instead.
