We Use Affiliate Links
SmartPawParent participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission when you click on certain links and make a purchase — at no extra cost to you whatsoever.
Specifically, we are a participant in the following affiliate programs:
- Amazon Associates Program — As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through our Amazon links. This applies to Amazon.com (US), Amazon.sg (Singapore), and Amazon.com.au (Australia).
- Tractive Affiliate Program — We may earn a commission on sales referred through our Tractive GPS tracker links.
- Other brand affiliate programs — From time to time we partner with other pet product brands. Any such partnerships are disclosed clearly.
What This Means For You
When you click a product link on SmartPawParent and buy something, we may receive a small percentage of the sale. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer — you never pay more because of our affiliate relationship.
Our Editorial Policy
Our affiliate relationships never influence what we recommend. We only write about products we have genuinely researched, and we only recommend products we believe are worth your money.
If a product isn’t good enough to recommend honestly, we won’t recommend it — regardless of commission rates. Our readers’ trust matters more than any individual sale.
Why We Do This
Running SmartPawParent — researching products, writing guides, maintaining the website — takes real time and effort. Affiliate commissions help cover those costs and allow us to keep publishing free, honest content for pet owners.
We are transparent about this because we believe you deserve to know how we make money, and because the FTC requires affiliate disclosures for US-based content.
