Affiliate Disclosure
FTC Compliance Statement
In Plain English
Some of the links on AgingDogCare.com are affiliate links. This means if you click on a link and buy a product, we receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the site running and continue creating free guides for owners of aging dogs.
FTC Disclosure
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255), AgingDogCare.com provides the following disclosure:
AgingDogCare.com may be compensated in exchange for featured placement of certain sponsored products and services, or by your clicking on links posted on this website. This compensation may impact how and where products appear on this site (including, for example, the order in which they appear).
Amazon Associates Program
AgingDogCare.com 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.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. This means that when you click on an Amazon link on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a small referral fee from Amazon. This fee comes from Amazon's advertising budget and does not increase the price you pay for any product.
How Affiliate Links Work on This Site
Throughout our articles and guides, you will find links to products on Amazon.com. These links contain a special tracking code (our affiliate tag: agingdogcare-20) that tells Amazon the referral came from our site. Here is what you should know:
- You pay the same price. The price of any product is the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to Amazon. Our commission comes from Amazon, not from you.
- We do not receive free products. We are not paid by manufacturers to recommend specific products. Our recommendations are based on our own research.
- We recommend what we believe is helpful. We only link to products we believe are genuinely useful for owners of aging dogs. If we don't think a product is worth recommending, we don't link to it — regardless of the commission rate.
- Commission rates vary. Amazon pays different commission rates for different product categories. We do not favor higher-commission products over lower-commission ones. Our recommendations are based on usefulness, not commission potential.
Our Editorial Standards
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or product recommendations. We maintain the following standards:
- We research products thoroughly before recommending them
- We present pros and cons honestly, including potential drawbacks
- We recommend product categories rather than specific brands when appropriate, allowing you to make your own choice
- We will never recommend a product we believe could be harmful or ineffective
- We will never make false claims about a product's effectiveness
- We clearly label affiliate links and product recommendation sections
Google AdSense
AgingDogCare.com may also display advertisements served by Google AdSense. These advertisements are selected by Google based on the content of our pages and your browsing history. We do not control which specific advertisements are displayed. Revenue from these advertisements helps support the ongoing operation of this website.
Identifying Affiliate Content
On AgingDogCare.com, you can identify affiliate content in the following ways:
- Each article containing affiliate links includes a disclosure notice near the top of the page
- Product recommendation sections are styled in distinctive boxes to differentiate them from regular editorial content
- Links to Amazon.com are affiliate links unless otherwise stated
- Our site footer contains a persistent affiliate disclosure notice on every page
