Cool Canine uses affiliate links where they genuinely help readers find relevant products. This page explains how affiliate relationships work and how they fit with the website’s editorial standards.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some pages on Cool Canine contain affiliate links to products or services.
If you click one of these links and make a purchase, Cool Canine may receive a small commission from the retailer. This commission is paid by the retailer, not by you, and it does not increase the price you pay.
Affiliate commissions help support the ongoing costs of researching, maintaining and improving the website.
How Products Are Chosen
Products are included because they are considered relevant to the topic being discussed and are likely to be useful to readers.
Affiliate relationships do not determine which products are recommended, how products are described or the conclusions reached within an article.
Not every product mentioned on Cool Canine is an affiliate product, and the website does not recommend products simply because a commission is available.
Editorial Independence
Editorial decisions are made independently of affiliate relationships.
The aim of every article is to provide practical, well-researched guidance that helps readers make informed decisions. Commercial relationships do not override that principle.
Where appropriate, articles may also recommend products that do not generate any commission if they are considered the most suitable option.
Product Information
Product availability, prices and specifications can change over time.
Although Cool Canine aims to keep information as accurate and up to date as possible, readers should always check the retailer’s website before making a purchase.
Transparency
Cool Canine believes readers should always know when affiliate relationships exist.
Where affiliate links are used, Cool Canine aims to make this clear so readers can make informed decisions.
