Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: July 19, 2026
Coydog is built around sharing useful, honest information that helps people understand and care for the animals in their lives. Some pages and posts contain affiliate links that help support this work – at no cost to you.
What is an affiliate link?
An affiliate link is a specially tracked link to a product or service offered by another company. If you click one of these links and make a qualifying purchase, Coydog may receive a small commission. Your purchase price is not increased because you used the link.
Affiliate commissions help support the costs of maintaining Coydog, researching and creating educational content, and producing free pet-care resources.
This means that nothing changes on your end, while a purchase you were already going to make now helps support Coydog. Pretty neat!
Amazon Associates disclosure
Coydog participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated Amazon websites.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Coydog may participate in Amazon Associates programs serving more than one country. Amazon links may therefore direct eligible international visitors to an Amazon website serving their location.
How products are selected
Coydog’s recommendations are guided by relevance, usefulness, safety, professional experience, research, and the needs of pets and their guardians—not by whether a product pays a commission.
Recommended products may include items that:
- I have personally used with my own pets or in my professional work
- Have been reviewed or tested by Coydog’s resident animal quality-control department, the Coydog Crew
- I have researched and believe may be useful for a particular need
- Illustrate a product type, feature, or approach discussed in an article
- or May help a pet guardian apply information covered in Coydog or Coydog Wellness content.
When my experience with a product is limited or indirect, I aim to make that context clear. I may also discuss limitations, safety considerations, unsuitable uses, and noncommercial alternatives.
An affiliate relationship does not guarantee a positive review. Companies do not receive editorial control over Coydog’s opinions merely because a link may generate a commission. This extends to small businesses and individuals as well: Coydog is happy to review or receive products, but no compensation, commission, or free products influence the review or recommendation status.
Coydog is committed to honest, ethical guidance.
Individual needs still matter
No product is appropriate for every animal. Size, species, age, health, behavior, environment, preferences, and the way a product is introduced and used can all affect whether it is suitable.
Product information on Coydog is educational and should not replace individualized veterinary diagnosis or treatment, qualified behavior assistance, or other appropriate professional care. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions, supervise products when appropriate, and consult a veterinarian or other qualified professional when you have safety or health concerns.
Coydog cannot guarantee the continued availability, price, ingredients, construction, seller, or quality of a third-party product. Product listings and formulas can change, sometimes with all the subtlety of a cat knocking something off a counter, despite the manufacturer’s attempts at being slick. This can be especially true with pet foods; Coydog always recommends extensive research and consultation with a qualified pet nutritionalist or veterinarian.
Prices and availability
Prices, discounts, availability, shipping terms, and product details may change at any time. The information displayed by the seller when you make a purchase governs that transaction.
Although Coydog tries to keep recommendations useful and current, older articles may contain links to products that have been modified, replaced, or discontinued.
Other affiliate relationships and sponsored content
Coydog may eventually participate in affiliate programs operated by companies other than Amazon. Those links will be disclosed in accordance with applicable requirements and our ethical, transparency-first standards.
If Coydog receives a free product, sponsorship payment, discounted service, or another material benefit connected to particular content, that relationship will be clearly disclosed. Receiving a product does not guarantee favorable coverage.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, purchasing through an affiliate link does not create a client relationship between you and Coydog or Coydog Wellness.
Your choice
Using an affiliate link is always optional. You may search for the product independently, purchase it elsewhere, borrow it, buy it secondhand when appropriate, or decide that it is not right for you.
Coydog appreciates purchases made through its links, but the purpose of a recommendation is foremost to help you make a more informed decision for the animal in front of you. Your visit, readership, and interest in being a great pet guardian are always deeply appreciated at Coydog, whether you choose to use affiliate links to support or not.
