Cat Buyer Guide is free to read. We pay for it with affiliate commissions and, later, possibly advertising. This page explains how that works and the rules we follow.
Amazon Associates
Cat Buyer Guide is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program that lets sites earn fees by linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
What that means on our pages:
- Some buyer’s guides link to products on Amazon.com. If you buy through one of those links, Amazon may pay us a commission. You pay the same price.
- Amazon links are plain text links. Our pages don’t load images, prices or scripts from Amazon, so nothing about your visit reaches Amazon unless you click.
- We don’t show Amazon prices, star ratings or customer reviews. Prices change often, so check the current price on Amazon before you buy.
- Every guide with Amazon links says so in the line under its title.
Other programs
We don’t belong to any other affiliate program yet. When we join one, for example a pet insurance company or a cat supply brand, we’ll name it here and update the date at the top.
What an affiliate link is
An affiliate link is a link to a seller that tells the seller you came from our site. If you then buy something, the seller may pay us a commission. It never changes the price you pay.
Our rules
- Commissions never decide what we recommend. When the best choice pays us nothing, such as adopting from a shelter, we say so.
- Every product has to earn its place. Our buyer’s guides set out their criteria first, using veterinary and official guidance, and only then list products that meet them. They are built from manufacturers’ specifications, warranties and return policies, and they are not hands-on tests.
- We don’t sell reviews, rankings or placements, and no company can pay to be included or to change what we write.
- Affiliate links are marked in the page code as “sponsored”, as search engines ask.
