Our Commitment to Transparency
At Flat-Faced Friends Care (brachydogcare.com), we believe in being completely transparent with our readers. This affiliate disclosure explains how we earn money through this website and our relationships with various companies.
What Is an Affiliate Link?
An affiliate link is a special URL that contains a tracking code. When you click on an affiliate link on our website and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This is one of the ways we support the operation of this website and continue to provide free, helpful content to brachycephalic dog owners.
Our Affiliate Relationships
Flat-Faced Friends Care participates in the following affiliate programs:
Chewy Affiliate Program
We are a participant in the Chewy Affiliate Program. When you click on links to Chewy products and make a purchase, we earn a commission of approximately 4% of the sale amount. This helps support our website at no extra cost to you.
Amazon Associates Program
Flat-Faced Friends Care 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.
Pet Insurance Affiliates
We may earn referral fees when you request quotes or sign up for pet insurance through links on our website. These fees vary by provider and are paid by the insurance company, not by you.
Other Affiliate Programs
From time to time, we may participate in other affiliate programs or partnerships. We will always identify these relationships when they exist.
What This Means for You
- You pay the same price — Affiliate commissions come from the retailer, not from you
- Our opinions are our own — We never recommend products solely because of affiliate commissions
- We only recommend products we believe in — Our goal is to help you and your brachycephalic dog
- You are never obligated to purchase — Using our links is completely optional
Our Product Review Process
When we review products on this website:
- We research thoroughly — We study product specifications, read customer reviews, and consult veterinary professionals when appropriate
- We test when possible — We personally test products with brachycephalic dogs whenever feasible
- We consider breed-specific needs — We evaluate products specifically for flat-faced breeds, not just generic dog products
- We disclose affiliations — We clearly indicate when products are available through affiliate links
- We update regularly — Product availability, prices, and our recommendations may change over time
How We Use Affiliate Income
Revenue generated from affiliate links helps us:
- Maintain and improve this website
- Create more free, educational content
- Purchase products for testing and review
- Support our ongoing research into brachycephalic dog health
Editorial Integrity
Our editorial content is not influenced by affiliate relationships. We will never:
- Recommend a product we believe is poor quality
- Hide negative aspects of products
- Accept payment for positive reviews
- Let affiliate commissions dictate our content
If a product has significant flaws, we will tell you — even if it means we might earn less commission.
Non-Affiliate Links
Not all links on this website are affiliate links. Many links are provided simply because we believe they offer helpful resources for brachycephalic dog owners. We link to:
- Veterinary resources and research papers
- Breed-specific clubs and organizations
- Government and educational websites
- Other helpful resources with no financial relationship
