At Dog Food Insider, we believe in complete openness regarding how our website is funded. This disclosure page explains our use of affiliate links, how commissions work, and how we preserve strict editorial independence.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Dog Food Insider participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means that throughout our website, you will find tracking links to third-party online retailers, pet stores, and product manufacturers.
When you click on one of these affiliate links and make a purchase, the retailer pays Dog Food Insider a small referral commission. This occurs at absolutely no additional cost to you as a reader. The price you pay for any product remains exactly the same whether you use our link or navigate directly to the retailer’s site.
How Affiliate Commissions Fund Our Site
Running a detailed, regularly updated information website requires ongoing operational expenditure. Revenue generated through affiliate referral links helps cover essential costs, including:
- Domain registration and high-speed UK web hosting.
- Technical upkeep, database management, and website security.
- In-depth research, content creation, and regular recipe audit updates.
- Software tools used for price tracking and ingredient verification.
Editorial Independence & Integrity
We maintain a firm boundary between financial operations and editorial content. Our review evaluations, product comparisons, and nutritional breakdowns are conducted independently of affiliate partnerships.
| Principle | Our Commitment |
|---|---|
| No Influenced Ratings | Higher affiliate commission rates never result in higher review scores or preferential placement in comparison tables. |
| Inclusion of Non-Affiliates | We frequently review, list, and discuss UK dog food brands even if they do not offer an affiliate program. |
| Objective Evaluation | If a popular commercial food contains vague ingredients or low meat content, we point it out regardless of affiliate relationship. |
| No Extra Cost | Using our affiliate links never inflates the retail price of your purchase. |
How to Identify Affiliate Links
To ensure total clarity, we aim to make affiliate links easily recognizable. On our website, affiliate links may appear as:
- Buttons labeled “Check Price,” “View on Retailer,” or “Shop Now.”
- Text links within product reviews pointing directly to online pet food stockists.
- Comparison tables linking out to UK stockists.
You can also expect a general disclosure notification at the top of our review and comparison pages reminding you that affiliate links may be present.
Sponsored Content & Commercial Partnerships
We do not allow manufacturers or brands to buy positive reviews. In the event that Dog Food Insider accepts sponsored content, guest contributions, or paid advertising placements in the future, such content will be explicitly labeled as “Sponsored,” “Promotional,” or “Paid Advertisement” so readers can instantly distinguish commercial promotions from independent editorial work.
