MuttCraft focuses on genuine content and honest recommendations. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) wants readers to know when a website might make money from product links or brand promotions. Their disclosure rules protect readers by ensuring content creators are upfront about how partnerships and sponsorships work. This means that when you see a link on my site, you have a clear idea about whether I might receive a commission if you make a purchase. Transparency like this helps you make smart decisions about what you click and buy.
Some posts and links on MuttCraft may include affiliate links. When you click these links and buy something, I may receive a small payment from the seller. This payment helps keep this site running and allows me to keep sharing resources, tips, and product reviews. I always aim to provide information that is useful, honest, and relevant to my readers. Your support, through these links, lets me dig into new products, write next-level cool guides for pet lovers, and cover costs without extra charges for you.
Understanding Affiliate Links at MuttCraft
Affiliate links are unique links provided by companies to track when someone goes to their website from MuttCraft and makes a purchase. It’s a common practice on many blogs and review sites. When you click an affiliate link and buy a product, the brand pays me a small portion of the sale. The prices you pay stay the same, whether you use MuttCraft’s affiliate links or buy directly from the vendor’s site. Shopping through these links is totally optional, but it gives a boost to this blog with no cost to you. I always point out affiliate links, so you can spot them easily.
Types of Affiliate Programs Supported Here
MuttCraft takes part in a couple of main types of affiliate programs. I only promote brands and products that I’ve personally tested or checked out enough to trust. Below are the programs I use most often:
1. Amazon Associates Program
MuttCraft is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. This is a standard affiliate advertising program that pays websites a small commission if they drive sales through special Amazon links. If you see a link on my site that goes to amazon.com and you buy something within a certain timeframe, Amazon pays me a percentage of that sale. This does not increase your cost or change your shopping experience. The commission comes from Amazon, not from the buyer. Using these links is an easy way to support the site while shopping for products you already wanted.
2. Product Partner Links
At times, I also recommend products or services with affiliate partners beyond Amazon. These could be gear bundles, training courses, or other petrelated packages that fit my audience’s interests. If you purchase through these links, I may be compensated by the brand or seller. Again, you pay the same price regardless of how you access the product link, and your support helps keep MuttCraft going. These links are selected carefully, putting usefulness and quality above anything else. Your trust matters, so only honest recommendations make the cut.
Information About Sponsored Content
I do not write sponsored posts unless the content meets my usual standards of honesty and substance. When you see a sponsored post or promotion on MuttCraft, expect a clear disclosure right at the start of the article. The goal is to keep recommendations unbiased and grounded in actual experience and careful research. I want you to know when a post is sponsored, so you can have confidence in what you’re reading.
Why Clear Disclosure Matters
I believe trust comes from being upfront with readers. Clear affiliate disclosures mean you always know when a link may earn me a commission, so you can make choices with full confidence. If you have any questions about MuttCraft’s partnerships, want to check in for more details, or simply want to share feedback, you can always reach out directly. I value transparency and hope it helps you feel comfortable with every recommendation you see here.
