Disclosures and editorial policy

Here's how this site stays free, where the money comes from, and the lines we don't cross.

The short version

This site is editorially independent. Editorial content is written first, with no consideration of affiliate revenue. Where products are recommended, we use Amazon Associates affiliate links and earn a small commission if you buy something — at no extra cost to you. We don't accept paid placements or sponsored articles.

Amazon Associates programme

Can My Dog Eat is a participant in the Amazon EU Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.co.uk.

When you click an Amazon link and buy something, we receive a small commission (typically 1–4% of the purchase price). You pay the same price you would have paid anyway.

CJ Affiliate programme

Can My Dog Eat is also a publisher with CJ Affiliate (publisher ID 8024985). We link to vet-supply retailers Best Vet Care and Canada Pet Care through this network — mainly flea, tick and worming treatments. If you click one of these links and buy something, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Awin programme

Can My Dog Eat is also a publisher with Awin (publisher ID 2886575). We link to Your Pet Nutrition UK, Granville Island Pet Treatery and Raw Paws Pet Food through this network — supplement, treat and raw food brands relevant to the food safety content on this site. If you click one of these links and buy something, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Country localisation

Our links open the right Amazon storefront for your country (UK, US, Canada, or Australia) so you see the right pricing and shipping. This is handled automatically by JavaScript in your browser — no cookies, no tracking, no IP geolocation.

How we choose what to recommend

The editorial content on every page comes first. We only add product links where they fit the topic naturally — safer alternatives, prevention kit, or supportive care items. Pages without a natural product fit have no affiliate links. The majority of our food-safety content has no links at all.

We use Amazon search-result links rather than locking you into one specific brand, so you see current pricing, reviews, and availability rather than a potentially out-of-stock item.

What we won't do

  • We will not put affiliate links on emergency or vet-call pages. If your dog has eaten something dangerous, you should be calling a poison helpline or a vet, not buying a product.
  • We will not accept payment for product placement.
  • We will not write sponsored articles disguised as editorial.
  • We will not publish veterinary advice we can't trace to a credible source. Our toxicity guidance is cross-checked against the Animal PoisonLine, PDSA, Blue Cross, and Merck Veterinary Manual.

Questions or concerns

If you ever feel a recommendation reads as commercial rather than editorial, please tell us — that's a failure of the standard we're trying to maintain. Contact us directly.
