The honest version, in plain English.
Some of the links on this site — particularly on the Arie's Faves page and within blog posts — are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we earn a small percentage of the sale. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
Affiliate links do not influence what we recommend. Every product on Arie's Faves page is something Arie has actually used. We don't recommend things because they have good commission rates; we recommend them because we've tried them and they work. The Ruffwear harness is on the list because it's the only harness that's survived Arie. The Kong is on the list because it genuinely buys us 20 minutes of peace.
If a product didn't work for us, it's not on the list. That's the whole policy.
We are 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. We may also occasionally work with other affiliate programs for pet-related products.
If you ever have questions about whether a specific link is an affiliate link, or anything else about how this site operates, reach us at ariesafaripup@gmail.com. We'll always be straight with you.
