Affiliate Disclosure & Earnings Disclaimer

Last Updated: June 3, 2025

At Yappy Life, transparency and trust are at the heart of everything we do. We believe in being completely honest with our fellow pet parents about how we support our mission of helping you and your furry family members live your best lives together.

Affiliate Disclosure

What This Means for You

Yappy Life participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission when you click on certain links and make a purchase. This comes at absolutely no additional cost to you – the price you pay remains exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.

Our Affiliate Partnerships

We are proud partners with several trusted companies that align with our values of supporting pet parents:

• Amazon Associates Program – We earn from qualifying purchases made through Amazon links
• ShareASale Network – Various pet and lifestyle brands
• Commission Junction (CJ Affiliate) – Select partner retailers
• PetSafe – Pet safety and training products
• Tractor Supply Co. – Farm and pet supply retailer
• Bissell – Cleaning products for pet parents
• Future partnerships – We may add other affiliate relationships that benefit our community

How We Choose What to Recommend

We only recommend products and services that we genuinely believe will benefit you and your dog. Many of the items we feature are products we’ve personally used, researched thoroughly, or come highly recommended by trusted sources in the pet community. Our affiliate partnerships never influence our honest opinions – if we wouldn’t recommend it to our own family members, we won’t recommend it to yours.

Where You’ll Find Affiliate Links

Approximately 80% of our content contains affiliate links. You’ll find them in:

• Product reviews and recommendations
• Blog posts featuring gear, supplies, or services
• Resource lists and guides
• Email newsletters
• Social media posts

Physical Products Disclosure

Yappy Life may also sell our own branded merchandise, including apparel and accessories for pet parents. When we promote our own products, we’ll clearly identify them as Yappy Life branded items. Revenue from these sales helps support our mission of creating valuable content for the pet parent community.

Sponsored Content & Paid Partnerships

From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or accept compensation for featuring specific products or services. When this occurs, we will clearly mark these posts with disclosures such as:

• “Sponsored by [Brand Name]”
• “This post is in partnership with [Brand Name]”
• “#ad” or “#sponsored” on social media

All sponsored content maintains our editorial standards and aligns with our commitment to only featuring products and services we believe benefit pet parents.

No Earnings or Results Guarantees

Our Promise to You

While we’re passionate about sharing resources that can improve life with your furry family member, we want to be crystal clear: we make no guarantees about specific results, outcomes, or experiences you may have with any products, services, or advice featured on our website.

Individual Results Vary

Every dog is unique, every family situation is different, and what works wonderfully for one pet parent may not be the perfect fit for another. The products we recommend and the advice we share are based on research, experience, and feedback from our community, but your individual results may vary significantly.

Your Responsibility

We encourage you to:

• Research products thoroughly before making purchases
• Consult with your veterinarian before trying new products, especially those related to health, nutrition, or behavior
• Consider your individual budget, lifestyle, and your dog’s specific needs
• Read reviews from multiple sources

Editorial Independence

Our editorial content is created independently and reflects our genuine opinions and experiences. While we may earn commissions from affiliate links, this compensation does not influence:

• Which topics we choose to write about
• How we evaluate or rate products
• The honest opinions we share in our content
• Our commitment to providing valuable, accurate information

Your Trust Matters

We understand that recommending products and earning commissions creates a potential conflict of interest. We take this responsibility seriously and are committed to:

• Always disclosing our affiliate relationships
• Only recommending products we genuinely believe in
• Providing honest, balanced reviews that include both pros and cons
• Putting your needs and your dog’s wellbeing above potential earnings

Compliance with FTC Guidelines

This disclosure complies with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines requiring clear and conspicuous disclosure of affiliate relationships. We believe in going above and beyond these requirements because transparency builds the trust that’s essential to our community.

Updates to This Disclosure

We may update this disclosure from time to time to reflect new partnerships or changes in our business model. We’ll always note the date of the most recent update at the top of this page.

Questions or Concerns?

We’re always happy to answer questions about our affiliate relationships or any other aspect of how Yappy Life operates. If you have concerns or want more information about a specific recommendation, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
