Affiliate Disclosure
PawCalc is free to use. If it ever earns money from affiliate links, this page will say so — and the money will never decide what a calculator says or what a guide recommends.
1. What an affiliate link is
An affiliate link is a link to a retailer that pays the referring site a small commission if you buy something after clicking it. The price you pay is the same. It is a normal way for free websites to cover their costs — hosting, writing, and keeping the calculators working.
2. Current status: no affiliate links yet
At the time of writing, PawCalc carries no affiliate links and earns no affiliate income. This page exists so that the rule is clear before any link ever appears: if and when affiliate links are added, they will be labelled clearly next to the link itself, and this page will be updated to list the programmes involved.
3. What affiliate income will never influence
If affiliate links are added in the future, they will never influence: the result of any calculator; the ranges or recommendations in any guide; which breeds, foods, or products we cover; or the order in which options are shown. Calculators are maths — the same formula gives the same answer regardless of who pays us. Guides are written from published sources, and any product mention will be there because it is genuinely relevant, not because it pays.
4. Paid content
PawCalc does not accept paid reviews, paid placements, or sponsored articles that pretend to be editorial. If we ever publish sponsored content, it will be labelled as sponsored at the top of the page, and it will be kept separate from calculators and guides.
5. Your choice
You are never obliged to click an affiliate link or buy anything through one. The calculators and guides are free and complete without them, and the same products are available from the retailer directly.
