The fine print, in plain print
Affiliate disclosure
Pawsome Home is a reader-supported site. That means: when you buy through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission — at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is the same either way; the retailer shares a slice with us for sending you their way.
What this means in practice
- Most of our product links go to retailers like Amazon through affiliate programs (including Amazon Associates).
- Commissions keep the site running — research, hosting, and the occasional destroyed couch cover.
- Commissions never determine our recommendations. We rank products by aggregated owner reviews and stated criteria, then link them. Brands cannot pay for placement in our guides.
What this doesn't mean
- We don't see your personal order details — just aggregate referral reports from the affiliate programs.
- We're not the seller. Orders, shipping, and returns are between you and the retailer.
- A product being linked doesn't mean we've physically tested it — our methodology is honest about what we have and haven't done hands-on.
FTC compliance note
In the spirit (and letter) of the FTC's endorsement guidelines: assume every product link on Pawsome Home is an affiliate link unless stated otherwise. We'd rather over-disclose than leave you guessing.
