Affiliate Links and Commission
Affiliate Marketing Practices
KirklandDogFood.com participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These affiliate links help support our website and enable us to continue producing high-quality content for our readers.
Product Recommendations
Our product recommendations are based on thorough research, user feedback, and our own experiences. The inclusion of affiliate links does not influence our opinions or the content we provide. We prioritize the needs of our readers and strive to recommend only those products that we genuinely believe will benefit your dog’s health and well-being.
Transparency in Affiliate Relationships
Whenever an affiliate link is used within our content, we make sure to disclose this fact clearly.

Our goal is to be as transparent as possible, ensuring that our readers are aware of any potential financial incentive we may have.
Sponsored Content
What is Sponsored Content?
From time to time, KirklandDogFood.com may feature sponsored content. Sponsored content is when a brand or company compensates us to create content that highlights their product or service. We only accept sponsored opportunities from brands that align with our values and the interests of our readers.
Disclosure of Sponsored Content
Whenever a post is sponsored, we clearly label it as such. This might include a disclaimer at the top of the article, a note within the content itself, or both. We believe it is essential for our readers to know when we have been compensated to write about a product or service. However, even when content is sponsored, we maintain full editorial control, ensuring that our opinions remain unbiased and truthful.
Editorial Integrity
Despite the compensation received from sponsored content, our editorial integrity remains uncompromised. We are committed to providing honest reviews and feedback, regardless of any financial relationship. If we do not believe in a product or service, we will not feature it on our site, even if it means turning down a sponsorship opportunity.
