Effective Date: 27 August 2025
At The Pet Intelligence Network™, our priority is to provide reliable, unbiased, and scientifically supported information about pets, their health, and overall well-being. To maintain the free accessibility of our platform and support our mission, we may display advertisements, sponsored placements, or affiliate links.
This Advertising Policy explains how we handle advertising, maintain editorial independence, and protect the trust of our readers.
1. Our Editorial Integrity
- All content published by The Pet Intelligence Network™ is created, reviewed, and approved independently by our editorial team.
- Advertisers, sponsors, and commercial partners do not have the ability to influence our editorial content, research, or recommendations.
- Any product reviews, comparisons, or expert advice presented on this website are based solely on research and professional opinion, not on advertising relationships.
2. Separation of Editorial and Advertising
To avoid confusion, we maintain a strict distinction between advertising and editorial content:
- Articles, blogs, guides, and expert-written content are editorial material.
- Sponsored content, promotional features, or partner-driven posts will always be clearly identified.
- Visual cues such as labels, borders, or disclosure tags (“Advertisement,” “Sponsored,” “Promoted”) will be used to mark advertising clearly.
3. Types of Advertising We May Display
We may accept different forms of advertising, including but not limited to:
- Banner Ads – placed on various sections of our website.
- Sponsored Content – articles or guides provided by third parties, always labeled as “Sponsored.”
- Affiliate Links – links to third-party websites where we may earn a commission at no extra cost to the user.
- Email & Newsletter Promotions – clearly labeled marketing communications delivered to subscribers.
4. Advertising Standards
We only allow advertising that complies with our standards of quality, safety, and honesty:
- Ads must not be false, misleading, or make unverified health claims about pets.
- Ads must respect pet welfare, veterinary ethics, and consumer protection laws.
- We will not accept advertising that promotes:
- Animal cruelty, neglect, or unsafe products.
- Illegal activities or harmful substances.
- Discrimination, hate speech, or offensive material.
5. No Endorsement Guarantee
- The presence of an advertisement, sponsor message, or affiliate link on The Pet Intelligence Network™ does not mean we endorse the advertiser, their products, or their services.
- Endorsement will only occur if explicitly stated within a dedicated partnership announcement.
6. Affiliate Disclosure
The Pet Intelligence Network™ may participate in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn commissions when you purchase products through links on our website.
- These links will be disclosed as affiliate links.
- Our editorial content is never influenced by affiliate partnerships.
If a company sponsors an article, video, or resource:
- It will be clearly marked as “Sponsored Content.”
- Such content may provide useful information, but it is distinct from editorial articles.
- Sponsored content does not represent medical or professional advice unless reviewed by a qualified expert.
8. Our Right to Refuse or Remove Ads
We reserve the right to:
- Reject any advertisement that we believe is inappropriate or harmful.
- Remove ads without prior notice if they are later found to violate our standards.
- Make final decisions on the placement, style, and frequency of advertising.
9. Reader Trust Comes First
We exist to serve pet owners, not advertisers. For this reason:
- We do not allow advertisers to preview or edit editorial content.
- We do not sell preferential treatment in reviews or rankings.
- Transparency and trust remain at the heart of our advertising practices.
