Affiliate Disclosure

Effective date: November 2026

How this site makes money

Laika’s World is reader-supported. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. That means if you click a link and buy something, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or not.

Commissions help cover the cost of running the site. They never cost you anything extra, and they do not influence what we recommend.

Who we are affiliated with

We participate in the following affiliate programs:

• Amazon Associates — the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
• Chewy — the Chewy affiliate program (through the Impact network).
• Petco — the Petco affiliate program.
• Other pet retailers and brands — we may also earn commissions through affiliate links to other pet supply retailers, manufacturers, and brands, including through affiliate networks such as ShareASale, Awin, and AvantLink.

This list may change as we add or remove affiliate relationships. This page will be updated when it does.

What this means for you

• When you click an affiliate link, the retailer may place a cookie on your device so it can tell that the visit came from Laika’s World. If you buy something during the cookie period, we may earn a commission on that purchase.
• We do not see your name, address, or payment information when you buy through an affiliate link. The retailer handles your order and your personal information under its own privacy policy.
• We may earn a commission even if you buy a different product than the one we linked to, as long as you buy it during the retailer’s cookie period.

Our recommendations are our own

We choose the products we write about because we think they are worth considering — not because of the commission. Affiliate relationships do not affect our opinions, our reviews, or which products we include in a roundup. If we think a product is not a good fit, we say so. We do not accept payment in exchange for a positive review.

We have not necessarily tested every product we link to. Some recommendations are based on research, specifications, and reader feedback rather than hands-on use. We say so in the post when that is the case.

AI-assisted content

Some articles on this site are drafted with the help of artificial intelligence tools and then reviewed, edited, and fact-checked by a human before publication. Any product recommendation on this site is the author’s own opinion, whether or not AI tools were used in drafting the article.

Where to find disclosures on the site

A short affiliate disclosure appears at the top of every post that contains affiliate links, before the first link. This page is the full disclosure, and it is linked from the footer of every page on the site.
