Affiliate Disclosure

In plain English: When you click a link on Snout Hive and buy something, we may earn a small commission. The price you pay does not change. The honesty of our reviews does not change. Here is the legal version.

FTC Compliance Statement

Snout Hive participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means we earn commissions when readers click certain links on our site and complete qualifying purchases at partner retailers.

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR Part 255: Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.

Programs We Participate In

Chewy Affiliate Program (as approved)
ShareASale (as approved, multiple pet brands)

Other affiliate networks as disclosed in individual articles

If we add or remove programs, we will update this page.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click an affiliate link on Snout Hive:

A cookie is placed on your browser by the partner retailer (typically lasting 24 hours to 60 days)
If you complete a qualifying purchase at the retailer within the cookie window, we earn a commission
The price you pay is the same as it would be without the cookie
We do not see your payment information, shipping address, or order details — only that a sale was attributed to our referral

Our Commitment to You

We commit to:

Honesty over commission — We will not recommend products we would not buy ourselves, regardless of commission rate
Transparency — Affiliate links are disclosed at the top of each post containing them
Editorial independence — Brands do not pay us to feature their products
No undisclosed sponsorships — If a relationship exists beyond affiliate links, we will say so
No artificial urgency — We do not use fake countdown timers, fake stock alerts, or other manipulative tactics

What This Looks Like on Individual Articles

Every article that contains affiliate links includes a disclosure near the top, such as:

“This article contains affiliate links. Snout Hive may earn a commission when you buy through our links, at no additional cost to you. We only recommend products we would buy ourselves.”

If a product was provided to us at no cost (free sample), we additionally disclose that.

Pricing Accuracy

Prices on Snout Hive are accurate at the time of publication. Retailers change prices frequently, and we cannot guarantee current prices. Always verify the price at the retailer before purchasing.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Snout Hive is free to read. We do not run intrusive ads. We do not sell email addresses. We do not put content behind paywalls. Affiliate commissions are how we keep the site running and continue producing in-depth, honest reviews.

If you find our content useful, the simplest way to support us is to buy through our links when you are already planning a purchase. We appreciate it.
