Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated July 31, 2026. Plain language, because this page should be readable.

Australian Shepherd Essentials (australianshepherdessentials.com) participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click certain links on this site and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Programs we participate in

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. We may also participate in affiliate programs operated by Chewy, pet product brands, and other retailers relevant to Australian Shepherd owners. Links to these retailers are marked with rel=”sponsored” in accordance with Google’s guidelines.

How commissions affect our content (they don’t)

Commissions never determine rankings or recommendations on this site. Products labeled Kai-tested were purchased with our own money and used with our own dog. Products labeled Researched are ranked from ingredient analysis, specifications, veterinary and breeder sources, not from commission rates. No brand pays for placement, and no ranking on this site is sponsored.

Material connection

In accordance with the FTC’s 16 CFR Part 255, assume that any link to a retailer on this site is an affiliate link from which we may earn a commission.
