What This Page Covers
This page explains how affiliate relationships work on Goldendoodle Report, what they mean for you as a reader, and how they do and do not influence the content published on this site.
Affiliate Links — What They Are
Some pages on Goldendoodle Report contain affiliate links. An affiliate link is a tracked URL that identifies Goldendoodle Report as the source of a referral to a third-party website.
When you click an affiliate link on this site and make a purchase, Goldendoodle Report may earn a small commission from the retailer or brand involved. This commission comes at no additional cost to you — the price you pay is identical to what you would pay visiting that retailer directly.
Why Affiliate Links Exist on This Site
Goldendoodle Report is an independent research site. It has no institutional funding, no sponsorship from pet food brands, and no advertising agreements with groomers, breeders, or product manufacturers.
The affiliate commissions generated through this site fund the time, tools, and resources required to research, write, and maintain over 500 guides to the standard this site is committed to. Without that income, the level of research depth this site provides would not be sustainable.
Affiliate income is how this site remains free for every Goldendoodle owner who reads it.
What Affiliate Relationships Do Not Do
Affiliate relationships do not determine what products are mentioned on this site. They do not determine what is recommended, what is criticised, or what is left out entirely.
No brand, retailer, or manufacturer pays to have their product featured, reviewed positively, or ranked above a competitor on this site. No content on Goldendoodle Report is sponsored, ghost-written by a brand, or produced in exchange for free products.
If a product is mentioned on this site it is because it is genuinely relevant to the topic being covered — not because an affiliate relationship exists or because a commission is available.
Our Standard for Product References
King James Adjei applies the same research standard to product references that he applies to every other claim on this site. A product is referenced when it meets one or more of the following criteria:
It is specifically recommended by veterinary professionals or certified groomers in the context of Goldendoodle care. It represents a category of tool or supply that owners genuinely need and would otherwise struggle to identify. It has a documented track record of performance in Goldendoodle owner communities and no significant pattern of reported harm or failure.
Products that do not meet this standard are not referenced regardless of whether an affiliate programme exists.
FTC Disclosure Compliance
In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, Goldendoodle Report discloses all material connections between this site and any third-party brands or retailers whose products are linked or referenced.
This disclaimer page constitutes that disclosure. Individual pages containing affiliate links may also carry a short inline disclosure note.
Questions About This Policy

We are happy to clarify any aspect of how affiliate relationships work on this site.
