Privacy Policy & Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated July 2026.

Affiliate disclosure

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Essential Pet Gear is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Some guides also link to products sold directly through our own store; those are not Amazon affiliate links, and any page that contains one says so.

Information we collect

We don't require an account to read this site. If you email us through the contact page, we see whatever you send us (your email address and message) and use it only to reply. Like most sites, we use basic analytics (page views, referring pages, approximate location from IP address) to understand which guides are useful and which aren't. We don't sell personal information.

Cookies

This site uses cookies for basic analytics and, on some pages, to remember that you've seen a specific banner or prompt. Amazon and our own store (hosted on Shopify) set their own cookies once you click through to buy something; those are covered by Amazon's and Shopify's own privacy policies, not this one.

Third-party links

Product links on this site lead to Amazon.com or to our own store, both outside our control. We're not responsible for how those sites handle your data once you leave essentialpetgear.com.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
