This page discloses the material relationships and content practices used on Doggie General (doggiegeneral.com) in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and the requirements of the Google Publisher Policies.
1. Affiliate Relationships
Doggie General participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that some links on this site may be affiliate links — if you click a link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
We are a participant in the Brain Training 4 Dogs affiliate program. This program is operated by Adrienne Farricelli, CPDT-KA, and offers force-free, science-backed dog training courses. When we recommend Brain Training 4 Dogs, it is because we believe in the product — but you should know we may earn a commission if you purchase through our links.
Our editorial opinions are our own. Affiliate relationships do not influence which products we recommend or what we write about them. We only recommend products we believe are genuinely useful to dog owners.
2. AI-Generated Content Disclosure
Doggie General uses artificial intelligence in two ways:
Interactive tools: Our nine free tools (Dog Symptom Checker, Dog Toxicity Calculator, Dog Feeding Calculator, Breed Selector Quiz, Dog Behavior Analysis, Dog Bark Decoder, Dog Personality Test, Daily Dog Brain Game, and Daily Dog Exercise Planner) are powered by Google’s Gemini AI via the Vertex AI API. These tools generate personalized responses based on the information you enter. The outputs are AI-generated and intended for educational guidance only — they are not veterinary advice.
Editorial content: Some articles on Doggie General are researched or drafted with AI assistance and reviewed by our editorial team before publication. Where AI has materially contributed to an article, this is noted in the author byline. All content is subject to editorial review for accuracy and appropriateness before publication.
AI-generated content is not a substitute for professional veterinary or behavioral advice. Always consult a licensed veterinarian for diagnosis or treatment decisions.
3. Advertising
Doggie General displays advertising through Google AdSense and may display other third-party advertisements. Advertisers have no editorial influence over our content. Advertisements are clearly distinguishable from editorial content.
4. Sponsored Content
If we publish sponsored content or paid partnerships in the future, these will be clearly labeled as “Sponsored” at the top of the post. We do not currently publish paid editorial placements.
5. Product Reviews
Where we review or recommend products, those recommendations reflect our honest editorial assessment. We may have received products for review, or may earn affiliate commissions on purchases. Both situations are disclosed within the relevant content.
6. No Veterinary Relationship
Doggie General is an informational website. Nothing on this site creates a veterinarian-client-patient relationship. The information provided — whether written by our editorial team or generated by our AI tools — is educational only and does not constitute veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
