In short: The Nomad Paws is free to read and carries no ads, and the only money it makes comes from links to Amazon, which pay a small commission when someone buys through them and cost you nothing extra.
How the site pays its way
Every guide here takes hours of reading airline pages, government rules, food labels and vet studies, and the site doesn’t show ads, so the occasional link to a carrier, crate or food on Amazon is what keeps that work going.
We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
What it means for you
If you click one of those links and buy something, Amazon pays us a small commission, and the price you pay is exactly the same as it would have been without the link.
Amazon is the only affiliate program the site belongs to, and you’ll find a short note at the end of every guide that contains these links, so you always know when one is there.
How we choose what to recommend
Most of our guides are research comparisons built from official and brand sources, and they say so at the end, while the handful of gear reviews that were tested by hand say that too.
A commission never decides what makes the list, and the full method, including how AI helps with the research, is on how we make our guides.
