Affiliate Disclosure

Paths & Paws is reader-supported. Transparency is our core value, and we want you to understand exactly how we are funded.

How It Works

When you click on links to various merchants on this site and make a purchase, this can result in this site earning a commission. Affiliate programs and affiliations include, but are not limited to, the eBay Partner Network and the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.

Amazon Associates Disclosure

Paths & Paws 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.

Does This Affect Our Reviews?

Absolutely not.

• No Pay-to-Play: Manufacturers cannot pay for a better ranking.
• Blind Testing: Our testers often don't know the retail price or affiliate status of a product during the field test phase.
• We Buy Gear: Much of the gear we review is purchased at retail price to ensure we get the same unit you would.

Why We Use Affiliates

Running a high-quality review site requires resources—buying gear, paying testers, hosting fees, and photography. Affiliate commissions allow us to remain independent and avoid intrusive banner ads or paid sponsorships that compromise integrity.
