Despite the potential for compensation, Small Pets HQ always prioritizes the safety and well-being of pets. The website never recommends products or resources that are deemed unsafe or unethical.
Even when paid to review products, the website’s team ensures that their reviews are objective and focused on the interests of their readers. They always disclose any potential issues or drawbacks to a product, regardless of whether they receive compensation for the review.
Small Pets HQ understands that generating revenue is an important part of any business, but they are committed to ensuring that their profits are never earned at the expense of the pets they serve.
