Advertising & Blog Policies

ADVERTISING, SPONSORSHIP & PR OPPORTUNITIES

Legal Disclaimer:
Amy Shojai’s Bling, Bitches & Blood Blog accepts affiliate advertising, select sponsors and, occasionally, will feature a sponsored post, all of which will clearly be disclosed. It is the policy of this blog to include a NO-FOLLOW code in any product link in compensated posts. Here’s what that means and why. If a review product is supplied at no charge, that will be disclosed in the review. However, sending free product does NOT guarantee a review–or a positive or negative mention–and all reviews and sponsored posts will be the honest opinion of Amy Shojai. Guest posts are rarely accepted, and will be disclosed as such. Generally a guest post is by by invitation only.

Every pet is different, and the Internet cannot diagnose or treat problems best left to a veterinarian able to see the animal in person.
