Questions
Do you pay for posts, or charge to publish them?
No, neither. Posts are published because they're useful to pet owners. We don't sell links and we don't trade them.
Will the link to my site be followed?
Yes, the link in your byline is a normal link. Links inside the post go only where they help the reader.
Can I write about my product or service?
Write advice owners can use whether or not they buy from you. Your business goes in your bio.
Can I post the same article on my own blog?
Please don't: it should be new. You're welcome to share a short summary that links to it.
