Terms of Use

Last updated September 28, 2026

By using Cool People Have Dogs (coolpeoplehavedogs.com), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Educational content, not professional advice

Everything here is general, educational information about life with dogs — it's not a substitute for advice from a licensed veterinarian, trainer, or other qualified professional who can actually examine your dog. Always talk to your vet about anything related to your dog's health, diet, or behavior, especially if something feels urgent.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links — if you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only link to products we'd genuinely recommend. See our full disclosure for more.

Intellectual property

The articles, photos, and design on this site belong to Cool People Have Dogs unless otherwise noted. You're welcome to link to our pages or quote a short excerpt with credit and a link back, but please don't republish whole articles or use our content commercially without asking first.

Acceptable use

Please don't use this site to do anything unlawful, scrape or copy the site at scale, try to break or overload it, or interfere with anyone else's ability to use it.

Links to other sites

We link out to retailers, organizations, and other resources for your convenience. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices — that includes the retailers behind our affiliate links.

No warranties

We do our best to keep articles accurate and up to date (see our editorial standards), but the site is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We're not liable for any decisions made, or outcomes with your dog, based on something you read here.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site evolves. The "last updated" date at the top will always reflect the current version — continued use of the site after a change means you accept the update.
