First, a note to you, dear readers:

I value you and your pets more than you could imagine. I love that we have this vibrant community of pet lovers. I hope, now that we’ve gotten to know each other, you realize I’m not someone who would ever trade the soul of this site for a fee. Yet, with the amount of time and energy devoted here and to all the associated entities around the web, the reality is that I have to earn an income from it. I truly hope you know that I will always be genuine. Products and services I recommend are all products that my little testers, Cooper, Newt, and Ripley, have actually used. I would never recommend something that I haven’t tried first-hand. I will let you know if something was purchased by me or sent to me to test, and I will never, ever write a positive review about something just because I was paid to review it. I will always be completely transparent, and if you ever have any questions about anything that appears here, please don’t hesitate to email me at info {at} ohmydogblog {dot} com!

Thank you for being here and for sharing your pets’ lives with this community!

Are you a pet, family, or lifestyle brand? Here are a handful of ways we can work together:

• Reviews and giveaways: This one requires some detail. Brands are responsible for costs of shipping a non-returnable sample for us to try. In addition, product reviews are – without exception – paired with a reader giveaway. Shipping costs associated with sending the giveaway are also covered by the brand. Giveaways repay readers for their engagement with a brand. My reviews are always genuine, though I won’t write a bad review. If we dislike something, I can’t assume everyone will dislike that same something. Therefore, sending a product sample doesn’t obligate me to write a review.
• Sponsored posts: I create custom content to connect your brand with your ideal audience. For every sponsored post, I build a custom offering based around your project’s scope and budget. OMD! readers are your customers. However, this blog is my own little baby, and I love, adore, and value the wonderful people who read it every day, so I’m picky about these partnerships. The best place to start is with a pitch email.
• Sponsorships and spokesperson: Closed for 2018. Some availability for 2019. Email me at info {at} ohmydogblog {dot} com with your details.
• Advertising: Closed for 2018.
• Do you have an idea beyond this simple list? The best place to start is with a pitch email.

Regarding guest posts or contributed content: Please don’t pitch guest posts or contributions. I only run a few a year, and they’re usually as an exchange for contributing to another site or by invitation. I’ve gotten so many poorly-written submissions with links embedded throughout that, unfortunately, I just don’t have time to sort through the pitches to figure out what’s good. Please feel free to connect in the comments or via social channels because I’m more likely to be open to a contribution from someone I know. I appreciate your understanding.
