Editorial Integrity & Promotional Materials:
​
At Just Add Bark & Bond, our commitment to editorial integrity is paramount. While we enthusiastically support the events and services beneficial to our community of dog lovers, we maintain a policy of authenticity in our visual content. To this end, we refrain from using marketing advertisements or promotional images as the main feature image of our interviews and stories. This practice ensures that our readers receive genuine, editorially-driven content that aligns with our mission to inform and inspire, without the influence of external marketing.
Promotional materials provided by interviewees or event organizers may be included within the body of an article to enhance the reader's understanding of the topic or event. However, the selection and placement of such materials will be at the discretion of Just Add Bark & Bond, ensuring that our editorial standards are upheld.
