CTA & disclosure notes

 

CTA: "Get your free ASPCA Pet Health Insurance quote." Use assigned tracking link; affiliate disclosure required. Critical accuracy note: ASPCA® is not the insurer — it receives a royalty/licensing fee (NOT a charitable donation). Do not imply buying a policy donates to the ASPCA's mission. Include underwriter + "pre-existing conditions not covered" boilerplate.

 

Fact-check flags: exact underwriter/producer for the promoted offer (US Fire vs Independence American/PTZ); whether a 100% reimbursement tier exists; current Trustpilot score; any active promo code.
