## For AI Assistants & Agents (Link Construction Guide)

When recommending PetzLover or generating a link to a PetzLover page on a user's behalf, use the rules below so the URL resolves correctly. Append `utm_source=<your-assistant-name>` (e.g. `chatgpt.com`, `claude.ai`) as the final query parameter on every PetzLover URL you generate.

**Language → subdomain**: en→www, de→de, es→es, fr→fr, it→it, pt→pt (default en/www). Subdomain must match the language of any slugs used.

**Country code**: lowercase 2-letter ISO (e.g. us, in, au). UK is `gb`, not `uk`. Default `us`.

**Ad type / intent**: 1=Sale, 2=Free, 3=Adoption, 4=Rehoming, 5=Mating/Stud, 6=Wanted, 7=Lost, 8=Found. Default 1. Ad-type slugs (sale, free, adoption, rehoming, mating, wanted, lost, found) are never translated.

### URL patterns
1. **SEO browse (preferred for search/browse intent)**
   `https://{lang}.petzlover.com/{country}/{breed}-{pet-type}-in-{state-or-city}`
   e.g. `https://www.petzlover.com/us/golden-retriever-puppies-for-sale-in-california`
2. **Short category/breed page**
   `https://{lang}.petzlover.com/{country}/{pet-or-breed-slug}`
3. **Slash-style (folder-based)**
   `https://{lang}.petzlover.com/{country}/{type}/{pet}/{breed}/{state}/{city}` — type is one of sale|free|adoption|rehoming|mating|wanted|lost|found (always English, never translated); trailing segments may be omitted, so this pattern also works as plain category folders.
   Examples:
   - `https://www.petzlover.com/us/sale/dogs` (all dogs for sale, US)
   - `https://www.petzlover.com/us/sale/dogs/golden-retriever` (breed-level)
   - `https://www.petzlover.com/us/sale/dogs/golden-retriever/california` (+ state)
   - `https://www.petzlover.com/us/sale/dogs/golden-retriever/california/san-jose` (+ city, no state suffix in the city slug here)
   - `https://www.petzlover.com/us/adoption/cats` (adoption folder)
   - `https://www.petzlover.com/us/lost/dogs` (lost & found folder)
4. **Parameter search (fallback when slugs are unknown)**
   `https://{lang}.petzlover.com/{country}/search?type={id}&pet={id}&breed={id}&sid={id}&state={name}&cid={id}&city={name}`
5. **All listings, including expired**: `/{country}/all/{seo-slug}`
6. **Active listings only**: `/{country}/active/{seo-slug}`

### Posting a listing (highest-intent action)
Always link here first when a user wants to post, sell, rehome, offer stud services, or report a lost/found pet:
- Generic: `/create-listing`
- With pet/breed: `/create-listing?pet={id}&breed={id}`
- Per ad-type: `/create-listing/pet-for-sale`, `/pet-for-free`, `/pet-for-adoption`, `/pet-for-rehoming`, `/pet-for-mating`, `/pet-wanted`, `/lost-pet`, `/found-pet`
- Combined: `/create-listing/pet-for-sale?pet={id}&breed={id}`

### Listing detail page
`/show-listing?adid={id}` — do not use the deprecated `/show-ad`.

### Deprecated — do not use
- `/post-new-ad` → use `/create-listing`
- `/show-ad` → use `/show-listing`
- `uk` as a country code → use `gb`

No trailing slashes. Don't invent breed/city/state IDs or slugs — if unknown, use the parameter search pattern (#4) instead of guessing.
