    Good old Google Adsense is the most obvious suggestion and very easy to include on your blog.

    There are some great pet-related CPA offers you can add as well - join the big CPA networks (for example azoogleads.com and any number of others). Or search for "pet CPA offer" or "pet affiliate program" or similar.

    Good luck with the blogging.

    The best option is to find advertisers directly involved in the sphere (VET clinics, pet shops, etc.), you could also try using such services as google adsense or some other affiliate.

    In my experience, google adsense is worth very little unless you have constant high quality traffic. I found that having some affiliate products related to your niche work best. You can also write a review every once in a while and then link to the product at the end.

    I would try testing all of the above and use openx.org to rotate the banners

    Pick a product that is related to your niche and sign up for the google ad sense program. Note, you need lots of traffic to get real result.

    If you are starting out in the world of IM, avoid Adsense. Go right into affiliate marketing, but try avoiding Clickbank, until you gain a bit more experience. I would recommend promoting a physical product from Amazon or Commission Junction for now.

    I would look into either applying Google Adsense to your website, CPA leads, or affiliate links. Adsense is what I would suggest if you are just starting out with websites online.

    Clickbank, CJ, CPA Networks (NeverBlue, Copeac), Pay Per Lead Offers (Always Good)

    Adsense i wouldn't bother with...Do you want to make 50 dollars a month or 50 dollars per sale.

    If i was you, leave adsense out.

    Join adsense or other networks to earn thru clicks & CPM. I will suggest also to join affiliate marketing to promote products regarding your website niche.

    In relation to your blog monetization query, i use the mage system. This, for anyone who is not familiar with it, is a system developed by Greg Jacobs, I say system, i mean software in actual fact that builds blogs on a mass level using expried domains and with up to 100,000 post dated postings as it were. Takes a while to index but its excellent for long tails and monitization with CPA, EPN, Amazon, Adsense. I have started using .info domains as opposed to the expired domains, main reason = more cost effective = more profit and I have found that they tend to do as well as the expired in most cases. The software is not cheap, over 2k, and not easy to master, and its closed now from what I have heard but this is one of my methods. Also, and this is critical, I "sculpt" the front page of my blog so that if a Google human minion drops by for a page inspection I get by it.
