About How Dog Care

Welcome to How Dog Care — your trusted home for everything dog-related. Whether you’re a new dog parent trying to understand your puppy’s wild zoomies, or a seasoned pet lover looking for the best food for senior dogs, you’ve found your people.

We’re not here to overwhelm you with jargon. We’re here to walk alongside you as you navigate the fun, messy, joyful, and sometimes confusing world of raising a dog. Our content is written from the heart, with a whole lot of love, real-life experience, and research-backed information.

So, who are we? What makes us different? Let’s take you behind the scenes of How Dog Care.

Our Mission

Helping You Become a Better Dog Parent

Our mission is simple but powerful: to empower dog owners with trustworthy, compassionate, and practical advice. We believe that dog parenting should be joyful, not stressful. So whether you’re training a mischievous pup, caring for an aging companion, or just trying to understand why your dog eats grass (again!), we’re here to help.

We want to make sure every dog has the best life possible—and that starts with YOU. That’s why we’re passionate about giving you the tools, tips, and knowledge to raise your dog with confidence and love.

Trusted, Friendly, and Honest Guidance

There’s no room for misinformation when it comes to your dog’s health and happiness. That’s why all of our content is based on real research, reviewed by professionals, and infused with firsthand experience from dog lovers like you.

We don’t push products just to make a buck. We don’t overwhelm you with endless advice. Instead, we simplify dog care so it fits your real, everyday life.

Because let’s face it: Dogs don’t come with manuals. But we’re doing our best to write one for you.

Who We Are

A Community of Dog Lovers

At our core, How Dog Care isn’t just a blog—it’s a community. We’re a growing pack of dog lovers from around the world, united by our obsession with those four-legged goofballs who steal our hearts (and sometimes our sandwiches).

We come from all walks of life—busy moms, solo adventurers, city-dwellers, and suburban pet parents—but we all share one thing in common: We believe dogs make our lives better, and they deserve the best we can give.

Our readers aren’t just visitors. They’re part of the family.

Writers, Vets, Trainers, and Everyday Pet Parents

Our content is written and reviewed by a diverse team that includes:

Veterinarians who make sure the health information is safe and sound.
Certified trainers who bring the behavioral know-how.
Writers with a passion for pets and a knack for clear, helpful content.
Pet parents who’ve been through it all—from potty training fails to midnight emergency vet runs.

This unique blend ensures that what you read on How Dog Care is both expert-backed and totally relatable.

What We Do

Educational Articles

We publish easy-to-understand articles on everything from nutrition and grooming to anxiety and aggression. These guides are written in plain language (no vet-speak!), so you can actually use the information without a Google dictionary.

Every topic is covered with care, whether it’s how to clip your dog’s nails or how to recognize early signs of illness. We believe knowledge is power—and that power can save lives.

Product Reviews & Recommendations

Let’s be real—there are a lot of dog products out there. Food, treats, collars, shampoos, houses, crates, beds, grooming tables, muzzle, puzzle toys, supplements, nebulizer, … and not all of them are created equal.

We personally test and review products so you don’t waste money on gimmicks. Our reviews are honest, practical, and aimed at giving you peace of mind.

Whether it’s finding the best food for sensitive stomachs or a durable chew toy that can withstand your power chewer, we’ve got your back.

Training Tips & Behavioral Advice

Got a barker? A chewer? A furniture-destroyer? We’ve been there. Our training and behavior content is designed to help you create a better bond with your dog—through patience, positive reinforcement, and real understanding.

We focus on dog psychology, effective communication, and proven techniques so you can raise a happy, well-behaved dog without frustration.

Why We Started How Dog Care

Filling the Gaps in Online Dog Advice

The internet is full of pet advice—but let’s be honest, a lot of it is either outdated, overwhelming, or just plain wrong. We created How Dog Care because we were tired of clicking through confusing pages and ending up more stressed than when we started.

We knew there had to be a better way.

So we started building a site that offers clear, reliable, and compassionate advice in one place—no fluff, no fear-mongering, and no paid hype.

Making Dog Parenting Easier

Dogs are part of the family, but that doesn’t mean caring for them is always easy. Between work, family, and life, dog parents need quick answers, trustworthy resources, and practical tools to make informed decisions.

We aim to be that go-to resource—your dog-loving friend who always has solid advice, a sense of humor, and maybe a few treats in their pocket.

How We Create Content

Real Research, Real Experiences

We take content creation seriously. Every article, guide, review, or tip you read on How Dog Care is rooted in either expert research or real-life experience—often both.

Our team dives deep into veterinary studies, scientific publications, industry data, and pet-care trends to ensure our content is up-to-date and accurate. Then we take all that complex information and break it down into something friendly, engaging, and easy to use.

But we don’t stop there. We also pull from the experiences of real dog parents who’ve been in the trenches—because let’s face it, sometimes the best advice comes from someone who’s cleaned up that midnight accident on the carpet or solved their pup’s chronic ear infections.

Vetted by Experts

We work closely with licensed veterinarians, dog behaviorists, nutritionists, and certified trainers to review our content. This helps us ensure the information we share is not only helpful but safe and science-backed.

We know your dog is family—and we treat them like it when we create content.

Meet the Team

Passionate Pet People Behind the Scenes

Behind every blog post, email newsletter, and social media post is a group of dog-obsessed humans who love what they do.

Our team includes:

Veterinary consultants who help fact-check health-related content
Editors who make sure every word we publish meets our high-quality standards

Each one of us has a story. A dog who changed our lives. A lesson we learned the hard way. A reason to keep sharing what we know.

And we’re all united by one belief: dogs deserve the best care we can give.

What Makes Us Different

We’re Not Just Another Pet Blog

There are thousands of pet blogs out there. So why How Dog Care?

Here’s what sets us apart:

No corporate fluff. We’re independently run and proud of it.
Real-life relatability. We write like real people because we are real people.
Honest reviews. If we don’t like a product, we’ll say so.
Zero judgment. Whether you feed kibble or raw, crate or co-sleep, we meet you where you are.
Always learning. Dogs teach us new things every day, and we pass that on to you.

Human First, Search Engine Second

Let’s be honest—SEO is important. But at the end of the day, we’re not writing for algorithms. We’re writing for you, the dog parent who’s searching late at night, hoping for an answer.

That’s why we aim to be:

Empathetic (because we’ve been there)
Empowering (so you feel confident)
Entertaining (because learning should be fun)

We may be digital, but everything we do is grounded in real-world experience, with real dogs, in real homes—just like yours.

In Memory of Our Dogs

Our Inspiration Behind the Passion

Behind every “how-to” article, every product review, and every heartfelt blog post, there are dogs who inspired it all.

Some of us started writing because we lost a beloved pet and needed a way to honor them. Others launched this journey because of the lessons we learned from that one quirky pup who changed everything.

We want to take a moment to honor the dogs who are no longer with us—but whose paw prints are forever etched on our hearts.

Their love drives our mission. Their loyalty shapes our values. And their memory is what keeps us going.

If you’ve ever loved and lost a dog, you’re not alone. This space is for you, too.

The Story of Lucky: The Inspiration Behind How Dog Care

Meet Lucky – The Heart Behind the Blog

Behind every great dog blog, there’s usually an amazing dog. For How Dog Care, that dog is Lucky.

Lucky is a small, dwarf dog who has been my loyal companion since childhood. He’s not just a pet — he’s my friend, my family, and a significant part of my life’s journey. The story of Lucky began during a stormy night when my mother brought him home to cheer me up after losing my first puppy. That tiny, helpless pup became the heart of our home.

I spent countless nights keeping Lucky warm, comforting him when he cried for his mother. From those early days to now, Lucky has been my constant companion through life’s highs and lows. He’s over 15 years old today, and though I know our time together is precious and limited, I cherish every moment.

Why Lucky Matters to This Blog

Lucky is the reason this blog exists. My love for him inspired me to create a space where others could find support, guidance, and resources to care for their own “Lucky.” Through him, I’ve learned what it means to truly love and care for a dog — lessons I’m now proud to share with you.
