Why Another Website About Dog Stuff?

This site was created to complement the many websites about dogs that exist today.

The aim is to provide a place where dog owners can...

...share opinions and personal experiences regarding a wide variety of dog products

...read fun stories and interesting tips that will save pet owners time and money in the long run

...get feedback from others who own dogs and who have tried similar (or different) things in the past

Who We Are...

I'm Lynnette. I'm the one researching and writing most of the copy for this web site.

While I'm not veterinarian, I am a dog lover who happens to have a lot of experience raising dogs -- from puppies to senior dogs.

Professionally, I've worked for a vet. And I am also a member of the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).

But most of what I've learned has been hands-on... over the course of many years spent raising dogs -- from puppies through adulthood.

You'll notice Jim (husband and fellow dog lover) in many of the photos on this site, along with our dogs:

My Experience With Dogs

  I've raised a total of 10 dogs in my lifetime...

 

• The first one, "Fluffy", more or less raised me. He was a German Shephard that my parents got when my brother and I were tiny tots. "Fluffy" grew to a ripe old age with us.

 




• Once I was able to take responsibility for a dog (around the age of 9), I acquired a beagle puppy named "Tippy". After that, came a mate for Tippy named "Peaches le Creme" (followed by a series of beagle pups including two that we kept: "Scar" and "Susie").

 



 

• On my own in college, I chose an American Eskimo ("Kayak") and a Siberian Husky ("Kody") to get me through grad school.

 

 



 

• Married (without children) we are currently enjoying life to the fullest with a Black Lab/Golden Retriever mix ("Destin"), a Great Pyrenees/Black Lab mix ("Tenor"), and...until recently, another American Eskimo ("Jersey").

My relationship with each of these dogs began when they were just puppies (...even our "rescue dog", Destin, which we found in a dumpster at about 7 weeks of age).

  I've worked at a vet... where I helped care for the dogs and cats admitted into the Animal Hospital for routine check-ups, major and minor health ailments, as well as routine spays, neutering, teeth cleaning, declawing, and such.

  I've also worked at a zoo... in part, to fulfill my desire to further work with animals in some capacity.

  In addition to being an active member of the ASPCA, I've been a dog-walker, a pet-sitter, and a lifelong dog owner.

To this day, I remain most passionate about caring for dogs and nurturing little puppies into adulthood. I am especially fond of puppyhood because every day is a benchmark, a milestone... and every single product and behavior that you introduce will inevitably shape your puppy's life for the long-term, while at the same time, strengthen your lifelong relationship together.
