If Your Dog Could Talk, What Would He Say?

“Um, not crazy about that food you give me all the time. What else you got?”

“Time to take me for a walk at the dog park!”

“Keep scratching me… yes, right there… behind the ears…”

The walking part is easy, the scratching even easier. The food? Not so much. It’s a jungle out there in pet stores: There are more dog food formulas than there are days in the year, it seems. That’s where Whole Dog Journal comes in.

In our popular publication and companion website, you’ll find all the care and feeding guidance you’ll need. Whole Dog Journal is a fully dog-focused, reader-friendly monthly guide crammed with canine information you can use—information related not only to dog food and diet plans but to your pooch’s overall health. Think of Whole Dog Journal as the dog owner’s best friend.

Clearing Up Confusion

In a perfect world, your role as dog caretaker would be a breeze. Instead, confusion reigns, starting with the choice of food. Generations of dog owners bought and served the same food to their dogs on a regular basis. They adhered to the myth that when you find a brand Fido likes, you stick with it… permanently.


Today, dog experts recommend the opposite approach: Change up your dog’s food periodically. The major benefit: It provides him with varying levels of vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients, keeping him healthier for the long haul.


But which foods out there in the pet food jungle are trustworthy… healthy for your dog… packed with the nutrition needed for a long and high-quality life? Whole Dog Journal spells it out for you with honest assessments—and we do it without interference. Our publication does not accept advertising, so we’re brutally honest. The right food, after all, plays a major role in your dog’s health.

Wait (As They Say)—There’s More!

Whole Dog Journal covers far more than just diet and nutrition. You’ll find a wide-ranging selection of articles that answer these questions and more:


Should you or shouldn’t you…

  • Bathe your dog every week?
  • Crate-train your dog?
  • Brush your dog’s teeth?
  • Vaccinate your dog against Lyme disease… and leptospirosis… and Bordetella?

Do you or don’t you…

  • Understand your dog’s vocal and body-language cues?
  • Seat-belt your dog when in the car?
  • Give your dog enough exercise?
  • Know how to handle eye and ear infections?
  • Understand the needs of an aging dog—and how to make him or her comfortable?

You’ll find authoritative information on the toughest topics, too—canine cancer… glaucoma… arthritis… kidney disease… liver failure. They’re not pleasant subjects, but as your dog’s caretaker, you realize it’s better to know about them—and how to identify and treat them—than to be in the dark.


Yes, there’s a lot to know when it comes to dogs. We’re here to help you keep your pooch healthy and happy. It’s our promise that Whole Dog Journal will give you a newfound level of comfort in your dog caretaking.
