Discover Whole Dog Journal

It’s the brash and trusted monthly that thousands of dog owners swear by and
dozens of dog food makers swear at!

Whole Dog Journal is independently owned and operated. All our content is independently researched and is completely unbiased. That means we can name names not just when it comes to dog foods, but when it comes to any of the toys, tools, and products you buy as a dog owner. You’ll appreciate this candor whether you’re shopping for a soft-sided crate or a hard-to-beat safe and steady water dish.

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.

I switched Duke to one of your picks, and in just months I've noticed a much healthier dog.
