When it comes to dog care, the daily practices that keep your dog healthy, safe, and happy. Also known as pet wellness, it includes everything from what your dog sleeps on to how they’re fed, trained, and protected from everyday risks. October 2025 brought a clear focus on the small details that make a big difference—like whether your dog’s bed is the right size, if their peanut butter is safe, or if leaving them in the car even for a minute could be dangerous.
Dog bed size, the ideal dimensions that support your dog’s body and joints. Also known as pet sleeping space, it’s not just about comfort—it affects their long-term health. Too small, and they can’t stretch. Too big, and they feel insecure. That’s why guides this month stressed measuring your dog from nose to tail and adding a few extra inches. Meanwhile, dog nutrition, the balance of food and supplements your dog needs daily. Also known as canine diet, it was a hot topic with deep dives into peanut butter brands, coconut oil vs fish oil, and why Blue Buffalo and Purina aren’t equally good for every dog. The message? Read labels. Avoid xylitol. And don’t assume ‘natural’ means safe. And then there’s dog training, the methods used to teach your dog good behavior. Also known as canine behavior modification, this month’s posts questioned the use of e-collars, showed how groomers keep dogs calm, and explained why your dog follows you to the bathroom—turns out, it’s not just clinginess, it’s instinct. Finally, pet safety, the actions that prevent harm to your dog in daily life. Also known as animal protection, it covered car heat risks, crate safety for puppies, and even whether it’s okay to cuddle your pup on the couch. These aren’t hypotheticals—they’re real choices you make every day.
