About Pets Dig This Now

Welcome to Pets Dig This Now — a blog dedicated to helping pet parents make informed, compassionate, and holistic choices for their dogs.

Our Mission

Our goal is to provide reliable, science-supported, and easy-to-understand information about canine health, nutrition, and wellness. We believe every dog deserves the best quality of life, and that starts with knowledge.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Educational articles on dog health, nutrition, and behavior

  • Tips for understanding ingredients, food labels, and feeding philosophies
  • Discussions on emerging trends and scientific research

Our Philosophy

We believe in a holistic approach to pet care — one that combines science, compassion, and practicality. While veterinary care is essential, we also emphasize the importance of prevention, proper nutrition, and emotional well-being for dogs.

Why Trust Us?

All of our content is thoroughly researched and cited from reputable sources including veterinary studies, animal nutrition experts, and official pet health organizations. We strive to make complex topics simple and approachable, so you feel confident in the choices you make for your pet.

This blog was started as a passion project. The goal was to provide everyone with the same access to information that was available when I was working locally in store. I wanted everyone who visited me with their questions to still be able to have access to the answers they were seeking.

Important Note

Pets Dig This Now does not provide veterinary advice. Our content is for informational purposes only. Always consult your veterinarian regarding your pet’s specific health needs.

The problem? Most of us aren’t feeding entire prey animals. Even if you’re sourcing great ingredients, chances are you’re missing a few thi...

Understanding these seasonal shifts can help you keep your pup at a healthy weight year-round. A brisk winter walk can help your dog maintain a healthy weight. 🐾 Why Dogs May Gain Weight in Winter Less activity: Cold weather and shorter days often mean fewer walks, shorter playtimes, and less overall movement.
