We started The Caring Dog Parent because we were tired of Googling "is this normal for my dog" and getting a wall of ads instead of answers.
We're a small team of actual dog parents. We've sat in waiting rooms clutching our phones, panic-searching symptoms at midnight, and spent way too much money on supplements that turned out to be mostly marketing. We wanted something better. So we built it.
What We Do
We publish honest, well-researched articles about dog health, nutrition, wellness, and the real emotional landscape of being someone who cares deeply about their dog. No fluff. No sponsored posts dressed up as editorial. No "top 10 lists" that were clearly written by someone who has never owned a dog.
Every article is written by someone with direct experience. Every health claim links back to research or expert opinion. Every product recommendation comes from actual testing, not the highest affiliate commission.
Meet the Team
Megan Torres
Founder & Editor
Lives with Biscuit, a 10-year-old mutt who still steals socks and takes up 80% of the bed. Started this site after spending $200 on a supplement that did absolutely nothing.
Jake Holloway
Product Reviewer
Former pet industry insider who left to write honest reviews instead of marketing copy. Tests every supplement on his own dogs before recommending it to yours.
The CDP Team
Editorial Team
A handful of dog parents, writers, and researchers who care about getting this right. We write the guides, checklists, and seasonal content.
Our Promise
We will always tell you the truth, even when it's not what you want to hear. We'll never recommend something we wouldn't give our own dogs. And we'll always remind you that no website replaces a professional who actually knows your dog.
If you have questions, ideas, or just want to tell us about your dog (we genuinely love that), drop us a line.
