Hi, I’m Robby, the founder and writer behind The Dog Today.
I started this site in 4 years because I kept running into the same problem as a dog owner. When my dog Cooper got into something he shouldn’t have, or started scratching his ears nonstop, the answers I found online were either too vague to act on or too technical to understand. The Dog Today is the site I wished I’d had: clear, practical answers to the everyday questions dog owners actually search for.
What We Cover
The Dog Today focuses only on dogs, across three areas:
- Diseases: common health problems, warning signs, and when a trip to the vet can’t wait
- Food & Diet: what dogs can and can’t eat, toxic foods and plants, and healthy feeding habits
- Behavior & Training: why dogs do what they do, and how to handle problem behavior
How We Write Our Articles
I’m a dog owner, not a veterinarian. That shapes how I write:
- Health and nutrition articles are based on published guidance from veterinary sources, such as the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), the ASPCA and veterinary school resources, and I link to them where it helps.
- Where it’s relevant, I share what I’ve learned firsthand from living with dogs.
- When a situation needs a vet, I say so clearly. No article on this site replaces professional veterinary care. Please read our Disclaimer.
- Older articles are reviewed and updated. If you spot an error, I genuinely want to know.
