DogOwnerHQ
About

Research you can trust, from people who read the studies so you don't have to.

DogOwnerHQ exists to turn scattered veterinary research, breed-club standards, and behavior science into guidance a first-time — or fifth-time — dog owner can actually use.

Every guide starts with a source, not an opinion.

Most dog care advice online is either recycled from other blogs or written from personal anecdote alone. We built DogOwnerHQ to do the slower, less glamorous work instead: reading AKC breed standards, veterinary publications, and peer-reviewed behavior research, then translating what we find into guidance that's actually usable on a Tuesday evening with a chewed-up shoe in hand.

How we research and publish

Every article on DogOwnerHQ follows the same process before it goes live — and gets revisited as new information becomes available.

01 — Research

We start with primary sources: AKC breed standards, veterinary literature, and published behavior studies.

02 — Verify

Claims are cross-checked against at least two independent sources before they're written down.

03 — Review

Where relevant, guides are checked for accuracy by a veterinary or training professional before publishing.

04 — Update

Articles are revisited as breed standards, research, or best practices change over time.

Faris Sofyan writes about dog breeds, puppy care, and canine behavior for DogOwnerHQ. His approach centers on translating veterinary and breed-club research — including AKC breed standards, peer-reviewed behavior studies, and veterinary health resources — into practical guidance for everyday dog owners. Every guide is fact-checked against primary sources before publication, and updated as new research or breed information becomes available.

Our editorial standards

Primary sources first

We prioritize AKC breed standards, veterinary publications, and peer-reviewed research over secondary blog content.

Fact-checked before publishing

Every claim is checked against at least one authoritative source before an article goes live.

Reviewed where it matters

Health and behavior content is reviewed by qualified professionals whenever the subject calls for it.

Kept up to date

Guides are revisited over time — breed research and best practices aren't static, and neither is our content.
