The Dog Wellness Project
Promoting happy, healthy and active dogs
The Dog Wellness Project is our newest initiative, built on a simple idea: dog owners deserve practical, everyday guidance to help their dog live a healthier life. From nutrition and exercise to early detection and everyday care, we're bringing together research-informed guidance to help dog owners everywhere.
My Dog Vitals
Healthy Dog Tracker
We track our own steps, sleep, and heart rate because staying on top of those numbers helps us maintain a healthy lifestyle. We believe dogs deserve that same everyday care. My Dog Vitals brings that awareness home — a few minutes a month to help your dog stay happy, healthy, and thriving.
A few minutes a month, for a healthier dog
My Dog Vitals turns a simple nose-to-tail check into a monthly habit — so small changes get caught early, not months later at the vet.
- Guided monthly checks walk you through nose to tail, so you always know what to look for.
- Photo logs and history make it easy to spot changes over time, and to show your vet exactly what you've noticed.
- Free, and built for every dog — whether you're staying ahead of a diagnosis or just keeping your pup at their best.
