Welcome Dog Lovers! Canine Journal® is your go-to resource on all things dog. From health concerns and food to pet insurance and dog resorts, we are here for you and your favorite furry friends.
As dog owners ourselves, we understand that the day to day expenses can add up and the cost of pet insurance is one that may appear unnecessary at first. Much like our health insurance, however, pet insurance is there when the moment comes that you need to fall back on the financial support an insurance plan can offer. And if you don’t have the plan already in place, you will likely find yourself in a tight spot…
Figo is consistently among the middle of the pack price-wise for pet insurance providers based on reader feedback and our own test quotes. But does it offer similar coverage as some of the more costly pet insurance companies? Will Figo cover accidents and illnesses for your pet during an emergency?…
Healthy Paws is committed to helping homeless pets — so much so, they’ve donated over $1 million in grants to more than 300 nonprofit organizations. But is Healthy Paws worthy of insuring your beloved pet? How does its coverage, service and cost compare to other top pet insurance companies?
Figo and Healthy Paws are two of the most commonly discussed pet insurance providers, and we put them head to head to choose a clear winner. While both companies offer thorough coverage, there’s a difference in their reputation and often price. Find out why we rank one better than the other…
Jake loves moving around, and that jangle from his collar and ID tag keeps you up at night, so you decide to remove it. You take him on his walk the next morning and forget to put his name tag back on. No big deal, you’ve forgotten a hundred times. However, this time, Jake spots a rabbit and pulls hard enough to break free from your grasp. He’s on the loose, and the worst has happened, he’s out of your sight. Not only is your best friend lost, but he’s also tagless. If someone does find him, they won’t know how to get him back to you. That’s why it’s important for our dogs to always have their ID tags on them…
Is your dog scared of fireworks? She’s not alone! Although fireworks are a fun, exciting sight for us humans, for dogs they’re typically the opposite. The unexpected, loud noise can often create stress and anxiety for your dog. Before the fireworks are lit, be sure to understand what your dog is experiencing…
Does your dog like to explore the vehicle while driving down the road? Your pup probably starts out in the back seat, then meanders to the front seat with you (making sure to whack you in the face with their tail), then wanders to the back and continues this pattern until you reach your destination…
This can be dangerous you and other drivers on the road because you could get distracted by your dog. We know your dog doesn’t mean any harm, they’re just so excited to be on the road with you. So we recommend using a dog barrier for your car…
It can be scary for dog owners when they notice something isn’t right with their furry friends. If your dog has diarrhea and an upset stomach, whipworms might be to blame. It’s vital to understand all the basics of this common parasite so you can keep your dog safe…
Most dogs are motivated to do anything if the right food is placed in front of them. Whether you’re trying to train your dog or you just want to treat them for doing a good job on the walk, we’ve got the treats for you…

We put together all our favorite dog holidays in one handy place to reference (so you and your pup can plan accordingly). Here is your ultimate go-to guide to all the holidays this year and beyond…
K9s For Warriors is a Florida-based assistance dog nonprofit. They rescue dogs from shelters across the United States and pair them with disabled veterans.
