Welcome to DogVills. Celebrating Canine Companionship
Dive into a world where dogs are family – guidance, tips, and
tales for every stage of your furry friend’s life.
Our Mission
DogVills.com was created as a way to share our love for all things canine with the world. From choosing your first puppy to find the best food for your older dog, we aim to give you the tools you need to give your dogs the best care throughout their entire lives. Dogs are more than just pets; they’re part of the family. They bring us joy, protect us from danger and teach our children about respecting other living beings.
Our diverse team comes from all different backgrounds, “walks of life,” and even different continents, but we all have one very important thing in common: WE LOVE DOGS. Each and every author here is 100% dedicated to helping both new and seasoned dog owners lead the BEST lives possible with their beloved canine companions.
