Very Well Dog helps dog owners make confident, informed decisions about their dogs’ health, safety, comfort, training, and everyday care.
We publish practical guides, product reviews, buying advice, and educational resources covering dog toys, beds, crates, harnesses, leashes, grooming tools, enrichment products, nutrition, canine behavior, and pet safety.
Who We Are
Very Well Dog was created for people who want reliable, practical, and easy-to-understand information about caring for dogs. Our goal is to help new and experienced dog owners choose suitable products, recognize important safety considerations, and create healthier and happier lives for their companions.
Our content combines veterinary experience, animal-care knowledge, canine behavior education, product research, and real-world testing. We focus on information that dog owners can apply in everyday life, whether they are bringing home a new puppy, caring for a senior dog, managing anxiety, or choosing equipment for an active family pet.
Meet Victoria Brooks
Victoria Brooks is the CEO and lead animal-care professional behind Very Well Dog. Her journey began as a veterinary assistant, giving her early hands-on experience with animal handling, care routines, hygiene, safety, and communication with pet owners.
Since graduating in 2008, Victoria has developed practical knowledge in canine behavior, animal care, pet safety, nutrition basics, product evaluation, grooming, enrichment, and everyday dog ownership. She brings this experience into the research and review process used by Very Well Dog.
Victoria’s approach is straightforward: dog owners deserve information that is understandable, responsible, and useful in real homes. She aims to help readers avoid unsuitable purchases, identify potential risks, and select products that match a dog’s size, age, temperament, activity level, and individual needs.
“Better information helps dog owners make better decisions, and better decisions lead to safer, happier lives for dogs.”
Victoria Brooks, CEO

How We Review Products
We research product specifications, materials, design, safety considerations, customer feedback, intended use, and suitability for different types of dogs. Where possible, we also use real-world testing to assess comfort, durability, ease of cleaning, usability, and performance.
No single product is perfect for every dog. A toy that works well for a small, gentle chewer may not be appropriate for a large, powerful chewer. Our reviews therefore consider factors such as a dog’s size, breed characteristics, age, activity level, chewing habits, health needs, and temperament.
Our content is educational and does not replace individualized advice from a licensed veterinarian or qualified animal-care professional. If your dog is sick, injured, in pain, or showing a sudden change in behavior, contact a veterinarian promptly.
Our Commitment to Dog Welfare
Very Well Dog believes that responsible pet ownership includes supporting dogs who do not yet have safe homes. We dedicate approximately 2.5% of our gross income to helping provide food, housing, care, and support for homeless dogs through care homes and proactive searches for endangered or vulnerable pets.
We believe every dog deserves humane treatment, appropriate care, protection from neglect, and the opportunity to live in a safe and loving environment.
