Why Every Dog Parent Should Subscribe to Dogs & Pups Magazine

Being a dog parent comes with a lot of questions.

Why is my dog suddenly scratching so much?
Is this behaviour normal?
How often should I groom my dog?
What should I feed them?
How do I train my puppy?
And, of course, the classic: “Why is my dog doing this?”

If you’re a pet parent, chances are you’ve searched for answers to at least a few of these questions online.

There is certainly no shortage of pet content today. But when it comes to something as important as our pets’ health, behaviour and wellbeing, having access to reliable, thoughtful and relevant information matters.

That’s where Dogs & Pups Magazine comes in.

A bi-monthly magazine dedicated to people who love dogs and cats, Dogs & Pups has been around since 2004 and has spent more than two decades promoting responsible pet parenting. Its content covers everything from health and training to grooming, breed profiles, welfare and everyday life with our four-legged companions.

Here are a few reasons why we think it deserves a place in every dog-loving home.

1. Because being a pet parent is a learning journey

We all want to be the best pet parents we can be. But loving our dogs is only one part of the journey. Understanding them is equally important. Dogs & Pups brings together information across different aspects of pet parenting—health, training, grooming, behaviour, parenting and welfare.

And that matters because our dogs can't tell us exactly what they need. We have to learn to notice the small things: a change in appetite, a different behaviour, excessive scratching, discomfort, anxiety or simply a change in their routine.

The more we know, the better equipped we are to care for them.

2. Because the internet has a lot of advice. Not all of it is good advice.

A quick Google search can give you hundreds of answers. Social media can give you thousands more. But pet parenting isn't something where we should necessarily follow the first tip that appears on our screen.

Dogs & Pups focuses on bringing together information around responsible pet parenting. It gives pet parents a space to learn, rather than simply scroll.

3. Because there is more to dogs than cute pictures

We love a cute dog picture as much as anyone. But dogs are so much more than their adorable faces and Instagram-worthy moments. They have individual personalities, emotional needs, physical needs and changing requirements at different stages of life.

Dogs & Pups explores these different dimensions. Recent content, for instance, has covered topics ranging from heatstroke prevention and monsoon shedding to veterinary care, dog breeds, pet nutrition and the relationship between children and pets.

It makes the magazine useful not just for someone bringing home their first puppy, but for pet parents continuing to learn as their dogs grow older.

4. Because Indian pet parents need Indian pet stories

Pet parenting isn't exactly the same everywhere. The weather we deal with, the breeds we see, the availability of veterinary care, our living environments, our relationship with community animals and even the way families include pets in their lives can be uniquely Indian. That's why having a pet publication that is rooted in India is valuable.

The magazine also features stories from India's veterinary, welfare and pet-care ecosystem, giving readers a window into the people and organisations shaping the country's pet world.

5. Because responsible pet parenting goes beyond your own dog

One of the things we particularly appreciate about Dogs & Pups is that the conversation isn't limited to products, breeds or pet trends. Welfare is also part of the conversation.

From stories around animal rescue and care to discussions about responsible pet parenting, the magazine recognises the larger world that our pets are part of. Its current editorial sections include a dedicated Welfare category alongside health, training, grooming and parenting. And we believe that truly matters.

6. Because sometimes, you want to sit down and actually read

There is something lovely about a magazine. No algorithm deciding what you should see next. No fifteen-second video trying to explain a complicated topic. No scrolling through ten contradictory opinions. Just a collection of stories and information that you can return to when you have the time.

Dogs & Pups is published bi-monthly, and its website also provides access to its digital magazine and an extensive archive of past issues. So you can read about dogs today—and still go back and discover something you missed a few issues ago.

7. Because our dogs deserve informed pet parents

At For The Fur Kids, we believe that pets are family.

And being family means more than buying them treats, toys or the cutest bandana we can find.

It means understanding them.

It means knowing when something isn't quite right.

It means learning how to care for them at every stage of their lives.

It means making informed choices.

And sometimes, it means admitting that we don't know something and taking the time to learn.

That's why resources like Dogs & Pups matter.

For more than two decades, the magazine has been creating content around responsible pet parenting and celebrating the bond between people and their animal companions.

Because the more we learn, the better pet parents we become.

And our dogs deserve nothing less.
