Round-Up of Stories About Dog Health and Behavior (Nominated for DWAA awards!)
by Christy Caplan
|
December 7, 2018 I’m a writer for Wide Open Pets (WOP)! I haven’t announced this formally but I wanted to shout it from the rooftops since so much of the content I write for WOP benefits all those folks that read any Wag and Cluck posts. Chicken tips included!
I also freelance for many publications including Animal Wellness Magazine. My latest piece is about acupuncture for senior dogs if that’s something you’re considering for your dog!
Three stories I wrote in 2018 were nominated for the Dog Writer’s Association of America (DWAA) special award categories! I’ve included the other writers under each award as well in case you want to read these as I’m honored my name is next to these wonderful writers.
The stories were published in Pet Sitting World Magazine, Rover.com and Wide Open Pets. I hope this information is helpful if you’re dealing with any of these issues.
Sherm always looks like the “sad hound” but these two seniors are my inspiration!
