Hey there, fellow puppy lover! Before you snuggle up with our articles and let the puppy cuteness wash over you, here’s a little story—and some straight talk—to keep things clear and honest between us.
A Little Background
When I was eight years old, I begged my parents for a puppy named Scout. I stayed up late researching how to train her, accidentally taught her to “shake” when I really meant “sit,” and learned more life lessons from that goofy, tail-wagging ball of energy than any school lesson taught me. That’s when I realized: puppy parenting is an adventure full of surprises, and every mistake teaches you something new.
Fast forward a few decades, and I’m still the same wide-eyed puppy enthusiast—just with more gray hairs and a bigger collection of chew-toy prototypes. That’s why I created PupRush.com: to share every joyful, messy, heartwarming moment and the know-how that comes with it.
Not a Vet, Just a Lover
I’ve cared for countless puppies—helping them conquer crate anxiety, nail their first “down,” and transform into confident, tail-wagging adults. But I’m not a veterinarian. If your pup is under the weather, injured, or you’re worried something’s off, please call your vet before anything else. Blogs are fun, but professional care is best when it truly matters.
How I Choose Products
Every squeaky toy recommendation and coziest crate review on PupRush.com comes from firsthand tests, deep dives into expert research, or both.
- I’ve tugged on chew toys until they squeaked for mercy.
- I’ve napped next to crates (yes, really) to find the comfiest option.
- I’ve chatted with canine nutritionists about the supplement rainbows they swear by.
Some links here are affiliate links (Amazon, Chewy, and others). If you click through and buy, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Your support helps me keep the blog running and my own pups well-fed.
Story Meets Science
Every tip has a tale behind it—and often, a pile of scribbled notes from research articles. You’ll find “what worked for me” sprinkled with facts and expert insights. It’s like sitting down with a good friend over coffee (or puppy treats) and swapping stories.
Your Pup Is Unique
Just like every puppy has its own quirks—Scout hated baths but loved belly rubs—your pup’s needs might differ. Use these tips as a roadmap, not a rulebook. Adapt what you learn here to fit your furry friend’s personality, health, and lifestyle.
Linking Out
Sometimes I’ll point you to other websites for deeper dives or to snag that perfect harness. I trust those sources—but remember, I don’t control their content or policies. Always check their privacy info before sharing your data.
Your Privacy Matters
At PupRush Media LLC, I guard your email and personal details like they were the last dog biscuit on the shelf. I never share your info with third parties. For the fine print, peek at our Privacy Policy.
Life Changes, So Does This Disclaimer
As my pups grow (and I learn new tricks!), this disclaimer may get a refresh. Whenever it does, I’ll update the date at the top, so you know you’re reading the latest version.
Thanks for being part of the PupRush family. Here’s to many more wet noses, happy barks, and muddy paws shared together! 🐾
