Frequently Asked Questions – WILDPOOCH
Do all dogs need supplements?
Not all dogs need supplements if they eat a complete and balanced diet. However, dogs with joint issues, sensitive digestion, anxiety, allergies, aging concerns, or high activity levels may benefit from targeted support like omega oils, joint supplements, probiotics, or calming formulas. At WILDPOOCH, we only recommend supplements that are safe, transparent, and backed by real testing.
How often should I groom my dog?
This depends on breed, coat type, and lifestyle. Short-haired dogs may only need brushing once a week and bathing every 4–6 weeks, while long-haired or thick-coated dogs should be brushed several times per week and bathed every 3–4 weeks. Regular grooming helps prevent matting, skin irritation, shedding, and hidden health issues.
Are “natural” dog products actually safer?
Not all “natural” products are safe. The term is sometimes used for marketing purposes. What really matters is the ingredient list. Look for products that are free from parabens, sulfates, artificial fragrances, and harsh chemicals. Natural oils, plant-based formulas, and vet-approved blends tend to be safer for long-term use.
How much exercise does my dog really need?
Every dog is different. Smaller or older dogs may only need 20–30 minutes per day, while high-energy breeds can require 1–2 hours of physical and mental stimulation. Regular walks, play time, training, and enrichment toys are essential to prevent boredom, anxiety, and destructive behavior.
Are subscription boxes like BarkBox worth it?
They can be a fun and convenient option for toys and treats, but value depends on your dog’s size, chewing strength, and preferences. We always recommend checking ingredient quality, toy durability, and brand transparency before purchasing any subscription service.
Can human products be used on dogs?
Most human products (especially shampoos, lotions, essential oils, and medications) are not safe for dogs. Dogs have a different skin pH and are far more sensitive to certain ingredients. Always use products specifically designed and tested for dogs.
How do I choose the right dog food?
WILDPOOCH is built on transparency, testing, and real care. We do not blindly promote products based on trends or sponsorships. Every recommendation is researched, reviewed, and chosen with the same standards we would use for our own dogs.
How often is your content updated?
We regularly review and update all guides, articles, and product recommendations to ensure they reflect the most current research, safety standards, and industry developments.
