For people whose dog is family
Start with the thing almost every owner gets wrong: how old your dog actually is. Not the seven-year myth — the size-adjusted curve vets use.
What matters most changes completely depending on where they are.
The primary socialization window closes at 14 to 16 weeks — usually right when the vet says it's finally safe to go out. What happens in those weeks shapes the next decade.
Puppy guide → Adult · 1–7 yearsKeeping a dog lean is the single biggest lever on lifespan there is. In the most-cited study, the lean dogs lived about two years longer than their own littermates. Two years, from portion size.
Feeding & weight guide → Senior · 7+ yearsLarge breeds cross into senior around seven, not ten — years before the dog acts like it. It's the point where twice-yearly vet visits stop being optional, and most owners find out late.

Next upEvery app you already have is built around the human. MyFurKid is built around the dog — their birthday, their life stage, what their body needs this year rather than last year.
No feed to keep up with, nothing to post. You tell us about them once, and we make sure the days that matter don't slip past you.
