Meet Poppy — The Dog Behind the Site

My Mutt Life started with one simple idea: dog owners deserve honest, practical advice — not sponsored nonsense. Inspired by Poppy, our 9-year-old black Labrador, everything we write comes from real experience and genuine research. She's our chief product tester, our motivational paw-ker, and the face behind everything we do.
