The past year has been unlike any other, to say the least. Many dog owners took inspiration from the COVID-19 pandemic and names their dogs Fauci and Dr. Fauci! Names Covi, Rona, and Corona were always used throughout 2020.
Dog owners love naming their pups after TV characters, celebrities, and celebrity babies. Chrissy, Kanye, Mila, and Jay-Z were widely popular dog names in 2020 and leading into 2021. Blake and Gwen were two other popular names, named of course after celebrity couple Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani.
TV show Friends continues to have a huge influence in pop culture and dog naming trends. Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey remain popular names for four-legged family members.
Human names remain exceptionally popular. Just take a look at the top 10 male and female dog names!
Dog names based on comforting sweets and baked goods took off in 2020 and remain widely popular in 2021. We're seeing tons of fun carb-inspired foodie names like Waffles, Wheatie, Croissant, and Toast.

Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) is a diagnosis that all dog owners dread. We (Mike and Steph) unfortunately saw our long-haired dachshund Django go through IVDD surgery earlier this year after suffering a serious back injury.
The path to recovery after an IVDD diagnosis is never easy. Dogs with IVDD always need strict crate rest, and many also need complicated and expensive back surgery like our dog Django. While recovering, your dog's movement must be restricted to a crate or pen, and he or she may not be able to walk without support. Your pup may also experience incontinence for several weeks and need help going to the bathroom via bladder expression. In other words, the recovery process can be difficult and daunting for us loving dog parents.
Fortunately, there are dog products on the market that help make your dog's IVDD journey and recovery easier. Here are 10 products that we found helpful and essential throughout Django's IVDD recovery.

The popularity of raw dog food has exploded in recent years. More than ever, experienced dog owners are showing preference for the biologically appropriate, minimally processed, and nutrition-dense dog food. Many point to the health benefits of the diet. To name just a few, raw-fed dogs often have smaller and firmer stools, healthier skin and coats, better digestion, and fewer allergy symptoms.
We've always been incredibly picky when it comes to Django's diet. We only feed our hairy little sausage dog high quality and often organic foods. We tend to favor fresh dog foods and never hesitate to top his dinner bowl with wild alaskan salmon, boiled organic chicken, half an egg, or even fresh organic strawberries (his personal favorite!).
Recently, we decided to try We Feed Raw. This company is one of the more reputable ones in the raw dog food industry. It cuts out mystery ingredients and unpronounceable additives and replaces them with easily digestible, human-grade meat. Unlike other dog food brands whose recipes have endless and often unrecognizable ingredients, you can easily count and identify all We Feed Raw recipe components.
Here is an honest and in-depth review of We Feed Raw dog food. All opinions expressed are solely our own and are based on our personal experience feeding We Feed Raw to Django.
