A blog site offering sound pet advice, product reviews, and interesting tidbits about dogs.
Back in October, I launched a mobile version of the OpulentPet.com website for our readers to enjoy on mobile devices. While the service has been wonderful, I received negative feedback on having to install a third-party app to bookmark the mobile version of the site. With that, I searched for alternatives and found a [...]
Update 11/24/11: I have moved from using a third-party app to host my mobile version to a responsive mobile theme that requires no application installations to view. To learn more, read my latest article here. I’m always looking for additional ways to keep in touch with our readers to suit their needs or preferences. [...]
Okay folks, I’m piping up again because I’ve got something to say about a topic near and dear to my heart – food. I love food. Let’s face it, what dog doesn’t? Wet food, dry food, treat food….it all gets equal treatment in my book! Well, my mom took us all to the vet this past Saturday [...]
I recently received a helpful list of property laws explaining how ownership of an item takes place in the dog kingdom. As the alpha dog of the OP Pack, I decided it would be in everyone’s best interest for me to share this list with you. We hope it will help settle (or prevent) [...]

Okay, I know I’m a bit shy, but since I am officially the Editor at Large, I figured I better pipe up and post my two cents about our mission. As a pet owner who is passionate about proper dog care, my adopted ‘mom’ established OpulentPet.com in order to gather and interpret research about dogs, [...]
Did you know it snows in Texas? No, I don’t mean north Texas. I mean in the Austin area? I’m a native Texan and this surprises me. I know I’m only 5, and it did happen once before (when I was a pup) – but this makes two years in a row now! It all [...]
A recently conducted eight-week survey (sponsored by the American Kennel Club and Cat Fanciers Association) showed dogs are the pet of choice (Anonymous, 2009). Out of the 9,000 votes cast during the survey, dogs easily won the poll fetching 65 percent, compared to the 35 percent in favor of our feline counterparts (“Results revealed,” 2009). [...]
From time to time, you will see us highlight various charitable organizations in The Little Dog Blog, that are committed to humane animal welfare. The OP Staff also rotates banner links for these organizations under the “Spotlight on Pet Advocacy” section of our home page. It’s our way of encouraging others to donate to these [...]
