About Dog Digest Notes
Dog Digest Notes is a small, free library about one thing: dog digestion - the upsets, the food changes, and knowing when to call the vet. It's written for ordinary dog households - clear steps, no jargon, no miracle promises - and it's made by the team behind PawLine, a research-based dog and cat Q&A app. PawLine app, patent pending.
How the guides are written
Each guide starts from the questions people actually ask, then gets built from established veterinary sources, linked below. We keep wording neutral, name the source when a claim matters, and avoid invented statistics. These guides are general information, not veterinary advice - your vet knows your dog.
