About ByBreed

I’m Brandon. I teach engineering technology to middle schoolers on the South Shore of Massachusetts, and I share my house with Milo, a Cavapoo who has opinions about everything, especially dinner.

ByBreed started with a simple frustration. When I went looking for the right food and gear for Milo, almost every “best dog food” list was written as if every dog were the same dog. A Cavapoo isn’t a Golden Retriever. A Dachshund’s spine, a Pug’s airway and a German Shepherd’s hips aren’t footnotes. They’re the whole decision.

What makes this site different

Every guide here starts with the breed, not the product. Size, coat, energy level and the health problems a breed is known for decide what’s on the list. If a recommendation would read the same for any breed, it doesn’t belong here.

How I research

• I start with the breed’s known health risks, using veterinary and breed-club sources, and work backward to what actually helps.
• I read ingredient panels, sizing charts and return complaints, not just the marketing copy.
• When a popular product has real downsides (price, missing nutrients, a fit problem for a body type), I say so, even if it costs me a sale.

What I’m not

I’m not a veterinarian, and nothing on this site replaces one. Health articles explain what owners should know and watch for. If your dog has symptoms, call your vet.

How the site is funded

ByBreed is reader-supported. Some links earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That never decides what makes a list. The full details are on the affiliate disclosure page.
