Otterpine is paws-itively delighted to announce the release of The Essential Dog Owner’s Guide by sibling duo Evan and M. Reed Milnor. This simple yet informative guide is a one-stop shop for new and experienced dog owners alike, covering everything from daily caretaking to long-term planning.
All of us here at Otterpine love dogs, and some of us are devoted dog parents. Needless to say, we were ecstatic when Evan and Reed approached us to help them produce their book and public platform from start to finish. Our shared passion for dogs made the editorial and design process delightful, and we had a ball extending this energy into the creation of a custom bookmark and website.

Dogs are deeply ingrained in Evan and Reed’s lives. Beyond being dog dads, the sibling duo take care of dogs professionally. Evan is the owner of a St. Louis-based dog training company, while Reed is currently in the doctorate program at the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine.
Soon after Evan and his wife adopted a three-year-old Siberian Husky-Samoyed mix named Ullr, he realized that there were many elements of dog care that he wished he had known prior to adoption. The two brothers came together to distill their personal and professional dog knowledge into this useful guide with the help of a panel of esteemed canine experts.

This indispensable book serves as a concise, easy-to-read reference, equipping first-time and experienced dog owners alike to become well-informed and responsible dog parents. For soon-to-be dog parents, this book aids the dog selection process by providing helpful insights about breeds, deciding whether to adopt or buy, how to find a reputable breeder, and then how to establish the best practices for dog-proofing the house and selecting accessories.
With expert advice about medical issues, diet, exercise, grooming, training, and more, this book has everything dog owners could need to care for their furry family member through their lifetime.
The Essential Dog Owner’s Guide is available in paperback and E-Book on Amazon and the authors’ website, essentialdogownersguide.com.
