Our Mission
Our mission is to give large dog owners the honest, experience-driven information they can't find anywhere else. Too much advice online is generic or written by people who've never lived with a dog Todd's size — so we focus on what actually works: real behavior insights, practical care strategies, and the everyday realities of raising a big, intelligent dog.
Our Vision
Our vision is for ToddTheBigDog.com to become the trusted go-to resource for large dog owners everywhere — a place where size isn't treated as an afterthought, but as central to how a dog thinks, feels, and needs to be raised. As our community grows, we want to keep building a space where big dog owners feel seen, supported, and equipped with real answers, not generic advice.
How We Started
ToddTheBigDog.com started simply — sharing everyday moments with our big, goofy dog online because friends and family couldn't get enough of him. As those posts grew, we kept noticing the same thing: most dog content out there just didn't reflect what it's actually like to raise a large breed. So what began as a fun outlet turned into something bigger — a real resource built from firsthand experience.
Today, ToddTheBigDog.com has grown into a full content hub across our blog and social channels, with a growing community of large-dog owners looking for the same honest, practical information we wished we'd had when we started.
What We Stand For
These core values guide everything we do.
Community
This site exists for people who understand what it's like to live with a big dog. We're here to help owners feel seen, supported, and never alone in the journey.
Purpose
We believe big dogs need more than space — they need structure, engagement, and to be treated as active, thinking members of the family.
Authenticity
We share real experiences, not staged perfection. Todd's story — the good, the messy, and everything in between — is what makes this content trustworthy.
Collaboration
We believe the best solutions come from diverse perspectives working together toward a common goal.
Accuracy
Every piece of information is researched and vetted before it's shared. When it comes to your dog's health and safety, we don't guess.
Inclusivity
We work with products and foster a culture that welcomes everyone, regardless of background or experience.
Want to work with Todd?
We're selective about the brands we partner with. Every company we work with is vetted for legitimacy, and any food or treats we feature use real, quality ingredients — nothing with fillers, harmful additives, or ingredients known to be unsafe for dogs. The same goes for toys: we look at materials and durability before recommending anything to our audience. If a product doesn't meet that bar, we don't feature it — plain and simple.
