About Loadline

Loadline publishes practical, evidence-first guides for dog owners. We cover load management and joint health for working and sporting dogs, recovery science and gut health for active dogs, reading supplement and food labels for performance dogs and feature Boops Pets products where they genuinely fit.

How we work

Articles are written or reviewed by the veterinarian named on the page, such as Adriana Alfonso Castro (Resident, Critical Care). Published marks the first publication, medically reviewed records the veterinarian's approval, and updated marks a substantive correction when one exists. Sources are listed in the references section of each article.

How we cover the category

We compare products on specific attributes — ingredient form, amount per serving, external laboratory testing, certifications, availability, and fit for the use case — and we name trade-offs honestly, including when another brand is the better pick.
