About Pup Culture Club

Pup Culture Club is a newsletter about dogs and modern life, with a close eye on what’s changing right now.

I cover emerging trends across the dog world, including food, wellness, toys, services, and care standards, as well as the brands and ideas reshaping how people care for their dogs. Alongside industry shifts, I write about newsworthy stories that reveal how dogs fit into our lives today, from policy and cultural changes to the evolving ways we define family, caregiving, and responsibility.

You’ll also find coverage of dog-friendly travel done right. Not just places that allow dogs, but restaurants with real dog menus, hotels that genuinely accommodate dogs, airlines worth flying, and practical guidance on traveling well with them.

Through trend analysis, reported pieces, and interviews with founders, operators, and leaders across pet, hospitality, and lifestyle spaces, Pup Culture Club treats dogs as both companions and a meaningful force in modern culture.

If your dog influences how you live, travel, spend, and make decisions — and you want thoughtful, current coverage that takes dogs seriously — you’ll feel at home here.

I’m Jaime, a corporate journalist working at the intersection of media, technology, and culture. I’ve spent my career studying how emerging industries evolve and how people actually live within them. I write Pup Culture Club as both a dog owner and a close observer of the systems shaping modern life with dogs.
