Meet the Editor
Jess Calloway
Editor, Pawliqa
I’m a dog mom to three very different dogs, and I write every guide from years of living with, training, and grooming them. I test what I publish, and every guide is reviewed for accuracy and image clarity before it goes live. This is editorial guidance from real experience, not veterinary advice — anything about your dog’s health goes to your vet.
Our standards
How Pawliqa guides are made
Image-led
Every step is shown with a real photo, so you can see what good looks like, not just read about it.
Reviewed for accuracy
Each guide is checked for clarity, correctness and image accuracy before it publishes.
Honest and disclosed
Your experience comes first, written from real dog ownership, and any affiliate links are clearly disclosed.
Good to know
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I start on Pawliqa?
Start with the guides above. If grooming turns into a wrestling match, begin with the guide on brushing a dog that hates it. If your dog is restless or wild at home, the guide on how much exercise your dog needs helps you find the right amount. Bringing home a puppy? The calm, day-by-day crate training guide is the place to begin.
Who writes Pawliqa?
Jess Calloway edits and writes every guide. Jess is a dog mom to three very different dogs and writes from years of living with, training, and caring for them, with a focus on practical help for everyday dog owners.
How often do new guides go live?
New guides publish regularly. 73 in-depth, image-led dog guides are live right now, covering grooming, everyday care and exercise, training, and new-owner help, with more on the way.
Is the advice on Pawliqa veterinary advice?
No. Pawliqa shares general dog care, grooming, and training guidance from an editorial perspective, not medical advice, and we do not diagnose health problems. Anything that touches your dog’s health, behavior, or symptoms is a talk-to-your-vet situation.
Can I save these to Pinterest?
Yes. Every guide has a vertical Pinterest pin you can save, and the images are built to look great on a Pinterest board. Follow @Pawliqa on Pinterest to see new pins as guides publish.
