Family Dog accepts stories from freelancers and pays $300 – $500 for feature stories of 1,000  – 3,000 words. Family Dog bills itself as a lifestyle magazine for people who consider their dog a part of the family and consider their dog's health, happiness, and well-being a priority.

The magaine includes how-to articles and inspiring and entertaining stories about our canine pals. Both how-to's, and feature articles should be written in an engaging and reader-friendly format.
