<h1>Dog Gear Designed by a Vet: Why Woopf Isn’t Just Another Pet Brand</h1>

<p>In a world flooded with trendy pet accessories, flashy prints, and influencer-endorsed products, it can be hard to know what actually works—and what’s just marketing. That’s exactly why I created <a href="https://woopf.com" target="_blank">Woopf</a>.</p>

<p>I’m Dr. Duncan Houston, a practicing veterinarian, emergency vet, and founder of Woopf. After treating thousands of dogs injured or stressed by poor-quality gear, I decided to build products that are truly functional, clinically safe, and built from the inside out—with a dog’s health, not Instagram, in mind.</p>

<p>Here’s why Woopf gear is different—and why more vets, trainers, shelters, and dog parents are switching to a brand they can actually trust.</p>

<h2>🧠 Designed by a Vet, Not a Factory</h2>

<p>Most pet gear is designed by factories or marketers with no veterinary knowledge. Woopf gear is different:</p>

<ul>
  <li>✅ Built based on clinical experience—what causes injury, anxiety, or behavioral regression</li>
  <li>✅ Adjusted and tested on real dogs in rescue, rehab, and everyday homes</li>
  <li>✅ Designed with anatomy, safety, and comfort as the first priority—not an afterthought</li>
</ul>

<h2>🔬 Every Product Solves a Real Problem</h2>

<p>Woopf gear isn’t just stylish—it’s purposeful. Here’s how:</p>
