Dog Gear That Grows With Your Pup – Vet-Designed Solutions for Every Life Stage

<h1>Dog Gear That Grows With Your Pup – Vet-Designed Solutions for Every Life Stage</h1>

<p>From wobbly little puppy steps to confident adult adventures, your dog’s body—and behavior—changes constantly. But most gear doesn’t change with them. That’s why so many pet owners end up with piles of collars, harnesses, and leads that don’t fit anymore or never worked to begin with.</p>

<p>I’m Dr. Duncan Houston, veterinarian and founder of <a href="https://woopf.com" target="_blank">Woopf</a>, and I designed every Woopf product to adapt, support, and protect your dog across every life stage—from puppyhood to senior years.</p>

<p>Here’s how our gear evolves with your dog—so you can stop wasting money, avoid injury, and walk through life confidently together.</p>

<h2>🐶 The Puppy Phase (8 weeks – 6 months)</h2>

<ul>
  <li>🍼 Rapid body changes = frequent size adjustments needed</li>
  <li>🧠 Early behavioral training = need for redirection tools</li>
  <li>💥 High energy = sudden pulling, stopping, and unpredictability</li>
</ul>

<h3>Woopf Solutions:</h3>

<h2>🧑🦱 The Adolescent Phase (6–18 months)</h2>

<ul>
  <li>🎯 Behavior testing boundaries: pulling, lunging, ignoring cues</li>
  <li>💪 Increased strength and drive</li>
  <li>😤 Risk of reactivity or leash frustration begins to show</li>
</ul>

<ul>
  <li>📏 Full-body strength & size stabilized</li>
  <li>🧘♂️ Opportunity to focus on endurance, recall, and off-leash training</li>

<h2>👴 Senior Dogs (7+ years)</h2>
