The best Pets newsletters

Humorist Dave Barry's weekly Substack of comic essays on everyday American life, such as election mailers, Halloween costumes and dogs. Readers get absurdist, self-deprecating jokes and running gags in his signature style.

Personal essays and pep talks aimed at creative people, mixing anecdotes about making art, live drawing sessions and pets. Readers get reflective, humorous stories about creative failure, play and keeping art as a low-pressure companion.

Our Brew is a Philippine newsletter that mixes pet and lifestyle explainers with long-form cultural features and Social Weather Stations poll coverage. Readers get a mix of accessible science-based pet advice, reported profiles of Filipino artists and activists, and survey-based political analysis.

Floyd Times is a local news and community newsletter covering Floyd County, Virginia, including library initiatives, food insecurity efforts, pet adoptions and local obituaries. Readers get practical community information and local reporting on what is happening around the county.

A personal newsletter from a creative strategist and photographer sharing life updates, from leaving corporate work to travel and family stories about adopting dogs. Readers get warm, first-person storytelling with food and travel recommendations.

A pet newsletter covering species-appropriate nutrition and care, with articles on dog breeds, behavior, and animal technology plus short heartwarming pet stories. Issues pair a story-at-a-glance summary with a fuller explainer, and some are reprints of older articles.

Long-form explainer guides on parenting and household topics, including pet nutrition, pre-K readiness and eligibility, and fitting downtime into a busy family routine. The writing offers general practical guidance rather than a personal dad perspective.
