Brooke Callaghan is a Gold Coast local who fell headfirst into the world of dogs after bringing home her first overly energetic pup a few years back. What started as a simple search for a decent lead and a comfy bed quickly turned into an ongoing obsession with finding gear that actually holds up to daily walks, beach runs, and the occasional muddy disaster. Since then, Brooke has spent a lot of time trying out different pet products, from harnesses and collars to travel gear and everyday essentials. She’s learnt the hard way what works and what doesn’t — especially when it comes to durability, comfort, and keeping things practical for real life, not just how they look online. Her weekends are usually split between dog-friendly cafés, coastal walks, and chatting with other dog owners about what’s worth buying. She writes for PupSwag to help other dog owners cut through the noise and find products that genuinely make life easier. Her focus is on honest, experience-based insights so readers can feel confident choosing gear that suits both them and their dogs.
