Yes, the site is called Maine Coon Guides — and yes, we publish dog content. Our Dogs section is one of the fastest-growing parts of the site, because a large share of our readers own both. If you write about dogs with real knowledge behind it, this is an open invitation.
What you get out of it
The dog niche is crowded with “write for us” pages on sites nobody reads. Here’s what makes this one different, measured by third-party tools:
- Moz DA 46 / Ahrefs DR 31 — genuine, earned authority with 295+ referring domains and no paid links
- 5,100+ organic visits a month and 3,900 ranking keywords (Semrush), with traffic up 26% month over month
- Cited by AI search engines: 455 citations in Google AI Overviews across 44 pages, plus references in ChatGPT, Copilot, and Grok (Ahrefs Brand Radar). Semrush independently tracks 123 of our pages as AI-cited. Your article doesn’t just rank — it becomes source material for AI answers.
- An audience that overlaps your topic: 81.6% US readers, mostly multi-pet households researching health, food, insurance, and travel decisions
Dog topics we want
- Breed guides and comparisons — temperament, exercise needs, which breeds actually coexist well with cats
- Training and behavior — recall, leash reactivity, crate training, dog-cat introductions (a favorite with our readers)
- Health — preventive care, joint issues, senior dogs, when a symptom is an emergency. Cite your sources.
- Food and nutrition — ingredient breakdowns, feeding large vs. small breeds, honest reviews from real use
- Insurance and costs — real claim experiences, plan comparisons, the true cost of ownership
- Travel with dogs — airline policies, road trips, hotels, international moves
- First-person stories — rescue, rehab, life in a dog-and-cat household. Specific and honest, not saccharine.
Ground rules
- 1,200–2,500 words, original, and not published anywhere else — including your own blog
- Written from experience or expertise; medical and behavioral claims backed by studies, vets, or certified trainers
- Clear subheadings, short paragraphs, and advice a reader can actually use the same day
- Author bio of 2–3 sentences; one relevant link to your site or work is welcome
Automatic rejections: AI-generated or spun text, product advertorials, off-niche topics, and drafts stuffed with links. We check everything for originality.
