FOR THE LOVE OF DOGS
Since 2008, Island Dog Magazine has published quarterly in February, May, August and November. Our distribution of 20,000 reaches more than 40,000 Island Dog owners—pet parents who seek out our magazine at select Safeway, Don Quixote, Times and Longs stores, as well as from veterinarians, pet retailers, pet care people, training and service professionals, and other dog-loving establishments.
Island Dog can also be found in the permanent collection of the Hawaii/Pacific section at the main Hawaii State Library and at the University of Hawaii-Manoa Library.
Our distribution channels are robust and we have a very low return rate of less than 2%, guaranteeing that Island Dog Magazine is read by A LOT of local dog owners.
TAIL-WAGGING GOODNESS
Our friendly digest-size publication is highly sought after and has high residual value. Many of our loyal readers collect Island Dog. The most often heard response about our magazine is that people “read it from cover to cover.” Besides all the great information and fun, readers look forward to seeing interesting products in advertisements and our Gifts & Sniffs spreads. They get involved by sharing photos of their dogs in our popular Da Kine Canine Photo Gallery. Hard to resist and always amusing.

Dog owners are committed to their pet’s health, diet, shelter, exercise and play. They need to buy the products and services that make this commitment possible. And they are growing in numbers. Oahu is home to over 200,000 dogs in more than 40% of Oahu’s households! Island Dog Magazine will be there to help guide dog parents’ choices with timely articles that are sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, but always informative and building a sense of community. And always with lots of pictures of local people with their dogs.
