Dog knowledge in DOGSY: articles, categories and search
The DOGSY editorial team writes articles about life with a dog – in plain language, without jargon. Here you'll learn how the knowledge section works: how to narrow things down by category, how the instant search works and what you can read without an account.
How it looks in the app
A look at the knowledge section: the list with categories and search field – and an open article.
What is the knowledge section?
Knowledge is the DOGSY article collection: pieces on training, health, behaviour and everyday life with a dog. Every article belongs to one of four categories – behaviour, everyday life, health and training.You'll find the articles at dogsy.ch/wissen and in the app under Discover → Knowledge. It's the same collection: whatever the editorial team publishes appears in both places – on the web and in the app.
What to expect
Articles from the editorial team
Every article comes from the DOGSY editorial team. Only published pieces are visible – you never see drafts.
Four categories
Behaviour, everyday life, health and training. One click on a category shows only its articles, «All» takes you back to the full list.
Search that filters instantly
Type a keyword – the list filters with every letter, no submitting needed. Upper and lower case don't matter, accents don't either, and «barking» also finds «barks».
In your language
If an article exists in your language, you see it translated. If the translation is missing, the German original appears – instead of an empty page.
Images and videos in the text
Articles can contain images and videos placed inside the text – right where they explain something.
Keep reading instead of dead ends
Every article ends with related ones: first from the same category, then the newest. That way one question leads to the next.
How to find an article
Four steps – the same on the web and in the app.
Open Knowledge
Go to dogsy.ch/wissen or, in the app, to Discover → Knowledge. You see all published articles: highlighted ones first, then the newest.
Pick a category
Click behaviour, everyday life, health or training to narrow the list. «All» brings everything back.
Type a keyword
Write what you're looking for into the search field. The list filters right away – title, summary and category are searched.
Read on
Open an article. At the end you'll find related articles, and you can share the article's address or save it as a bookmark.
What you can read without an account
So you know where you stand: title, summary and the beginning of every article are free for everyone – no account, no sign-in. For the full article you need a free DOGSY account. Safety-related articles are the exception: they can always be read in full. If you're about to meet an unfamiliar dog for the first time, you should be able to read the advice right away – not create an account first.
Free for everyone
The whole list, all categories, the search – and the title, summary and beginning of every article. Safety-related articles in full.
With a free account
The full text of every article, on the web and in the app under Discover → Knowledge. The account costs nothing.
Your search stays with you
You need neither an account nor your location to browse. The instant search runs entirely in your browser: what you type into the search field is not sent to DOGSY and not stored.
Frequently asked questions
Do the knowledge articles cost anything?
No. The articles are free. The beginning of every article is open to everyone; for the full text you need a free DOGSY account.
Who writes the articles?
The DOGSY editorial team. They are written in plain language for dog owners – not as a training course and without jargon.
Do the articles replace a vet or a dog school?
No. No article replaces veterinary advice or qualified support on the spot. Every dog is an individual: what suits one may not suit another. When in doubt, ask your vet or a dog trainer.
Which languages are the articles available in?
If an article exists in your language, you see it translated. If the translation is missing, the German original appears.
Can I find an article again later?
Yes. Every article has a fixed address (dogsy.ch/wissen/…). You can share it or save it as a bookmark and come back any time.
Are the articles in the app too?
Yes, under Discover → Knowledge – with the same categories and the same search. As a signed-in Dogsyaner you read every article in full there.
