About the Dept.

Dept. of Dogs (@deptofdogs on TikTok) makes short, fun dog videos: RANK IT lists, DOG TEST episodes that look at what research actually says, and quizzes for dog people.

How we make videos

• The host is an AI-animated 3D plush puppy, a made-up character created for the channel, not a real dog. Its name is still top secret (we haven't picked one).
• Dog photos are real, licensed from free stock libraries. See Credits.
• Claims come with sources. When we say "scientists found…", we link the study. If something is only a hypothesis, we say so.
• We're not vets. Nothing here is veterinary advice. For health questions, ask your vet.
