Dogster is a bimonthly magazine and website for dog lovers. Its sister publication is Catster, a bimonthly magazine and website for cat lovers. Dogster magazine (formerly Dog Fancy) has been continuously published since 1970, celebrating 50 years in 2020.

Dogster began as a community site and in 2005 won a Webby Award in the category for best community site.[1]

It was acquired by SAY Media in 2011.[2] In July 2014, Dogster and Catster were sold to Lumina Media.[3] In 2015, Lumina Media combined its two large cat and dog brands — Dog Fancy magazine and Dogster.com and Cat Fancy magazine and Catster.com — under the brand names of Catster and Dogster.[4] The Dogster and Catster brands were sold to Belvoir Media Group in April 2017.[5]
