The Well Oiled K9 Member Community
Learn More. Ask Better Questions. Make Better Decisions for Your Dog.
The Member Community is where dog moms come to learn how I think about food, natural wellness, remedies, prevention, recovery, common health concerns and all the questions that come up as we try to help our dogs feel better and stay healthier.
This is not another Facebook group full of random opinions. It is organized education, practical resources, direct access to ask questions, monthly live Zoom sessions and a place to keep learning as your dog changes.
Beginning September 1, membership pricing will increase substantially. The new annual rate will be at least $400.
The $150 annual renewal rate can ONLY be locked in through Substack. Squarespace does not preserve your original renewal price.
More Than a Content Library
This Is Where the Pieces Start Making Sense
You can Google almost anything about dogs. The hard part is knowing what applies to your dog, what deserves your attention first, what may be worth learning more about and what probably does not.
Ask Questions
Members can ask general food, supplement, wellness, product, remedy and prevention questions through the private Facebook group and/or Substack community.
Learn at Your Own Pace
Work through the Homemade Food Course, complete Remedies Classes, recorded discussions, member articles, reference tools and practical wellness education when it fits your schedule.
Meet With Me Live
Join our monthly live Zoom sessions for deeper education, current topics, member questions and the conversations that are much easier to have together than in another social post.
Your Active Membership Includes:
When Something Comes Up
“Okay Dana... What Can I Do Today?”
You do not have to wait for the next live Zoom to have somewhere sensible to start.
The member area includes practical quick-reference tools for those moments when something changes, your dog seems off, you have a food or remedy question, or you simply cannot remember where we talked about that thing six months ago.
Ask. Learn. Talk It Through.
Monthly Live Zoom + Ongoing Member Q&A
The Zoom sessions give us room to slow down and actually teach. Sometimes I bring a topic I think every dog mom should understand. Sometimes your questions send us in an entirely different direction. Usually, it is a little of both.
Between live sessions, members can continue asking general questions through the private Facebook Group and/or Substack.
I Want This to Teach You Something.
Membership is not meant to become an endless stream of “Dana, tell me what supplement to buy.”
I want you to understand why we might choose one food over another, why a particular remedy fits one situation and not another, what changes deserve attention and when we need more information before making another move.
The more you understand, the better decisions you can make for your own dog.
Included With Membership
The Homemade Food Course + Complete Remedies Classes
These are no longer little extras sitting somewhere else on the website. They are part of the educational foundation of The Well Oiled K9 Member Community.
Homemade Food Course
Learn how to think about building a fresh homemade bowl, choosing ingredients, balancing the major components, understanding common gaps and making better food decisions without turning dinner into a chemistry degree.
Complete Remedies Classes
Work through essential oils, herbs, homeopathy, botanicals, First Aid education and the related remedy references at your own pace.
Beginning September 1, the Remedies Classes will be available exclusively through active membership and will no longer be sold as standalone classes.
Premium Guides & Protocols
Members receive 50% off my premium downloadable guides and protocols. I do not simply hand over the entire download library.
When a particular guide belongs with a class, live discussion or work we are doing together, I may include it at no additional cost.
Being a Member Has Perks
Member Pricing Beyond the Community
Membership is also my way of giving ongoing clients and engaged pet parents preferred access to additional help when they need it.
50% Off Premium Guides
Active members receive half off eligible premium downloadable guides and protocols.
Discounts on Eligible Services
Active members receive member savings on eligible future consultations and services. Service exclusions may apply depending on the type of appointment or package.
Use the Space You Like
Facebook, Substack & Live Zoom
Some people love Facebook. Some people would happily launch Facebook directly into the sun. You have options.
Private Facebook Group
Ask general questions, join discussions, share updates and participate in the more conversational side of membership.
Substack
Member posts, educational content, Q&A, announcements and the best place to manage your subscription.
Monthly Live Zoom
Join me live for deeper education, current topics, questions and the discussions that deserve more than a comment thread.
Changes Begin September 1
Membership Is Becoming a More Intentional Part of Working With Me.
The community has grown substantially, and I want to keep it useful, personal and focused. Beginning September 1, membership will no longer remain continuously open to everyone.
Membership pricing will also increase substantially, and the complete Remedies Classes will become exclusive to active members.
Past & Current Clients
If we have worked together privately, membership will remain available as an ongoing education and support option after your consultation or package.
New Pet Parents
If you have not worked with me privately, membership will open during selected enrollment periods rather than remaining available year-round.
Why Enrollment Windows?
This allows me to welcome new members intentionally, guide them through the courses and foundational resources and use the live sessions to help people actually apply what they are learning.
Important Boundaries
Membership Is Support. It Is Not Private Case Management.
Keeping that distinction clear makes the membership more useful for everyone and makes sure individualized cases get the time and attention they deserve.
Membership Is Great For:
- General nutrition and fresh food questions
- Understanding supplements and products
- Learning about natural wellness options
- Seasonal and preventive wellness education
- Remedy and First Aid education
- Questions from the Homemade Food and Remedies Classes
- Learning how to make better everyday decisions
Private Support Is Better For:
- Complex chronic disease
- Detailed individual lab review
- Custom therapeutic diet planning
- Major diagnoses or multiple overlapping concerns
- Private troubleshooting and case management
- Ongoing individualized adjustments
- Situations requiring detailed review of your dog's history
August Open Enrollment
Want In Before the Membership Changes?
Join during August and you do not have to wait for a future enrollment window. Subscribe annually through Substack before September 1 and lock in the current introductory annual rate.
Your active membership includes the Homemade Food Course, complete Remedies Classes, monthly live Zoom sessions, Q&A through the private Facebook Group and/or Substack, member resources, 50% savings on premium guides and discounts on eligible future services.
Rate lock is available only through Substack and remains valid while your annual subscription stays continuously active. If you cancel and later rejoin, the current membership price at that time will apply.
