The Well Oiled K9 Support Community

Let's Talk Dogs

Weekly live group support, practical holistic guidance, seasonal reminders, member only resources, and a better place to ask dog wellness questions than Facebook chaos.

Join the Support Community See How It Works

This is not another pile of information you are supposed to read. It is a support space designed to help you slow down, ask better questions, and understand what may matter first.

You love your dog. You just need a better place to sort through the noise.

Food, allergies, gut issues, anxiety, senior dog changes, supplements, products, natural remedies, and “is this normal?” moments can get overwhelming fast.

Too many opinions

One person says chicken and rice. Another says Benadryl. Someone else says change the food. Then the internet gives you 37 tabs and no real plan.

Not every question needs a full consult

Sometimes you need quick direction, a better question, a product conversation, or help knowing which resource applies to your dog.

But some dogs need deeper support

Part of the value is learning the difference between a simple next step, a helpful guide, and a situation that deserves private support.

This is not just a library. It is a support rhythm.

Yes, there are guides, remedies classes, homemade food class, protocols, and member-only resources. But the real value is learning how to use them without getting lost. The point is not to do everything. The point is to know where to start.

How the community works

The community is built around connection, reminders, live support, and practical direction — not random posts floating into the void.

Weekly Support

Tuesday Live Support Calls

Live Zoom calls are the heart of the community. These are group support calls where members can submit questions, listen in, learn from other dog parents, and get practical direction from Dana.

Some calls may have a theme. Some may be driven by member questions. Some may be a little bit of both.

Either way, the goal is the same: help you understand what to look at next.

Two Tuesday Lunch & Learn calls each month For members who prefer a daytime support option.

Two Tuesday evening support calls each month For members who need an after-work option.

Replay access If you cannot attend live, you can still watch the replay and follow the resource direction.

Question submission Submit focused questions ahead of the weekly call so the support is more organized and useful for everyone.

Choose the community space that works for you

Some people love Facebook. Some people do not. Members can use the space that feels easiest.

Private Facebook Group

For members who naturally check Facebook and want a familiar place for reminders, discussion, dog updates, product questions, and community conversation.

Substack Chat

For members who prefer a quieter, more organized space for community discussion and support threads.

Neither space is private 1:1 coaching. Please do not use private messages, direct email, or text for membership support. Questions should be posted in the community spaces or submitted for the weekly live calls so everyone can learn.

A few questions before you join

Clear expectations make the community better for everyone.

Is this private coaching?

No. The community includes group support, education, resource direction, live calls, and discussion. It does not include private case management, custom protocols, custom diet formulation, lab interpretation, or unlimited one-on-one coaching.

Can I ask questions about my dog?

Yes, you can ask focused general education questions in the community spaces or submit questions for the live calls. Some questions can be answered directly. Some will be better suited for a guide or replay. Some may require private support.

What if I cannot attend the live calls?

Replays will be available so you can still learn from the weekly support calls when you cannot attend live.

Can I use Facebook instead of Substack Chat?

Yes. Members will have access to a private Facebook group for those who prefer Facebook, and Substack Chat for those who prefer that space.

What if my dog has a complex health issue?

You are welcome in the community, but complex situations may need a private Wellness Roadmap or support package. If your dog needs deeper review, Dana will tell you clearly and kindly.

Bring the question. We’ll sort the next step.

Whether you are a past client who wants reminders and ongoing connection, or you are brand new and trying to figure out where to start, this community gives you a calmer place to come back to.
