The Dog Child VIP Community
The #1 Home Cooking
Club for Dog Parents
Confidently feed your dog fresh, healthy meals-without second guessing.
Led by nutrition experts and built by dog parents just like you, the Dog Child VIP Community shows you exactly what to feed your dog and how to do it simply, safely, and with confidence.


Created by Dog Parents, Backed by Experts
Hi, I'm Nicole, founder of Dog Child and dog mom to Billy and Cricket. I created this community because I know how confusing and overwhelming home cooking can feel at first.
With the help of professional dog nutritionist Katie McCaul, along with our team of board-certified vet advisors, we built a trusted space where dog parents like you can get expert guidance, easy recipes, and total peace of mind.
Each week, we answer your questions directly from our expert nutritionist, Katie—who not only formulates balanced recipes but has real-life experience home cooking for her own dogs.
Meet Our Nutritionist – Katie McCaul
Katie is a certified canine nutritionist with over 10 years of experience developing balanced recipes and nutrition plans for dogs of all ages, sizes, and health needs. She's worked alongside veterinarians, animal wellness brands, and thousands of dog parents to bring a real-life, practical approach to feeding dogs fresh, whole food.
Katie brings a unique perspective to the community—not only as a certified expert but as a home cook who understands the challenges of day-to-day feeding. Every week, she answers member questions and helps troubleshoot everything from allergies to picky eating to portion sizing.
