You're Not Alone in This

If you've ever spent hours trying to figure out what to feed your dog, how much, or whether you're "doing it right"… you're not alone.

Most dog parents want to feed better — but the internet makes it overwhelming.

One person says add liver, another says too much is toxic.
Vets warn you it's too hard. And before long, you're scared to cook at all.

We built The Dog Child VIP Home Cooking Community to change that — to give you the clarity, tools, and expert support you need to feed your dog real food, the right way.

You don't need to be a vet or a nutritionist. You just need the right guidance — and that's exactly what you'll get inside.

Nicole Marchand, Founder of Dog Child

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 animal nutritionist Katie McCaul, along with our team of vet advisors, we built a trusted space where dog parents like you can get expert guidance, easy recipes, and total peace of mind.
