This page is set up specifically for those that would like to purchase a private consultation or make a donation to our website to help us continue our work on educating pet owners about the MANY benefits of using natural remedies to help their old dog.

We spend a great deal of time with those pet parents that reach out to us and our goal is to stay with you until you feel comfortable moving forward with your pet on your own. We also spend a great deal of time on our blog articles to make sure that they TRULY make a difference. For us, it’s not about just putting content out there. The content we put out there, matters to us!

We want you to know that we are honored to help you on your natural, holistic journey to better health for your dog. We take great pride in each and every private consultation we do.

If  you don’t want a private consultation, but simply want to donate, we truly APPRECIATE your generosity and any contribution that you decide to make. This helps us to help older dogs everywhere!

How to Set Up a Private Consultation

Because of the time-consuming nature of this service, we respectfully charge a $125 consultation fee to compensate for the time it takes to work with you and your dog, ongoing. There’s no expiration for our consultation, meaning we work with you ongoing for as long as you need us. We’re here for you whenever you need us. No expiration!

If you would like to participate in this beneficial service, please reach out to us using our contact form here after purchasing your consultation and let us know that you would like to start right away.

We will then forward you some questions via email that will help us to better understand what may be going on with your best friend. We don’t replace your veterinarian’s advice; we simply offer some other natural alteratives for you to consider.

Setting up a Phone Appointment

Once you’ve completed the questionaire for your private consultation, just reply back back to us with your answers and we will schedule a phone appointment with you as well. We typically communicate by phone once at the beginning stages of the consultation. This helps all involved to better understand the situation.

We will work with you tirelessly to develop a personalized protocol for your dog. Our goal is NOT to send you the protocol and be done with you; instead we stay with you on your journey. We communicate to see how things are going. You are free to email Janie with any questions or concerns. You are not alone on your journey.

WE ARE ONE OF THE OLDEST AND MOST TRUSTED WEBSITES ONLINE FOR NATURAL CARE FOR OLD DOGS SINCE 2009!

When our dogs get older, the process of maturing can be difficult to navigate for even the most loving of pet owners.

After your dog has seen your vet and you’re left wondering where to go, that’s where we come in. We help you navigate through that process of dealing with your sick senior dog.

We work with you to help you develop the right diet (based upon your dog’s sickness), herbs and supplements and other natural remedies as part of your best friend’s healing plan. Again, we ARE NOT replacing your dog’s veterinarian’s recommendations, we simply share nutritional guidance and natural ideas.

Those who frequent YourOldDog.com know they can trust that our passion for pets will always be a guiding light by providing the best information possible. This will always be our primary principle.

    Janie provided me with invaluable information regarding countless issues that are going on with my almost 10 year old Shih Tzu. You must know I have been to countless traditional and holistic vets and have tried numerous supplements with very little to no success. My dog was diagnosed with Cushings and even the holistic vet gave me no hope. Basically told me he had never seen a dog with an ALP of 7523 and there was not much he could do. Janie is brilliant!!! Her knowledge and wisdom is unrivaled. She started my dog on a new regimen and he is thriving!!! I have seen significant improvement in his quality of life. Janie has been a tremendous support for me and she is now my go to expert for natural alternative treatment options and recommendations. If you have a sick pet or know of someone caring for a sick pet, please get the word out about this website and let them know about Janie and her unmatched knowledge and expertise.

    Little girl on the mend

    Anna D

    Our little girl is doing much better and I’ve learned so much from Janie. We have her on several supplements but no more medications as they were harming her liver and even her kidneys were starting to become imbalanced. Her heart is still a main concern, but she seems to feel even better with the right remedies provided by Janie. We’ll get her checked out again in a couple more months and we’re hoping her blood markers are much improved and maybe even the heart murmur will be improved too. She’s doing really great and we’re so glad to have our little girl feeling good again! Thank you Janie!

    Zero is doing well! Thankfully, his lymph nodes have remained shrunken down and they haven’t gotten any larger! He’s a big eater and has a big appetite. He’s been so strong and I owe a lot of it to you. I really appreciate all your help and support during our journey!

    I was so pleased with the information you shared with me to help my dog Pete. He was so sick and the information you taught me made such a big difference in his life. He is happy, healthy and running and playing fetch now. After seeing the vet (before I spoke to you) I came away without much hope for his recovery and after talking to you I have so much hope for him to make a full recovery and continue to live and enjoy life.
    Thanks so much! I am so glad I found you and appreciate your wisdom and help

    Hi Janie!

    I just wanted to let you know that we were able to get Skidz teeth taken care of. The poor little guy has but 5 teeth now, however, This is a vast improvement. When you and I started a little over a year ago to get the boys to heal a bit, Skidz former vet and an emergency vet both said that this dental cleaning couldn’t be done because his heart murmur was too bad. Indeed, Skidz really didn’t like moving much and walks were out of the question for him. Since then on the diet and supplements you have recommended, Skidz not only could have his teeth cleaned or extracted but he is now happily bouncing around. We had the dental work done a week ago and by the second day he was up, bouncy and happy. He is on the usual care of antibiotics and pain medication and anti inflammatory but he will be off of them soon. He is eating his food with gusto and seems so much more happier and at ease.

    Also, I figured out how to get Sheldon to eat his meals. I will soak about a cup of the food you recommended overnight, cook the other meals for him and then add the other recommended food to the batch. He loves it and the extra nutrients from the greens are so valuable.

    So, many thanks for helping my husband, Stephen and I to get our Skidz ready for a life changing surgery. He is so happy and isn’t in much pain. We are grateful for all your help and I thank and praise God that He pointed me to look and find you. You are a blessing in our lives. Thank you!

      Hi Deb:
      That is great news! I’m so happy that Skidz’ heart became strong enough for him to get the dental surgery. I know you’ll keep up with his remaining teeth too; but should you need help, please reach out Deb! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m happy for you and Stephen, Skidz and Sheldon honored to know you all!

    Cushings diagnosis ..... A better life for our dog.

    Cheryl Scherbenr

    Janie has helped Zoey our 12 year old vizsla with her incontinence and adrenals. We’ve changed her diet – no longer feeding her any dried food. Zoey enjoys her new meals and has lost some weight and bloat. Although she leaks from time to time it’s a huge difference from when we started with Janie. I’m thankful I did some research on the internet to find YourOldDog.com

    My dog Chip was VERY sick from Protein-losing enteropathy aka PLE and he is now BETTER!!

    Barbara Boyd (verified owner)

    I contacted Janie when my 8 year old Pomeranian had been treated for loose stools and a swollen belly for 4 months with no results, just kept getting worse. The vet felt it was PLE and IBS.

    Janie took all Chip’s info and set up a regime of home made food and supplements. Within 3 weeks he was so much better. Great stools, fluid in stomach gone and most of his weight back. Janie was so kind and generous with her time, and knowledgeable. I believe Janie saved his life.

    I look forward to many more years with my healthy dog.

    THANK YOU YourOldDog!!

    For all Dog Lovers,
    You and Your dog will be happy to have found Janie @ Yourolddog .com!
    Janie is a caring (displaying kindness and concern for others), knowledgable (intelligent and well informed)!
    I can’t say enough how amazing she is.
    “YourOldDog.com is dedicated to sharing safe, effective, natural and holistic methods and products for your older dog” website Quote!
    Everyone who has a dog will benefit from the private and personal consultation !
    After following Janie’s protocol, the difference I saw, in Latte,
    in just a view weeks, is Amazing.
    When I took ( Latte ) to the vet, she could not walk and the blood test was Horrifying.They were going to load her up with antybiotics and recommend a number of tests and charge me a small fortune.
    I thought for sure I would loose her.
    Its been about a month and
    Latte is constantly improving ( now following me wherever I go ) and Janie is there every step of the way!
    Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
    You truly make a difference in this challenging world!
    God Bless,
    Rudi

    So happy to have found Janie and yourolddog.com! A real life saver

    Denise (verified owner)

    I found Janie last year when our senior dog Ginger got sick after a rabies shot. After searching the web and finding this opportunity for a consultation, I jumped on it right away. Unfortunately, we found her a little too late, but she helped us make our girls last days as comfortable as possible. We continue to stay in contact to help our 17 year old pug beagle Rita . Janie is always so responsive with tons of information that nobody else seems to have. From diet to supplements and everything in between. I often say "I wish Janie was our neighbor!". Not to worry though as she continues to be as responsive as the day we first talked. Now with a new puppy in the house we are able to take the knowledge Janie provided for our old girls and give Ruby a great start in life. Also, Rita may out live us at this point! Thank you for everything Janie!

    Janie goes above and beyond to get the full picture of your pet before she builds a wellness plan. Together we discussed lab results, current diagnoses and medications and formulated a plan for supplements and diet that would serve Sawyer. I am happy to report that his liver values are down, his glucose is being managed, and he is no longer restless at night. Thank you for your dedication to my schnauzer!

    I could write a book but I will keep it short. Janie saved my dog. Even the vet was shocked at his amazing, healthy turn around when I stopped the veterinarian medical protocol and decided to take YourOldDog’s advice. My vet said my dog had never looked so good or been so healthy. I am a YOD fan for life. Thank you, Janie!

    Everything was great

    Deborah A. (verified owner)

    I have been very disappointed with my vet's decisions to up the dosage of medication. The medication itself isn't working for my pup and the increase dosage was causing him to be sick with diarrhea and his energy level went down. I decided to do something different rather continue to make my little guy suffer with this protocol. I found Janie's site, read a lot of the articles she has written and read the reviews, so I decided to ask for a consultation. I was not disappointed. Janie is very knowledgeable in the diseases my one dog has and then we talked about the other pup I had with a heart murmur. She worked out a diet and supplement requirements for my one but as a bonus she made diet and supplement suggestions for my other boy. Janie is a kind, passionate and generous person and very professional. I'm very thankful I met her.

    Consultation

    Julie H. (verified owner)

    My recent consultation with Janie was so very thorough and thoughtful. From the written questionnaire, the follow up phone consult and protocol emails with clear directions as to how to proceed and address the concerns specific to my dogs issues I give two thumbs up! I have seen big positive results just a week in. Janie listened to my concerns, adapting recommendations aware of my wildly busy life as a health care provider. All the while sharing her positive attitude/supportive tone of “you got this.” I am so thankful for her knowledge, her years of experience and solid wisdom. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Janie.

    Janie has great knowledge and a very sincere person

    Mila M. (verified owner)

    Many thanks to Janie for her help. When I asked Janie for a consultation I was very frightened and upset about the health of my beloved Lexi. The insulin injections did not give the desired result and her blood sugar jumped from low to high very quickly. I decided to try natural treatment together with insulin and Janie made up a protocol guide that included a new diet, vitamins and supplements that will help lower blood sugar and improve her general condition, I began to do everything that Janie advised me and after only two weeks my Lexi's condition became much better, her blood sugar no longer jumps but is in the range of 100 up to 250, Lexi has a good appetite and she began to gain weight. Thank you very much to Janie for her help. I am very glad that I ordered a consultation, she gave me much more than I could have expected.

    An angel in my life

    MARIA M. (verified owner)

    Janie was an angel in my life. He committment is so amazing towards these beuatiful beings. I am from Mexico, and Janie was so helpful and caring about my dog Pancho and myself. Unfortunately I discovered Janie and her page too late, however I was able to see a recovery in Pancho´s health with the recommendations of Janie. I got the consultation like 6 weeks after I saw this webpage, do not wait that long, if I had just done it when I saw the page, maybe the outcome would have been a different story. I would also recommend not only to consult Janie for an older dog, but start rather early in your dog´s life. Her knowledge and care would help your dog for sure. I am greatful I was able to contact her and get the advice, see that she was understanding of my feelings, my fears. Pancho was a beautiful lovely 12 year old boxer who we rescued 5.5 years ago. I have always believed that the proper diet is key in a human being, so why wouldnt it be in a dog? Unfortunately in my country there are people with the knowledge of Janie, so if your dog is not well, you see some changes in him/her do not wait. It is worth the time and money. For my amazing Pancho it was too late, it took 2 months for Cancer to take him, time in a dog is everything. Thank you Janie for being an angel in our lives.

    very knowledgeable and compassionate

    Jeff G.

    We hired Janie to work with us when our 12 year old lab got very sick. She put us on the natural home cooked protocol. Unfortunately, Sydney was on her way out. But we referred Janie to our neighbor whose dog is doing very well and we now have a 2 year old rescue lab who had some issues with dull coat and paw pad issues. We put him on the colostrum sold on this site and Maxie has done very well with it. We would not hesitate to call on Janie for any nutritional issue for our dog. Janie was there to help get us thru the grieving process and her bedside manners are beyond what we would've expected. I recommend hiring her for your dog issues as she has lots of experience and I totally trust her opinions
