How It Works

Getting expert help for your dog is simple. Here's the process.

1

Describe Your Concern

Tell me about your dog's behavior, health concern, or training challenge. No detail is too small. The more I know, the better I can help.

2

Get Expert Guidance

I'll assess the situation, explain what's likely going on, and create a clear action plan tailored specifically to your dog.

3

Connect with Specialists

If your dog needs specialized care, I'll match you with the right surgeon, trainer, or behaviorist from my nationwide network.

What I Can Help With

From behavioral challenges to finding the right surgeon, I've got you covered.

Behavioral Issues

I watched Zuzu go from a dog paralyzed by anxiety to one who greets the world with confidence. I know firsthand how the right behavioral approach can transform a dog's life, and I'll help you find it.

Aggression & reactivitySeparation anxietyFear & phobiasBehavioral modification

Physical Conditions

Sixteen years of managing Buttons' systemic health challenges taught me how to navigate complex medical situations, coordinate between specialists, and advocate for a dog who can't advocate for themselves.

Chronic illness managementAllergies & skin conditionsVision & hearing lossSenior dog care

Surgical & Orthopedic

Theo's multiple joint surgeries gave me hard-won knowledge about finding the right surgeon, understanding surgical options, and managing recovery. I'll guide you through every step.

Specialist Referrals

Meet the Dogs Who Made Me an Expert

Everything I know, I learned from Buttons, Theo, and Zuzu. Their journeys are the foundation of everything I do.

Buttons the 16 years old dog

Buttons

16 years old

The one who taught me everything about chronic care

Buttons has been my crash course in navigating the medical system for dogs. He's blind, deaf, and has battled systemic health issues his entire life. Through 16 years of specialist visits, medication management, and countless vet consultations, I learned how to advocate fiercely for a dog that the textbooks might have given up on. Buttons is proof that with the right team and relentless care, dogs can thrive far beyond expectations.

What Buttons taught me:Physical conditions & chronic illness management
Theo the 10 years old dog

Theo

10 years old

The one who taught me how to find the right surgeon

Theo's joint issues started early, and by the time we'd been through multiple surgeries, I'd become an expert in finding the right orthopedic specialists, evaluating surgical options, navigating recovery protocols, and knowing when a second opinion isn't just helpful but essential. Theo's journey is why I can walk any dog owner through the surgical process with confidence.

What Theo taught me:Surgical referrals & joint/orthopedic issues
Zuzu the 2 years old dog

Zuzu

2 years old

The one who taught me the power of behavioral work

When Zuzu came into our lives, his anxiety was debilitating. He was reactive, fearful, and shut down in ways that broke our hearts. Through months of dedicated behavioral modification, finding the right approach, the right trainer, and staying consistent through the hard parts, Zuzu is now a completely different dog. His transformation is the reason I'm so passionate about connecting owners with the right behavioral specialists.

Meet Jessica Koenig

Your dog's personal advocate and wellness advisor.

I'm Jessica Koenig, and everything I know about dog wellness, I learned the hard way through my own three dogs.

Buttons, my 16-year-old Yorkie, has been blind, deaf, and managing systemic health issues his entire life. Theo, my 10-year-old Yorkie, has been through multiple joint surgeries. And Zuzu, just 2, came to us with anxiety so severe he could barely function. Each of them forced me to become an expert in a different area of canine care, and collectively, they've given me a depth of knowledge that no textbook ever could.

Over the years, I've built relationships with the best specialists in the country. I know which surgeon to trust with a complex orthopedic case, which behaviorist actually gets results with anxious dogs, and which vet will go the extra mile for a senior dog with chronic conditions. Now I help other dog owners skip the painful trial-and-error I went through and connect directly with the right expert for their situation.
