Expert Canine Nutrition Consultation · $75
Every dog is different, so their nutrition should be too. This is a private, in-depth conversation with Christie A. Willett, our Clinical Integrative Animal Nutritionist, focused completely on your dog. Together we'll go over your concerns, review your dog's current feeding routine, find the areas worth a closer look, and talk through practical next steps you can start using right away.
Your $75 goes toward more if you decide to go further
If you decide you'd like Waggin Meals to formulate a custom nutrition plan for your dog, we'll apply your full $75 as a credit toward our $399 Comprehensive Consultation.

- 2Talk it through: an in-depth conversation about your dog's health, habits, and nutrition.
- 3Choose your next step: use the guidance on your own, or move up to the Comprehensive Consultation with your $75 credit applied.
The $75 credit applies to the $399 Comprehensive Consultation when booked within 30 days of your Expert Canine Nutrition Consultation. Consultations are for nutrition education and do not replace veterinary care.

Our Story
Built From Loss. Fueled by Love.
Waggin Meals didn't start with a business plan. It started with loss, survival, starting over, and the dogs who helped carry Christie through it all.
That journey led her into education, advocacy, and nonprofit work, The Great American Road Rally: Celebrity Edition, and now the upcoming documentary I Do Not Want to Die. Today, our team pours that same heart into every meal, every consultation, and every family we serve.

Our large pup loves their food and broth! Christie is so helpful, kind and very knowledgeable about canine nutrition! You can tell she genuinely cares about your dog's health and not just selling products. They also offer a private dog park that you can rent hourly! We recently rented the park for our pups birthday and had a blast.
The team at Waggin Meals is phenomenal, we all know that the key to better health starts with what we eat and why not have my pets on a better health plan too??!!! It's the best way to keep our pets healthy and also support someone who has done the work, the education and made it readily available to all, near and far. Diet matters! I'm so happy to have found Waggin Meals and glad I can give delicious food to my beloved animal friends.
We call her "Doc" on the set. She sent our Maggie some of her delicious food. She loved all of it. Maggie is our baby and Christie consulted us on some feeding behavior tips. 5 paws up!
When I initially got my dog Ivy, she ate Waggin Meals for about the first year of her life. She was never particularly motivated by food, so I decided to put her on kibble and see how it went. She ended up gaining weight, her coat was dull and she developed eczema. I put her back on Waggin Meals and she has since dropped back down to a healthy weight and is happy and healthy. I would 1000% recommend Waggin Meals!
A thoughtful approach to canine nutrition begins with understanding the individual dog.
