Most dogs who need help never get a real plan.

Your vet might mention your dog’s weight in passing. You might try cutting back on kibble. Maybe you’ve Googled “dog diet plan” and found something generic.

None of that is a plan. A plan accounts for breed, age, desexing status, current food, activity level, and what’s actually happening metabolically. That’s what CHONKY does.

✓ Breed-specific ✓ Evidence-based ✓ Vet-assessed BCS ✓ No generic PDFs

Simple. Thorough. Actually useful.

Four steps from “my dog needs help” to a personalised plan in your inbox.

Tell us about your dog

Fill out a short intake form covering breed, age, sex, desexing status, current diet, activity level, health conditions, and what you’ve already tried. Upload a couple of photos so Dr Caitlin can assess body condition visually before the call.

Your 20-minute consultation with Dr Caitlin

Body Condition Score Assessment

A formal BCS assessment (1–9 scale) with a clear written explanation of where your dog sits and what it means clinically.

Daily Calorie Target

Calculated for your dog’s target weight, breed metabolism, and activity level — not a generic estimate from the back of a food bag.

Personalised Feeding Guide

Specific food recommendations — amounts, frequency, treat protocols, and whether your current food is working against you.

Exercise & Activity Framework

A realistic activity plan suited to your dog’s current fitness, breed traits, and your actual lifestyle — not just “walk more.”

Household Compliance Tips

The real reason dogs don’t lose weight is usually a person in the household. Dr Caitlin addresses this directly and non-judgementally.

Monthly Progress Template

A simple weigh-in and photo format so you can track progress at home — and know when the plan is working.

Dr Caitlin — the vet who will actually read your form.

Jess K.
Monty — 7yr Golden Retriever, Sydney
★★★★★

“Sceptical a 20-minute call could be worth it. I was wrong. The plan is specific, practical, and actually explains the ‘why’ behind everything.”

FAQs

Is this a real vet consultation?

Yes. Dr Caitlin is a registered Australian veterinarian. This is a genuine professional consultation — not a chatbot, not a questionnaire with an algorithm. Caitlin reviews your intake form personally before every call and provides a written plan based on her clinical assessment.

Do I need to have seen my regular vet first?

Not necessarily. CHONKY is a nutrition and weight management advisory service. If Dr Caitlin identifies anything that suggests your dog needs an in-person examination first, she will tell you clearly. This service is designed to complement — not replace — your regular vet relationship.

Can you prescribe medication or prescription food?

CHONKY consultations are advisory. Prescription medications and prescription veterinary diets require an established vet-client-patient relationship with a local clinic. Dr Caitlin will advise you if these are appropriate and what to ask your clinic — and can help you prepare that conversation.

My dog has arthritis / diabetes / thyroid issues. Can you still help?

Include all health conditions in your intake form. Dr Caitlin is clinically trained and experienced adapting weight plans for dogs with concurrent conditions. For complex cases she may recommend working in parallel with your local vet — and can help frame that conversation.

How much weight should my dog lose per week?

The evidence-based target for safe canine weight loss is 1–2% of body weight per week. For a 30 kg dog, that’s 300–600 g/week. Dr Caitlin will set your dog’s specific target and timeline in the written plan.

What if I’m not happy with the plan?

If within 14 days of receiving your plan you feel it wasn’t personalised, useful, or worth the fee — email us and we’ll give you a full refund. No questions, no forms. We’re building trust, not chasing transactions.
