Mon–Sat · Plan delivered within 24 hours
The honest truth
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.
The process
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
A focused private video call with a practising Australian vet — not a nurse, not an AI chatbot. Dr Caitlin reviews your intake in advance, so the call goes straight to what’s driving the weight, what realistic loss looks like, and what will work for your dog and your household.
Receive your personalised Chonky Weight Plan
Within 24 hours: a written plan with your dog’s BCS assessment, daily calorie target, feeding guide, exercise framework, food recommendations, and compliance tips. Everything you need to start immediately.
Stay accountable with the community (optional)
Join the private Chonky Community — monthly group check-ins with Dr Caitlin, progress photo tracking, and a community where someone who actually knows your dog’s history is reading every post.
What’s included
Everything in your plan.
Every consultation includes a full written plan delivered to your inbox within 24 hours.
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.
Your vet
Dr Caitlin — the vet who will actually read your form.
Dr Caitlin is a registered Australian veterinarian with clinical experience in small animal practice. She sees overweight dogs every day — and knows exactly what’s missing from the standard “cut down the food” conversation.
CHONKY exists because she got tired of not having a proper tool to give clients. Every consultation is with Caitlin personally. Your dog gets her eyes, her knowledge, and her honest clinical opinion.
Early results
What owners are saying.
“I’ve been told by three different vets that Biscuit needs to lose weight. Caitlin was the first one who actually told me how.”
“The part about our household was uncomfortably accurate. My husband didn’t believe it would work. Monty is down 2.3 kg in 10 weeks.”
“Sceptical a 20-minute call could be worth it. I was wrong. The plan is specific, practical, and actually explains the ‘why’ behind everything.”

Common questions
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.
