Golden Years, Glowing Health is a 5 week interactive small-group program. It includes a weekly interactive video call so that we can go over the course material together, and you’ll have time to ask all your questions. The time commitment each week is about 2 hours - 30 to 60 minutes to review that week’s module independently, then 60 to 90 minutes on our group call. You can also spend as much time as you’d like interacting with other like-minded pet parents in our private online community.

Any dog 6 years or older is already on the cusp of their senior years, and will benefit from what you’ll learn in this course. If your dog is younger, and you want to be proactive about preparing for their golden years, you are also welcome to join us!

In my 15+ years in veterinary medicine, I’ve taught countless senior pet parents how to help their dogs stay healthy and happy as they age. I’ve noticed that certain issues come up over and over again, and often aren’t thoroughly addressed during regular vet visits. I’ve found that the biggest impact on quality of life comes from a relatively small number of changes, and many of them are things people don’t think to do on their own and are surprised when I recommend them. This course is designed to teach you all of these things so that you can confidently assess your dog at home, AND have higher-quality conversations with your veterinarian during office visits.

That’s fantastic! I want you to take the things you learn in Golden Years, and use them to enrich your relationship with your veterinarian so that you can make the most of your time together during office visits! An informed pet parent can ask better questions during office visits to get better information. A lot of time in the office is spent on surface level information, because that’s important stuff that needs to be talked about! But that information is general, and can be applied to almost any dog - learn those things from this course, so that you can have your foundation already built and be able to spend your valuable face-to-face time with YOUR veterinarian going deeper into issues that are specific to your individual dog.

This course is in no way meant to replace your relationship with your own veterinarian. I cannot diagnose or prescribe for your dog, because we are not establishing the required veterinarian-client-patient relationship.

Yes! I created Golden Years, Glowing Health based on 15+ years of veterinary experience with thousands of senior dogs and am confident in the value you and your dog will receive. I want you to be completely confident that your decision is risk-free, so after enrolling you will have 14 days to complete the first module (including bonus material), submit your questions, access the community for support, and attend our first call. If you don’t think we’re a good fit, just let me know and I’ll refund your enrollment (and you’ll keep the bonus material for module 1).

Yes! Each week, you’ll receive one of the five course modules, along with any associated bonus material. You’ll have the week to go through the material, then at the end of the week we’ll have our group call to discuss the material together and go through your questions. The course is designed to take about an hour a week for 5 weeks of independent study, plus 60-90 minutes on the weekly call. There is an additional, optional bonus call for end of life decision making and questions, which you can attend at your discretion. You will have lifetime access to the course modules and bonus material, so you can review the material as often as you need to at your convenience.

All of our group calls are recorded, and replays are available to students to watch at your convenience. Additionally, I highly encourage you to submit questions by email ahead of our call whether you’re attending live or catching the replay, so that I can answer them during the call!

If you need a veterinarian to diagnose or prescribe medication for your dog, or you want 1:1 attention to medical concerns that require me to access your dog’s medical history, this is not for you. If you don’t want to join a community of like-minded senior pet parents, or you prefer to study independently and not participate in small-group coaching calls where you can ask questions, this program may not be the best fit for you.
