Why DogHealthStack exists
DogHealthStack started with one dog and one question: how do you help a dog you love stay healthy, active, comfortable, and happy for as many years as possible? The pet world is full of single products making big promises, but health doesn't work like that. It's a system — nutrition, weight, movement, mobility, preventive care, dental health, supplements, monitoring, environment, and the support a dog needs as they age, all working together.
I build and write DogHealthStack to organize that thinking into something practical: the Doggevity™ framework. The goal isn't to replace your veterinarian — it's to help you show up to that relationship with better questions and a clearer plan.
Luna's role
Luna, my French Bulldog, is the living case study behind the site. Luna's Lab™ documents the real-world routines, product tests, and vet questions we work through as we build and adjust her health system. Every recommendation on DogHealthStack passes one test: would I build it into Luna's stack? When I try something that doesn't work, that goes in Luna's Lab too — honesty is the whole point.
A systems approach, not medical advice
My background is in systems thinking, health optimization, and independent product research — not veterinary medicine. That shapes what DogHealthStack is and isn't. It's strong on organizing decisions, comparing options, and asking good questions. It is not, and never will be, a source of diagnosis or treatment. For anything involving your dog's diet, supplements, medication, exercise, or care plan, your veterinarian is the expert who knows your individual dog.
