How it works

We email you a sign-in link. No password or account.

Your name as licensed, state and license number, and practice. We check your license with the state board and never publish the number.

Short steps, oven temperature, time and cooling.

Room temperature, fridge or freezer, and for how long.
- Who it's for
Dog sizes and life stages, plus an optional tip for owners.
- Check and send
Review, confirm and send. An editor replies within 5 business days.
Short on time? You'll also be able to send a photo of your recipe card and we'll type it in for you.
What happens after you send it
- A named VanillaGoods editor checks every ingredient against our safety records. Ingredients like chocolate, xylitol, grapes and raisins, alcohol and extracts, and raw animal products can't be used.
- We bake every recipe in the VanillaGoods kitchen, exactly as written.
- You approve the final version before it's published. Recipes usually go live within 30 days of approval.
- You can withdraw a recipe or your profile at any time. We remove it within 5 business days.
What we publish about you
Only what you switch on: your name and degree, practice name, city and state, website, booking link, practice phone, a photo, a short bio, interests and languages. We also say when we checked your license with the state board.
Never published: your license number, personal email or phone, or any of the records we keep to verify you. Those stay in a private file and never go into our website system.
The note we show with every recipe
Dr. [Name] contributed this recipe as an unpaid volunteer. In return, VanillaGoods lists Dr. [Name]'s practice information on this site. Dr. [Name] does not endorse VanillaGoods products, and this recipe is general information, not veterinary advice for your dog.
Our promises
- No money changes hands for referrals, sales or discount codes, either way.
- We never call a recipe "vet approved", and we never make health claims. These are treats, not meals or diets.
- No "ask the vet" channel. Owners are always told to ask their own veterinarian.
- VanillaGoods products are never placed next to your name, and recipes never suggest our vanilla extract.
- No patient photos, and no association logos that suggest an endorsement.
