I started following the Dogist a long time ago because of my love of dogs, but I kept following it mainly because of Kate's raw honesty, your charming wit and lately, Jackie's refreshing sarcasm. You three, and the dog content, made my ordinary days fill with gratitude and laughter, and my made my bad days feel less isolated. You helped me discover so many more amazing dog content and creators and it breaks my heart you're being repaid like this. Please know that all your hard work was absolutely not in vain, that you touched so many many people around the world that will forever be grateful to you three and will continue being eternally loyal to you in whatever new adventure awaits in the future.

We love you and stand by your side!

We are all shocked along with you. I have loved the Dogist and every offshoot of it for a long time and certainly hope that this will have all been for good. At this moment I just feel heartbroken for you all. I wish you and the rest of the staff the absolute best going forward.

I stand with the girls who were formerly the heart and soul of @thedogist team. You will survive girls!

There is grief in a job ending, absolutely. So mourn it as the loss that it is. It also sounds like it was an extra complicated break, and I'm really sorry to hear that.

I was in a similar spot 5 years ago, funnily enough a few days after turning 30. And I felt that excitement mixed with fear and anxiety and hope. It is all wide open for you now, and that's exciting.

We'll be here for whatever you do next, I'm sure of that ❤️

Without you, Jacquie and Kate, The Dogist lost its heart and soul. Without you three there is no Dogist. I've totally lost all respect for Elias and will be donating all my Dogist gear to charity. Don't want to advertise a company I can no longer support.

Heartbroken and disappointed in the outcome of this in terms of the Dogist. But honestly, you and the other women are made of magic and now that y'all are free, I'm excited to see how much farther you all spread that magic. 💜

My whole life flipped over just a few months before I turned 30 too. Lost my job, my apartment, and a 4-year relationship in the same week. Five years later, everything has turned out better than I could’ve ever imagine, and I know it will for you too. You’re a smart, creative woman who’s not afraid to work hard and you have great people (and Simon, of course) in your corner. ❤️

What resonates the most in what you wrote is the loss of friendship and trust. Truly heartbreaking.

Safe to say we were all just as shocked to hear the news, but are also still right beside you just the same as before ❤️ the dogist may have led us all to you, but we remain following because of YOU. Sending so much love and support during this time and just know, whatever is next...will be amazing. Hard...but amazing. Take the free time to discover and explore in ways you couldn’t before. It will take some time to process, naturally and rightfully so...but my goodness are you not alone in any of it. The good, the bad, and everything else in between. You have an entire community behind you guys ❤️
