As a canine nutritionist, one of the things I help pet guardians with is understanding what’s actually in their pet’s food. Knowing how to decipher your pet food label and understanding what you’re feeding is one of the most valuable things you can do for your dog or cat’s health. Here are some reasons why…

Why you need to act sooner rather than later… As a canine nutritionist, one of the most common challenges I see is dogs carrying more weight than is healthy for their body. While a little extra around the middle might seem harmless, the consequences of excess weight are far more serious than many realise. It’s…

A parasite treatment protocol should be based on the individual animal, their risk and their environment.

Many people assume the ‘happy hormone’ serotonin is produced in the brain, in fact 90% is produced in the gut, hence why it’s vital to have a healthy gut. If gut health is compromised, production of serotonin will also suffer.

Supplements can be hugely beneficial for our pets, but their effectiveness and safety depend on the specific supplement and the individual pet’s health needs

When our dogs don’t want to eat something there will be a reason. They are trying to communicate this with us. We need to take these opportunities to listen to our pets and try to support.

Every single thing that enters your pets mouth has the ability to heal or harm them and I think this is hugely underestimated. We literally have the ability to avoid so much pain and anguish for them and us as well as saving ourselves a small fortune in veterinary bills.

Puppy’s require the correct, balanced nutrition to ensure they receive the vital components for growth. Your puppy is growing rapidly and will require nutritional support to ensure this growth is not compromised. Brain function, bone strength and immunity are just a few of the functions that will be affected by diet

The answer is not that simple, there is no ‘one size fits all’. This is because every pet is unique, as are their nutritional requirements. In the same way that you, your family members and friends all have different tastes, likes and dislikes, your pet is no different.

We all want our pets to age comfortably with minimal pain, discomfort and vet visits! However, I often find owners are quite accepting of some of their pets age related issues and are maybe unaware that many of these could be prevented earlier on or at least managed in order to support the process

It turns out her behaviourist was absolutely right. It was a brain issue… but caused by the gut. You may have heard about the gut-brain axis?

Allowing our pets outside in nature to get their feet and noses in the soil is great for their biome. Next time your dog annoys you by digging holes or burying bones, think of the positive effect it’ll be having on their microbial diversity!
