I knew this was what I wanted to do, I wanted to help pets be as healthy as possible, I was so frustrated and felt sad every day having to work with dogs who were struggling with all sorts of problems. I was also really angry, angry that our pets are suffering because of outdated…

Yet they’ve never tried a nutrition consultant!

They’ve tried all sorts of diets, supplements, been back and forth to the vets, spent a fortune having tests done. Become stressed. frustrated, upset and eventually feel hopeless.

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.

Why You Shouldn’t Clean Your Pet’s Ears Regularly

-
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.
-
As your pets age it’s important to try to support them as much as possible. Diet is a vital part of this and some easy adaptations can make a huge difference.
-
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
-
There’s something so precious about elderly dogs and it’s such a privilege to be able to care for them in their later years. As dogs age, the grooming process needs to be adapted in order for them to cope, as well as ensure their safety.
-
Does your pet suffer with anal gland problems? It’s a common issue and one which I think is often made worse because the cause is not usually addressed.
-
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!
