Expertise

I can answer all questions about canine nutrition. Topics such as, but not limited to: Supplements (vitamin/mineral, herbs, probiotics, digestive, etc) allergy diets, eliminating food sensitivities, weight gain, protein rotation, grain-free diets, homemade, raw including prey-model Raw Meaty Bones diet, BARF diet, etc. I help owners choose a diet plan that is suited to the dog, as well as to the owner's preferences. I can also give reviews or input on individual brands of food.

Experience

I am an advocate of a balanced natural raw diet. I worked for a holistic pet food company, and I sell super-premium pet foods, including kibble, canned, freeze-dried, and frozen raw. I am very familiar with many brand names of pet food, including the companies, the specific formulas and their differences, as well as the process of making pet food. I have fostered many rescue dogs, as well as my own dogs, and have come up with solutions to food allergies and different nutritional needs of each dog or puppy.

Publications

Education/Credentials
I have done extensive research on canine nutrition and holistic diet. I offer nutritional consultations to my clients, I am a professional dog trainer/behaviorist. I believe nutrition is the foundation of health, and goes along with a holistic approach to training a dog.
