Meet our Dog Nutritionist

My passion for dog nutrition was ignited when my dog had his eye removed in January 2023 due to a tumour. Having worked in the fitness and health industry for a number of years, I understood that good nutrition was the foundation to a speedy recovery.

I began educating myself on canine nutrition to help him achieve optimal health and became so passionate about it, I completed a Canine Nutrigenomics Diploma and began sharing educational content to empower other dog owners like you.
