Why would you need a pet nutritionist?

I’m sure that you know that good nutrition is the basis for a healthy life; But do you know what does good nutrition made of? As a pet nutritionist, I’m here to share my knowledge with you.

“Why should I need a pet nutritionist?”

This question is probably on your mind as you are reading this article; Indeed an important question!

My answer is simple – every pet owner has questions regarding his pet’s nutrition. They can be big or small. Specific or general. And this is obvious because nobody expect everybody to have the same knowledge as a certified pet nutritionist.

For Instance, did you know that adding veggies three times a week may reduce the risk of cancer for your pet?

Or that, contrary to popular belief, kibble which is filled with carbohydrates can lead to plaque build up on your dog’s teeth?

There is so much to know – food preparation, storage, protein digestibility, what are antioxidants, feeding table scraps, why kibble isn’t healthy for cats, how much to feed, supplements for arthritis and inflammation ….. and the list goes on and on!

Small changes, big difference

I’m here to share my knowledge with all you pet owners out there. I became a pet nutritionist because I love animals and I saw first hand the difference good nutrition can do for a sick dog. I want your pets to be healthy and enjoy their foods. This can only be done if you, pet owners, will have the information to make educated and informed diet choices.

It doesn’t even matter what you currently feed – kibble, canned, dehydrated, etc. – there is something to gain for everyone.

As a pet nutritionist, which believes in real home made food (Yep, people food), I’m not gonna tell you that feeding kibble or canned food is ok; BUT, I do understand that transferring to home cooked isn’t possible for every one. Still, I can help you understand the labels better, choose another type of commercial food and help you limit your pet’s exposure to processed food by combining both it and real food.

There are so much small changes that you can do – add fresh vegetables, bake treats instead of buying commercial ones, change one meal a day to home cooked (think how much you will save by using left overs), add Omega 3  and herbs, upgrade from extruded kibble to baked, and so much more.

Trust me, the smallest change you will be able to make will make a world of difference for your pet.

Be an involved owner

I want you to get more involved in your pet’s diet, ask questions and read. Don’t simply buy a bag/pouch/can of food and drop it in the bowl. Your furry four legged family member deserves the same effort in choosing its food as you invest in yours.

I’m here for any question you might have, don’t dismiss anything as being too small or silly.

You are welcome to ask questions via email or messages and of course, you can choose a consultation.
