================================================================
In each consultation, my goal is to educate and empower you to feel confident in what you’re feeding to your dog. I provide tailored, individual recommendations based on your dog’s specific needs. If I don’t stock a product that’s right for your dog, I’ll point you in the direction of where you can find it, If I believe that fresh or raw feeding will not suit you or your dog, I will support you within what is right for you and your dog—because it’s all about what’s best for your dog.
Dogs are my passion, my life, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to help more dogs than just my own.
Let’s work together to help you better understand how to meet your dog’s nutritional needs and give them the best care possible!
