Welcome to Nutrition for Dogs

Nutrition is the foundation for health. It provides the essential fuel, building blocks, and regulatory substances your dog’s body needs to maintain cells, heal tissues, and sustain daily life. Proper nutrition prevents illness and provides the energy required to thrive.

Every dog is unique, and their nutritional needs can change dramatically based on their age, breed, daily activity levels and health status.

The one size fits all approach is not working when it comes to our pet’s health and nutrition, so Nutrition for Dogs offer tailored support for your individual dog’s nutritional needs.

Dog Nutrition
Canine Health and Nutrition

Seeing a canine nutritionist helps ensure your dog's diet is nutritionally balanced and tailored to their physical and medical needs.

Nutritionists eliminate the guesswork from choosing commercial foods or support you to formulate homemade recipes, while preventing nutrient deficiencies or excesses.

Canine Nutritionists can also work alongside your vet to create elimination diet plans, identify dietary triggers or to formulate diets for specific health conditions.

What Our Customers Say

Vicky's knowledge of raw and natural foods for dogs and cats is second to none. I have a 10-week-old border terrier pup and a 13-year-old border terrier.

When I visited Vicky for advice on raw feeding, she was absolutely amazing. She was 100% spot on and extremely helpful. Helen

When we got our puppy her stomach was unsettled and we couldn't figure out why. We spoke to Vicky she identified her diet as the trigger and advised what to change. Her tummy settled and we have had no problems since. Kayleigh
