What we will look at
Our dog nutrition consultant will work closely with you to gather information about your dog’s specific needs, looking at areas like:
- Age and breed: Different life stages and breeds have varying nutritional requirements.
- Activity level: Active dogs need more calories and nutrients than less active ones.
- Health conditions: Certain health conditions can require specific dietary adjustments.
- Allergies: Identifying and avoiding food allergens is crucial to your dog’s well-being.
Based on this, we can then formulate a diet plan that meets your pet’s nutritional needs. This can involve:
- Choosing the right dog food: as a pet food expert, our canine nutritionist can help you select appropriate brands and formulas based on your pup’s specific requirements.
- Creating a homemade diet: we can also provide guidance on formulating balanced homemade meals, ensuring you use multiple ingredients to meet your dog’s nutritional needs.
- Addressing specific dietary concerns: finally, we can also help manage conditions like obesity, diabetes, or food allergies through dietary adjustments.
Frequently asked questions
We understand that there is lots to think about when managing your dog’s diet! Below we have covered some FAQs, but feel free to reach out if you have any more questions.
A canine or dog nutritionist is a qualified individual who specialises in creating balanced and suitable diets for dogs. They will have an extensive understanding of the dietary requirements and restrictions for a range of different breeds.
Through this knowledge, they can make a customised nutritional plan that will support your dog’s overall health and well-being.
There are a range of benefits that come with implementing a healthy and nutritious diet for your pup through a pet nutritionist. Some of those include:
- Weight loss and maintance: having a dog that is a healthy weight can avoid a range of health implications that can arise from being overweight.
- Coat and skin health: a well-balanced diet can ensure your dog has a nice shiny coat, as well as skin that isn’t prone to irritation.
- Energy levels: a range of nutrients will contribute to energy levels, which can help ensure your pup is ready for any exercise, like a nice morning walk.
- Healthy joints: as they age, your dog’s joints will become weaker, just like a human’s. By giving them the right food you can help maintain healthy joint function and potentially delay the onset of age-related joint issues like arthritis.
