Clinical Nutrition & Weight Management Services for Cats & Dogs

Basic nutrition and weight management guidance is always FREE for training clients.

Feeling overwhelmed by the raw food trend? Stuck between grain and grain-free? Unsure if you’re feeding the right amount, or even the right food? I’m here to help!

100% Evidence-Based Guidance, 0% Pseudoscience
My mission is to understand everything I can about how to take the best possible care of both cats and dogs. That’s not easy in an industry saturated with marketing and misinformation—not just in food, but in every corner of pet care.

I’m meticulous in my approach and only make recommendations I can stand behind. I do not suggest supplements unless there is strong, high-quality research with large participant groups supporting their safety and effectiveness.

What can you help me with?

  • Nutritionally-balanced homemade recipes

  • Weight loss plan formulation
    Includes ideal weight estimation, feeding amounts, goal timeline, and tips to help your pet feel satisfied while dieting.

  • Daily intake calculation
    Appropriate portions for both food and treats to maintain a healthy weight.

  • Shopping guidance
    Need help picking the right food from a specific store or within a budget? I’ve got you covered.

  • General pet food education
    Understand bioavailability, pros and cons of food types, what goes into a high-quality food, and other information that will help you make the best choices for your pet.

  • Elimination-challenge diet trials
    The gold standard for identifying food triggers.

  • Support for picky eaters
    Solutions tailored to your dog’s preferences and behavioral tendencies.

  • Feeding enrichment
    Recommendations for food puzzles, slow feeders, and homemade enrichment ideas to make mealtime more engaging.

  • Low-calorie treat ideas
    Keep training fun and tasty without overloading on calories.

…and more! I am happy to review either commercial, homemade, or raw diets. I understand homemade or raw diets are not an option for everyone so I’m happy to help pick out a great commercial food that works for you and your dog.
