Hello,

You may be wondering just who I am. So here’s a little bit of information…

• I am an independent nutritional advisor. In my spare time, I run this page and a small advisory business. I am not affiliated with any pet food company when I do this. However, for transparency, my full-time job is with a pet food company.
• I can offer unbiased, evidence-based advice on feeding dogs, cats or rabbits. For dogs and cats I have no bias one way or the other towards raw or dry food.
• I am fully insured to give nutritional advice and perform canine massage.

• Over 20 years’ experience in the pet food industry
• BSc Hons in Zoology, MSc Animal Nutrition
• Additional qualifications in both human and animal nutrition, including the certificate in Small Animal Nutrition from the European School of Postgraduate Veterinary Studies.
• Nationally recognised training qualification; City & Guilds Education & Training Award
• Nutritional advice changes with new research and advances in science, so I keep my knowledge updated with regular CPD.

• Assessment of your pet’s current diet.
• Unbiased advice on the best commercially available diet for your pet – raw, wet or dry food.
• Feeding amounts tailored to your individual pet.
• Feeding plans and support to help your pet lose weight.
• Information on how to understand pet food labels.
• Feeding puppies, kittens and young rabbits.
• Dietary advice for senior pets, including information on supplements for joints and canine cognitive dysfunction.
• Nutritional management of clinical conditions including heart, liver or kidney failure, pancreatitis, skin conditions, urinary tract disease, bloat (gastric dilatation volvulus) and gastrointestinal problems.
• Nutritional management of common endocrine disorders e.g. diabetes mellitus, exocrine disorders e.g. exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
• Management and prevention of common dietary-related conditions in rabbits, e.g. dental disease, GI stasis and flystrike.

• Canine body language and Facial expression
• Conditioning the canine athlete
• Stretching workshops
• Photo-therapy (infra-red /red light) for Animals

I also have a keen interest in rabbit health and behaviour (hence how this blog started) and love learning more about them. From my own experiences and nutrition knowledge, I’ve written two books on rabbits on the subjects of nutrition and bonding (introducing rabbits).

I’d have more rabbits if they were easier to introduce to each other but my current two are Dobby and Ginny (both rescues). I also share my life with my adopted dogs Theo and Otto, together we train in hoopers and scentwork.
