It starts with your dog’s diet……. But ends with you!
I am a vet with a true love of nutrition. I love nurturing my pets, my patients, and my own family through healthful, wholefood nutrition. This is my why.
So often, clients come to me saying: “I read on Facebook / Insta / TikTok that it was good to feed my dog raw. Can you help me do this for Rusty?”
And my heart swells. The discussion begins.
Because this conversation is about so much more than just cooked vs uncooked food.
It’s about true nourishment, giving your dog or cat’s body everything it needs to become, and to remain, vibrant and healthy.
Yes, we talk macronutrients and micronutrients, balance, variety, just as we would in any dietary review. But we also go deeper.
We talk about the hidden problems in modern food: pesticides, fertilisers, glyphosate, endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, microplastics, mould toxins.
We explore the very real impact these can have: obesity, arthritis, cancer, hormone disruption, allergies, gut issues, autoimmune disease, anxiety, poor coat health, low energy, recurring injuries.
Then, we begin to rebuild.
We talk about the choices that empower us, choosing wholefoods, organic produce, ethically raised proteins, minimally processed diets, plastic-free packaging, and food with lower environmental impact.
We talk about lifestyle too, letting pets touch the soil, feel the grass, bask in the sun. Giving them exercise, purpose, novelty.
This is a big conversation. One that lights people up. One that opens a new way of thinking about their pet’s health.
And somewhere along the way, I often see it.
That moment of realisation. A gentle redirection of their attention.
Some ask it out loud. Others ponder it later at home.
"Wait… should I be doing this for myself too?”
