The Canine Nutritionist·Tuesday, 5 May 2020·
As a qualified Canine Nutritionist, I'm passionate about both dogs and their nutrition. My quest to improve the health of man’s best friend began somewhat late in life when my dog Marco became ill with what turned out to be a diet-related illness. It led me on a remarkable journey of discovery that saw me take responsibility for home-feeding and self-tr

eating my dogs to give them the happiest, healthiest, longest life possible. In so doing I took my knowledge and understanding of human fitness and nutrition and combined them with the study of canine nutrition to give me a deep understanding of what was best for man’s best friend.

So that's the top 5 ingredients in a bowl of kibble. Looks like digest, rice, fat, wheat and perhaps beet pulp or sawdust. Now compare that with the ingredients in this:

When people say kibble has everything a dog needs and is scientifically formulated, I like to imagine what the top 5 ingredients would look like in the bowl.

I understand why people feed kibble, but saying this is healthier than a balanced fresh food diet because of those points just doesn't hit right.

This bowl represents a formula of a well-known and respected brand for a popular breed.

Not to every dog's palate perhaps, but do try your best friend with the occasional slice of kiwi. No need to peel, no need to worry about it being a choking hazard, but plenty of juicy goodness in small, occasional quantities.

Today's Google AI Overview Nonsense.

"Store-bought mushrooms provide vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants, though they don't offer unique benefits that a balanced dog food doesn't already supply."

What a load of maitakes!

Another day, another sorry tale of a shamless vet/specialist vet duo using a client's pet insurance as their own personal money box. Anyone else out there feel their vet and specialist vet deliberately maxed out their pet insurance with spurious and totally unecessary tests? 😡

Estimates vary, but you can expect a dog to cost you in the region of £20,000 and conceivably a lot more throughout its lifetime. What if there was a way of halving that or more for less than the typical household supermarket shop?

New puppy guidance consultation with a qualified nutritionist can save you money and heartache in avoiding many common puppy health complaints.

About The Canine Nutritionist

My name is Gerald Pepin and I’m a qualified Canine Nutritionist, passionate about both dogs and their nutrition.

My quest to improve the health of man’s best friend began somewhat late in life when my dog Marco became ill with what turned out to be a diet-related illness.

It led me on a remarkable journey of discovery that saw me take responsibility for home-feeding and self-treating my dogs to give them the happiest, healthiest, longest life possible.

In so doing I took my knowledge and understanding of human fitness and nutrition and combined them with the study of canine nutrition to give me a deep understanding of what was best for man’s best friend.
