Canine nutrition classes are here! 🐕🥦🥕

Super excited to announce I am rolling out a few online canine nutrition classes starting next Tuesday 5/21 at 6p. We will meet on zoom, and there will be opportunities to ask questions during each class 🤓

Each class will be 60-90 minutes. Zoom links will be emailed out before each class. Recordings will be emailed afterwards.

Class 1: Overview
5/21 at 6p EST
- Learn not just what dogs need to eat but WHY from an evolutionary and biological standpoint. We will also discuss issues surrounding the commercial pet food industry and nutrition education programs in veterinary medicine.

Class 2: Microbiome
5/28 at 6p EST
- The key to wellness at every level is a balanced microbiome. The bacteria in your dog's gut play a significant role in regulating cellular function, immune response, brain chemicals like serotonin, even preventing cancer. If your dog has allergy/digestive issues the vets can't seem to solve, you don't want to miss this!

Class 3: Current Recommendations
6/4 at 6p EST
- How I structure nutrition programs, including current products I use and love, as well as how/why I chose them. Formulations are always changing so while I can't guarantee I'll stand by any of these products in the future, I can teach you how to evaluate labels and make your own informed choices.

Classes are $15 each or $40 for the series. Venmo payment to or contact [email protected] for more payment options.

First snow at the new Dog Nerd HQ ❄️🐾 and we took full advantage! You can hear it melting from the tree tops 👂 while Clemmy runs and chases some of the drips 🤣

We recently relocated our HQ to Caroline County VA out in the country and are now seeing clients in VA, MD, DC, and still in PA 🚗 and have expanded capacity for boarding, as well as a beautiful private wooded property for working dogs 🌳🌲😍 the pack definitely approves!

The new dog room will be finished very shortly, and then I'll have lots of new cute faces to introduce you to 🐶🐩🐕

Great video on ways to keep your dog from jumping on people!

Many dogs want to jump on other people. This can be unwelcome at the least and a safety issue for that other person at most. My dad lives in a mostly senio...
