Spot On Canine Nutrition

Jody Zesko, located in Calgary, Canada, 🇨🇦 collaborates with dog owners globally 🌏 who seek impartial and expert nutrition advice.

A science-based approach to nutrition is the effective way to achieve optimal health. I formulate proactive diets (raw & cooked) for healthy dogs and have years of experience with diets for dogs who need more health support such as kidney, liver, GI, pancreatitis, cushings, urinary, food intolerances, cancer, cognition/behavioral concerns, weight loss and more. All personalized fresh food diets ar

e balanced to NRC (National Research Council) guidelines. My goal is to formulate a diet that works not only for the dog, but takes into account the owner's time, degree of experience in preparing fresh food diets, budget and overall goals. Optimal health for your dog, peace of mind for you. Please check out my website for more info. on consult descriptions, pricing, blog posts and client feedback.

✨ 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴’𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻? ✨

When you’re adding new foods or transitioning your dog to a whole new diet, it’s not just the food that matters. Several factors impact how long it takes for meals to move through the digestive tract:

▶️ 𝗗𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
▶️ 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁
▶️ 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲
▶️ 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲
▶️ 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲! 🐕‍🦺💨

💡 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿: 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 = 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. For highly active dogs and canine athletes, this often means softer or sloppy stools during a diet change.

Even if your dog is used to intense training, it still counts as a stressor when combined with dietary adjustments and changes in gut flora.

👉 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆: If your dog’s stools get soft during a diet change, don’t just blame the food. Sometimes reducing workouts during the transition makes all the difference.

During diet transitions, it often helps to swap intense physical exercise for 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 like:
🧩 Food puzzles
🐶 Trick training
👃 Nosework games

📌 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: For performance dogs, fall/winter (or when activity is lower) is often the perfect time to make diet changes. Calories often need adjusting then too, so it’s an ideal moment to reassess the whole diet and supportive supplements.

🐾 A smoother transition = a healthier gut + better performance long term.

✨ ATTENTION DOG PARENTS: Seasonal Allergies Are Coming! ✨

🍂 I know… no one wants to talk about Fall yet! But if your dog struggles with itchy skin, runny eyes, constant scratching, or paw licking this time of year, now is the time to get ahead of it.

When pollens, molds, and dust rise, your dog’s mast cells (found in the skin, respiratory tract, and gut) release histamine in response. That histamine = inflammation, which drives allergy symptoms.

💊 Enter Quercetin – sometimes called “nature’s Benadryl.”
It’s a flavonoid + powerful antioxidant that helps block histamine production and release.
⚡ Bonus: The enzyme bromelain boosts absorption of quercetin, so look for supplements that include both. (Comment below if you’d like my recommended product link!)

⸻

✅ Proactive Steps You Can Start Now
1. Quercetin → starting dose 20–25 mg per kg of body weight (always build up slowly, divide between two meals).
2. Dust & vacuum more often to lower allergen load indoors.
3. Watch open windows – they let in pollen and mold spores.
4. Invest in a HEPA air purifier to keep allergens down.
5. Wipe paws (and even coat) with a damp towel after outdoor walks.
6. Quick cool rinses help remove pollens/dust from skin and coat.

📌 Pro tip: Mast cells also live in the digestive tract. Many dogs with environmental allergies also react to foods. A temporary shift to a limited-ingredient diet (single protein + single carb) can help lower their overall allergy threshold during high-allergen seasons.

🥦 Did you know? Ounce for ounce, broccoli florets and stalks contain almost the same nutrients!

✨ The florets are the star of the show—they pack more vitamin A and provide sulforaphane, a powerful compound with cancer-protective benefits. That’s why I often include them in canine diets.

💡 Feeding tips:
• Pulverize or finely chop florets to blend into meals.
• Lightly steam if your dog needs a gentler texture.
• For picky eaters, pulse in the food processor and mix into ground meats to “sneak” in the goodness.

🛑 But don’t toss the stalks! Once peeled, they make a crunchy, low-cost treat alternative to carrots. You can also steam and chop them, or serve raw and pulverized for an easy, nutrient-rich bowl boost.

👉 Both florets and stalks have their place—together, they’re a simple way to level up your dog’s fresh food bowl.

Every time someone shares a post, tags a page in a group, or recommends a consultant to a friend—it truly makes a difference. Independent consultants, like small local shops, exist because of support from people like you.

With more software, cookbooks, and “DIY” plans out there, it’s easy to forget the value of one-on-one guidance. For dogs with unique needs, nothing replaces personalized nutrition support—so don’t take for granted that consultants will always be in this space.

And based on the questions I often get from dog parents, I notice many are focused on how many recipes they’ll receive in a consult—without realizing the real value lies in having a real person there to provide real support, tailored to their dog. That’s something no book or software can give.

That includes me—your shares, tags, and recommendations make it possible for me to keep helping dogs one-on-one.

If you want to help keep this work alive, here are a few simple ways:
🐾 Share posts you find helpful
🐾 Tag nutrition businesses in health discussions
🐾 Recommend them to friends with dogs

Little things add up—and they’re what make it possible to keep providing tailored care for the dogs who need it most. 💚

🐾 Meet Lily! 🐾

This beautiful Pyrenees cross recently turned one, and her family is excited to take the next step with her — starting her very own big girl fresh-cooked diet! 🍲🐶

They can’t wait to prepare clean, healthy, and balanced homemade meals, and I’m looking forward to guiding them through this journey.

Let’s cheer Lily on as she begins her fresh food adventure. 🐾✨

𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴’𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀:

🥰Another benefit that doesn’t get as much attention is the wonderful bond you feel with your dog when you create their food from scratch. Watching your four-legged family member dance and lick their bowl clean after a meal you prepared, is so rewarding. That feeling you get when others enjoy a special meal you cooked- yep, you feel that with your dog too, and there’s much less pressure for great presentation! 😊

✨I do feel there’s an unmeasurable element of positive energy that goes into your dog’s bowl when you’ve contributed to the meals they eat. Even if you don’t fully make their meals, don’t underestimate the benefits for you and your dog, when you add fresh foods that you’ve prepared.

🌱 Could there be a more intriguing vegetable than Romanesco? I don’t think so! I spotted this beauty at my local farmer’s market and had to stop and admire its alien-like fractal pattern. 👽✨

It often gets compared to cauliflower (they’re both part of the Brassica family), but Romanesco has its own personality:
🔸 Both are low-cal (25 kcal per 100g) and packed with glucosinolates + carotenoids.
🔸 Romanesco brings a nutty, earthy flavor and a little extra vitamin C + carotenoids.
🔸 Cauliflower edges ahead with folate + choline.

I’ve only tried Romanesco grilled so far—and loved it! You can also eat it raw: it’s crisp, slightly nutty, and great in salads or dipped. When buying, look for bright green, dense heads with firm stems (skip any with brown spots). Just like cauliflower, don’t overcook or it’ll go mushy.

🐾 And if you share a little with your dog, keep it simple—cooked until tender works well. If you want to try feeding it raw, grate it into tiny pieces so it’s easier for them to digest.

Have you tried this fascinating veggie yet? How do you like to prepare it? Feel free to share your tips!

🥒 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘇𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻!

If your garden is overflowing — or your neighbour just won’t stop gifting you zucchinis — here’s some good news: 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼𝗼!

𝗭𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵, 𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿. That’s why even veggie-skeptical dogs often accept it… and why you can sneak it into meals without much fuss.

It’s softer than many other raw veggies, making it a nice option for senior dogs or those missing a few teeth.

💡 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗸: 1 oz of raw zucchini has 74mg of potassium (for reference, 1 oz of banana has 100mg) — plus it’s a 𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗼𝘅𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗴, a smart choice for breeds prone to calcium oxalate stones like Mini Schnauzers, Yorkies, Bichons, Lhasa Apsos, and Shih Tzus.

🌿 Turn your garden bounty into a pup-friendly snack — one zoodle at a time. Serve it raw in slices, spiral it like noodles for fun, or lightly steam it. However you share it, zucchini is a fresh, healthy summer treat for your pup. 🐾

💸 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴’𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁?

If you’re adding 3–4 powders, oils and/or pills a day to your dog's dry food but think fresh food is “too expensive,” here’s a thought:
👀 Add up what you spend on those extras.
🍲 Could that money go toward upgrading the actual food instead?

Lately, I’m seeing more and more bowls piled high with enzymes, probiotics, mushroom blends, spirulina… you name it. But here’s the thing—healthy dogs don’t need a long list of functional supplements on top of an already balanced diet.

And if you are already feeding fresh and still adding them all, ask yourself:
➡️ 𝗜𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲?
➡️ 𝗢𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 “𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁”?

𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: Many of the diets I formulate do include multiple supplements—but those are diet-balancing nutrients like calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, etc. They ensure the recipe actually meets your dog’s needs. That’s a big difference from adding “extras” marketed for general health or longevity without a specific nutritional reason.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿—whether it’s an influencer or even a veterinarian recommending it, they’re often still selling something. That doesn’t automatically make it bad, but it does mean you should pause and think before buying.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗽:
1️⃣ 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱—ideally fresh food (even partial fresh makes a difference).
2️⃣ 𝗢𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱, 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲—either to balance the diet or address a specific health need. Being proactive is great, but we don't always need a ton of supplements. 🥚🥦🥩Fresh food additions—like antioxidant rich veggies, quality proteins, and healthy fats—can make a wonderful impact on your dog’s health.

✨ 𝗜𝗳 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗱, 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁-𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗲-𝘁𝗼-𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿—𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲. 🐾

Fermented foods can be a fantastic way to give your dog’s gut health a natural boost — all it takes is a small amount to make a difference. 🐾

🦠 𝗚𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, influencing digestion, nutrient absorption, skin health, and immune function. Foods like sauerkraut are packed with probiotics — the good bacteria that help keep your dog’s microbiome balanced.

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 sauerkraut can contain 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟴 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 of beneficial bacteria? That’s like sending in a whole team of microscopic helpers to keep your dog’s digestive system happy and healthy.

🛒 Shopping tip:
𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗮𝘂𝗲𝗿𝗸𝗿𝗮𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹. The kind you want for your dog lives in the refrigerated section — this version hasn’t been pasteurized, so the beneficial bacteria are still alive and ready to do their job. Check the ingredients list: it should be short and simple — just cabbage and salt. No vinegar, no sugar, no preservatives.

💡 How to serve:
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 mixed into your dog’s food. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘂𝗽𝘀𝗲𝘁.

✨ Trying to reduce shedding? Oils can help — but they’re not the whole story.

Most people jump straight to fish oil when their dog is shedding more than usual. And yes, 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘴 matter — but skin and coat health depends on 𝘢 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, not just fats.

‼️ If you’re adding oils to an unbalanced diet, it might look like it’s working at first… but over time, the lack of other key nutrients will show.

🔑 𝘕𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨:
• 𝘌𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘴 — support the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and improve coat quality. But the balance matters: aim for an omega 6:3 ratio between 𝟮:𝟭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝟱:𝟭.
• 𝘡𝘪𝘯𝘤 — crucial for skin cell turnover, wound healing, and managing inflammation. Deficiency can cause flakiness, hair loss, and poor coat texture.
• 𝘉 𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘴 — especially biotin, niacin, and B6 — help maintain skin structure, promote healthy hair growth, and support energy production in skin cells. Low levels can lead to dry, dull coats and excessive shedding.

🐟 If you’re using fish oil:
• Choose a 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩-𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝟹𝘳𝘥-𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 product
• 𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘴 are better than liquids (less exposure to air = less oxidation)
• If using liquid, store it in the 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘨𝘦, in a 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦, and don’t keep it for months

⚠️ Adding fish and plant oils on top of a diet that’s missing foundational nutrients can throw off the balance and 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘯 the problem.

🍂 Shedding increases naturally in 𝘴𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭 — but if your dog sheds 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳-𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥, it may be a sign of deeper issues. Start with a vet check, then assess the diet.

⚖️ A properly balanced 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘵 supports skin from the inside out — not just with fats, but with 𝘢𝘭𝘭 the nutrients your dog needs to maintain a healthy coat.
