NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING FOR CATS & DOGS


Evidence-Based Nutrition. Personalized Recommendations. No Sales Pressure.

From choosing the right food for a puppy, a senior pet with individualized needs and everything in between, our nutrition consultations provide individualized guidance based on cutting edge scientific evidence and our expertise.

There are tons of ‘best pet food’ lists, influencer recommendations and ads that make these decisions difficult and that obfuscate important information.

Our team is comprised of a PhD, MS Nutritionist, certified Veterinary Technicians and a team with Animal Science education. This combination of expertise provides you real, unbiased information you need to make the best decisions for you and your pet.

Our goal is simple:
We’ll always tell you the truth about what’s best for your pet — even if that means recommending something we don’t sell.


Every pet is different. Age, breed, activity level, medical history, medications, digestive health, allergies, and even owner lifestyle all influence what the “best” diet looks like. That’s why there is no single food that’s right for every pet.

Unlike other ‘retailers’ we take a science-first approach to nutrition. We evaluate your pet’s unique needs and provide honest, evidence-based recommendations tailored specifically to them, even if it’s something we don’t carry. We are not affiliated with any pet food manufacturer, allowing us to recommend what we genuinely believe is in your pet’s best interest.

Nutrition Consultation

Perfect for healthy pets or owners looking to build a stronger nutritional foundation.

We’ll discuss:

  • Selecting the right food
  • Comparing brands objectively
  • Reading ingredient labels
  • Feeding amounts
  • Treat recommendations
  • Life-stage nutrition
  • Weight management basics
  • Transitioning foods safely

Ideal for puppies, kittens, newly adopted pets, or anyone wanting expert nutritional guidance.

Comprehensive Nutrition Consultation

Designed for pet owners seeking more in-depth nutritional guidance, particularly when their pet has unique dietary considerations.

We’ll review your pet’s current diet, feeding history, supplements, lifestyle, and any information you choose to share, such as veterinary diagnoses, medications, laboratory results, or your veterinarian’s recommendations. This context helps us provide nutrition-focused education and recommendations that align with your pet’s individual circumstances.

Common reasons pet owners request a Consultation include:

  • Digestive concerns
  • Food sensitivities or ingredient intolerances
  • Skin and coat concerns
  • Weight management
  • Senior pet nutrition
  • Prescription diet questions & alternatives
  • Home-prepared diet guidance
  • Supplement questions

You’ll receive individualized recommendations and educational resources intended to support informed feeding decisions. Our consultations are designed to complement your veterinarian’s care and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease, or replace veterinary medical advice.

Our expert staff is fully equipped to help address common issues, provide unbiased product recommendations and answer general questions. To arrange a session, please complete the form below and someone from our team will reach out to schedule.

Please note: Counseling sessions typically book 2-3 weeks out, but we will do our best to accommodate all requests as timely as possible.
