As with humans, dogs need a nutritious, and balanced diet, to be their best both mentally and physically.
Unable to make their own choices of diet, as their owners we are responsible for what they eat. By providing a nutritious diet, we may be rewarded with a companion who is fit, healthy and who hopefully will live a long and happy life. Many conditions that are seen by vets, are as a result of what is consumed by dogs, and obesity is on the increase in dogs which can lead to a number of serious health issues. These can be physical and psychological. Often, by amending a dog's diet just a little, to ensure they are receiving better nutrition it result in reducing the risk of long-term or life-threatening conditions. Meals can be supplemented, or changed, to help support many medical conditions
Diet has been shown to have an affect on a dog's normal behaviour and a dog that is in pain, or not feeling well, may communicate this with undesirable behaviours. It is a consideration where there is a behavioural issue, general health concern, or to better support a known condition. I have a particular interest in diet to reduce reactions to allergies, kidney disease and joint support.

What People Say
Toni has supported me with the diet of my HWV who, although loved the food he had been on since a puppy, remained very lean and ribby. She gave guidance when I asked questions about moving him to raw, something I knew nothing about. She provided examples without pushing any one supplier. She supported me during the transition and has continued to provide support when there have been a couple of hiccups. Pleased to say he is now thriving with people commenting on how well he looks. Thank you Toni.

I can not thank Toni enough for all her help in changing Willows diet and helping her with her painful skin. Since seeing Toni, Willows skin has improved so much. Toni is extremely knowledgeable and friendly and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her.
