Canine Nutrition

Nutrition is one of the most powerful, yet most misunderstood, aspects of your dog’s health.

From the microbiome to micronutrients, from digestive function to immune health, nutrition underpins almost every system in the body. It is also one of the most marketing-heavy and confusing industries, making it incredibly difficult for guardians to know what is genuinely evidence-based and what is simply clever advertising.

What and how your dog eats impacts both their physical and mental health. Diet can influence energy levels, weight, skin and coat condition, gastrointestinal comfort, joint health, inflammation, cognition, mood and even behaviour. Yet there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Every dog has a unique combination of genetics, health status, lifestyle, environment and preferences that must be considered when designing an appropriate diet.

Our nutritionists are regarded as some of the most knowledgeable and current in the country, with up-to-date certifications, rigorous continuing education and a strong commitment to research-led practice. Their role is to help you cut through the noise, evaluate what is truly appropriate for your individual dog and build a plan that supports long-term health, comfort and resilience.

Great nutrition does not have to break the bank. Our nutrition team will always work within your budget and lifestyle, balancing clinical needs with what is realistic and sustainable for your household. The goal is not perfection on paper, but a practical, welfare-centred plan that genuinely works for you and your dog.

Don’t rely on marketing claims or social media trends. Seek expert advice. With the right nutritional support, you can make a significant and lasting difference to your dog’s comfort, health and overall quality of life.
