Health Support & Diet

Evaluate the Diet

Of course, I feel that nutrition is foundational, and for me, optimal nutrition is based on three core ideas.

1. 1. One, all nutrients must be provided for your dog at levels that meet or exceed his or her requirements.
   2. Two, the best quality foods and supplements should be used to provide these needs.
   3. Three, the type of diet, the macronutrient balance must be suited to the individual dog.

I don’t take a stance that raw is superior or cooked is always ideal, because we don’t have the science to support such claims-  and extensive consulting experience and research shows me that dogs do well on cooked and raw, with some leaning one way or the other, and many can do both. The real science of nutrition is clear that no one method of feeding is always “superior” or optimal. That said, the three pillars of my approach – nutrient adequacy, wholesome foods and attention to bioindividuality, are key.
