Class Experience

This course looks at the nutritional needs of our favorite canine companions! From healthy veggie snacks to fun protein options, and healthy supplements. We'll dive into what their bodies and minds need and ways to bond with them over food! 

You'll see my own dogs on camera in class trying the same foods we are talking about that week! Taste test time!! 

* Class runs reviews each week so students may join, pause, leave, and come back without missing any information. *

(I will also be adding in tips for our kitty friends too on topic days where those foods are also recommended for felines.)

This class follows through the nutrition guide by Dr. Karen Becker and my own holistic vet that we've used for our pets over the last 3 years. I have completed several nutrition courses and animal communication courses myself as well. 

This class is meant to be educational in nature, talking about nutrition in general and is not intended to be veterinary advice. 

***Please keep in mind the safety and concern of your own pets. Feed treats in small bite-sized pieces, and only introduce one new food at a time in case of allergic reaction or GI upset.

I have 3 dogs - we use our holistic vet for our crazy weird nutritional plan! 
Our vet went to college with Dr. Karen Becker who is now a world-renowned vet who just published 2 of her own books breaking down the detailed needs of pets, what to feed them, and why! Fascinating topics deserve a class all of their own!
