Evidence-led nutritional support for your patients
Clinical Nutrition Support for Veterinary Practices
At the dogs kitchen, I provide para-professional support for veterinary teams who want trusted, evidence-informed nutrition guidance for their patients. My work complements your clinical decision-making and helps pet owners implement dietary plans safely, clearly, and consistently. I work collaboratively with practices across Cheshire, Wirral and the wider UK, supporting referrals for chronic conditions, complex cases, and dogs requiring guided nutritional support.
How I Can Support Your Practice
1. Case Specific Dietary Evaluations
Clear, structured dietary assessments for complex conditions including:
Chronic kidney disease (early–advanced), Pancreatitis and post-pancreatitis recovery, Obesity and weight management, struvite management, chronic gut dysbiosis, allergies and food intolerances, liver support, senior dogs and cognitive health
Each evaluation includes a full review of the dog’s current diet, micronutrient assessment, macronutrient suitability, and owner feeding approach with recommendations aligned to FEDIAF guidelines and Small Animal Clinical Nutrition principles
2. Professionally Formulated Raw, Cooked or Hybrid Diets
For cases where formulation is required I create personalised recipes ensuring clinical dietary targets, owner constraints, and veterinary direction is included. Diets are designed to complement your medical plan.
3. Microbiome Testing & Interpretation
I provide detailed dietary support plans to accompany Biome 4 Pets Microbiome tests. Reports include tailored nutrition support, gut-supportive strategies, and a follow-up plan all summarised for your records.
4. Botanical Self-Selection (Applied Zoopharmacognosy)
Offered in 2026, this natural modality provides an additional layer of behaviour and nutrition support. This is a complementary therapy designed to help inform the full ecosystem picture, supporting veterinary care plans.
