Diet Analysis
Not sure if your dog's current diet is providing optimal nutrition? This service will uncover possible nutritional shortcomings based on your dog's unique metabolic requirements. For adult dogs, puppies, seniors, canine athletes and dogs with health conditions. This service is 100% online, and is available to clients worldwide.
Why choose this service?
Commercial dog foods, including specific formulations are manufactured for a wide population of dogs. Even if you are feeding a correctly labeled complete and balanced food, this service can uncover whether the current diet is the best fit for your dog, as determined by several parameters unique to the individual.
​
Feeding a BARF, PMR or ratio-style commercial raw diet? An analysis of potential inadequacies can bring awareness to owners who are thinking about optimizing their dog's diet.
​Or, perhaps you currently feed a homemade diet and are unsure as to whether it's meeting your dog's nutritional requirements. This service finds any shortcomings (or overprovisions) and delivers suggestions on ways to hone the recipe to provide more precise nutrition.
