Plant-Based
Dog Nutrition Education

Giving you the confidence to feed your dog correctly as led by a vet with a passion for plant-based nutrition and your dog’s health

Did you know that dogs are better suited to a plant-based diet rather than meat-based?

Z

The physiology of dogs has evolved with man to adapt to what they have been fed

Z

When your dog suffers from a food intolerance or allergy, it is usually not gluten and grain, but animal protein that causes the problems

Z

Hear all about Betsie the Poodle who was being fed a healthy homemade diet without supplements, and ended up in such pain having to be carried everywhere until her vet referred her to Dr Arielle

Z

Did you know that we share almost the same gut microbiome as our dogs? We have only just touched the surface on the benefits of good gut health in both us and our dogs

Z

Where does the protein come from? Legumes such as beans and chickpeas are so important in our dogs, as well as tofu and quinoa if home cooking….and dogs LOVE tofu!

So much choice now with plant-based foods and which is the best?

Z

Do you what to look out for when looking at the ingredient list of your dog’s food? Many plant-based diets out there such as Yarrah and Pets At Home plant-based foods can only be classified as plant-based and not vegan as they have Vit D3 from sheep’s wool?

Z

There are so many different brands now of top vegan dog foods and which one is the best? Each brand has it’s own unique value and it depends on your dog which will suit them best

Z

Feeding your puppy the wrong diet can impact their future health if they grow too fast or too slowly. It is better to not neuter large breed female dogs to prevent arthritis later on in their lives

Z

Are you wanting to home cook using fresh ingredients? It is possible but requires enormous accuracy to get it 100% right, or you could harm your dog’s future health

I realised through reading the plant-based nutrition course that I feel much more motivated to learn about Nutritional Science for my Labrador Beau’s wellbeing, than if I were to learn it to master my own vegan diet! Arielle makes this learning a joy. Her teaching is warm and deeply compassionate. She generously shares a wealth of nutritional and veterinary knowledge, and advice from her own experience, in a way I (a non-academic) can understand and implement in Beau’s life, in manageable steps. I truly feel that investing in this course is the best education investment that I have ever made.
It is excellent value for money and highly recommended.

Sara and Beau

The plant-based dog nutrition course is absolutely amazing… with Arielle’s help I have deepened my knowledge of the subject and now have confidence in what I am doing. This rich resource is packed with interesting facts, case studies and useful information.

I would highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking of making a step to a better way of feeding our little furry friends 🤍

I have been looking for a vegan nutrition resource for dogs for a long time. I started studying a regular nutrition course for dogs and just not getting the information I needed. This online course is giving me the confidence to feed my dogs vegan homemade food. I feel I have the recipes and background knowledge to create the recipes confidently.

Thank you so much

Gain the confidence to feed your dog correctly – led by a passionate plant-based vet

If not fed correctly, so many problems can arise for our dogs – the impact of diet affects everything about our dog’s health.

Dr Arielle has seen first-hand the devastating impact of making errors with your dog’s nutrition.

Everything that Dr Arielle teaches you is based on her own passion to find the best food for her own family plant-based dog Ruff.

THANK YOU! I can’t tell you how much I value all your advice. I’ve waited so long to find a professional like you. I cannot begin to put into words what a difference your advice and care has made to both our dogs but to Mac in particular with all his digestive issues.”

Linda, Inverness (Mac’s owner)

“I know for a fact Carly and Muffin are healthier and I have given them the best chance of living longer. Also they love their food”
– Heather, Swansea

This nutrition course was instrumental in giving me the confidence to transition our 2 x Hungarian Vizslas (8 & 12 year olds) onto a 100% plant-based diet.

The knowledge base tapped into was fantastic.

Simon

Thank you Arielle for leading the way and teaching me about my dog’s plant-based diet. As a vegan it makes me feel so happy that I no longer have to feed my dog Cali meat, she loves her home cooked food and I enjoy cooking it…

Thank you so much

Kindest regards

Jane
