Professional Certification in Canine Nutrition and Dietetics

The Canine nutrition course enables the student to break down, understand and then rationalise the current modern feeding practices versus the biological and evolutionary form of the domesticated dog (Canis lupus familiaris) we have not seen altered over thousands of years.

The information contained in this course has been complied with the astute help of two very important Veterinarians who have made biological nutrition for dogs a priority, to aid in reducing the very common ‘human-like’ conditions and diseases that now affect so many dogs in these modern times.

Throughout this course, students will understand the merit of food products available and compare the nutritional compounds and aid in fighting conditions and disease. Students will understand and compare digestible purity, and nutrient uptake of biologically appropriate foods.

Step by step, the student will work through the foundation, therapeutic, preventative and clinical aspects of Canine Nutrition, from a ‘whole-body’ perspective in relation to the biological and positive physiological outcomes of Canine Biological Nutrition.

At the end of this course the student will understand how nutrition can hinder or improve allergies or inflammation within the canine body. Understanding how nutritional diseases are caused and exasperated through nutrient deficiencies, therefore aiding students to professionally prescribe a complete diet that meets each nutritional requirement for dogs dealing with a variety of conditions and disease on an individual basis with consideration of health, age and breed.

There is no doubt the journey throughout this course will be life changing for so many owners and their beloved dogs that you, the graduating student should feel very accomplished to help in such a valuable way.
