This course is designed for dog owners who want to feed fresh, home-cooked meals safely and correctly. Many pet parents are interested in moving beyond kibble but worry about creating an unbalanced diet or missing essential nutrients.
In this course, you’ll learn how to prepare nutritionally balanced cooked meals for dogs, understand the role of supplements, and apply practical strategies to support your dog’s long-term health.
This course is especially helpful for:
- Dog owners curious about fresh or homemade diets
- Owners of dogs with digestive issues, allergies, or sensitivities (like your work with Merlin and Lily!)
- Pet parents who want to understand nutrient balance instead of guessing
- People interested in both science-based and holistic approaches to canine nutrition
- Anyone who wants the confidence to cook for their dog safely and responsibly
No prior nutrition experience is required—just a desire to improve your dog’s diet and overall well-being.
Abby is a dedicated dog enthusiast with a Master’s degree in Animal Science and a PhD in Education. She combines her scientific background with a passion for teaching to help dog owners feel confident and informed when preparing fresh meals for their pets.
Through her own nutrition journey with her dogs, Abby understands both the challenges and rewards of home cooking. She is passionate about sharing practical, evidence-informed strategies that support canine health.
