Consulting
One-Hour Initial Consultation
Initial Consultation | $175
There is a lot of information out there about pet nutrition and wellness—and unfortunately, a lot of noise. One expert says one thing, the internet says another, the pet food bag says something else entirely, and before long you’re wondering what actually makes sense for your pet.
Use me - and my more than 30 years in the pet industry - to help you block out the noise and focus on what actually matters for your pet.
This hour is yours. Our conversation can include:
- Nutrition and feeding options for your pet
- Interpretation of food sensitivity testing, including 5Strands, UCARI, Glacier Peak Pet Tests, and others
- Microbiome and gut health testing, including AnimalBiome and Innovative Pet Lab
- Nutrition support for pets with special health needs
- Parasites and prevention
- Overall pet nutrition and wellness
- Pet food labels, ingredients, marketing - and what really matters
- Or an entire hour talking about dog food. I’m good with that, too.
Your consultation begins before we ever meet. We’ll communicate by email ahead of time so I can learn about your pet, understand what you’d like to accomplish, and review relevant test results, food information, health history, or other materials you provide. That allows me to do my homework before our 60-minute Zoom meeting so we can make the most of our hour together. Afterward, I’ll send you follow-up notes with the recommendations and next steps we discussed.
I’ve spent more than three decades working in the pet industry, helping pet parents navigate changing trends, new products, conflicting advice, clever marketing, and a whole lot of opinions. Let me pull back the curtain on the pet industry and help you figure out what makes sense for the pet standing in front of us.
I don’t believe there is one perfect answer for every pet. I believe in informed choices, realistic solutions, and progress over perfection.
Food should have a purpose.
Looking for something more personalized? Custom nutrition plans and recipes are available as a separate service and can be discussed during your consultation.
30-Minute Follow-Up Consultation
30 Minutes | $100
So, how’s it going?
We’ve talked, we’ve made some decisions, and you’ve had a chance to put them into practice. Now I want to know what happened. What’s working? What isn’t? What has improved? What surprised you? And what new questions have popped up since we last talked?
This 30-minute follow-up gives us time to check in, look at your pet’s progress, and decide where we go from here. Sometimes the answer is stay the course. Sometimes we make a small adjustment. And sometimes your pet lets us know pretty clearly that it’s time to try something different.
That’s why I say feed the pet in front of you. A recommendation is a starting point—not something we have to force simply because it looked good on paper.
Bring me your progress, your questions, your wins, and the things that still aren’t quite right. We’ll sort through them together and figure out the next best step.
Progress over perfection. Every time.
