The expertise behind your dog’s nutrition advice
Every recommendation from FeedYourDog is grounded in veterinary nutrition science. Our specialists cover the full range of therapeutic dietary needs — from gastrointestinal disease and kidney conditions to oncology support, dermatology, and metabolic health. Each area is handled by someone with deep, focused knowledge in that specific field.
Our advice is based on peer-reviewed research, established clinical guidelines, and the best available evidence in veterinary nutrition. We draw on sources including WSAVA nutritional guidelines, ACVIM consensus statements, ECVIM clinical recommendations, and the veterinary nutrition literature. Where the evidence is strong, we follow it. Where uncertainty exists, we say so clearly.
Gastrointestinal & Digestive Health
Our GI specialists understand the complexity of inflammatory bowel disease, food-responsive enteropathy, and chronic digestive disorders in dogs. Their advice covers elimination diets, hydrolysed and novel protein protocols, and the long-term management of sensitive digestive systems.
Areas of expertise: IBD, food-responsive enteropathy, gastrointestinal disorders, elimination diets, hydrolysed proteins, novel protein protocols, microbiome support
Renal & Urinary Nutrition
Managing kidney disease through diet requires precision. Our renal nutrition specialists are well-versed in phosphorus restriction, protein quality, and the nutritional challenges of CKD across different stages. They understand the trade-offs involved and give practical guidance that owners can actually follow at home.
Areas of expertise: chronic kidney disease (CKD), phosphorus management, low-protein therapeutic diets, urinary tract conditions, senior dog nutrition
Oncology Support Nutrition
Supporting a dog through cancer treatment is as much about maintaining quality of life as it is about clinical targets. Our oncology nutrition specialists focus on immune support, weight maintenance, and palatability — helping owners keep their dogs eating well when appetite is often reduced.
Areas of expertise: cancer-supportive nutrition, cachexia management, weight maintenance, immune function, appetite stimulation, post-surgery recovery diets
Dermatology & Allergy Nutrition
Skin disease and food allergy are closely linked, and untangling them requires structured dietary trials carried out properly. Our dermatology nutrition specialists help owners navigate this process with confidence — identifying triggers, building appropriate elimination protocols, and supporting long-term skin barrier health.
Areas of expertise: food allergies, atopic dermatitis, skin barrier support, omega fatty acid protocols, hypoallergenic and limited ingredient diets
Weight Management & Metabolic Health
Obesity, diabetes, and endocrine conditions respond well to proper dietary management — but only if the changes are sustainable. Our metabolic health specialists focus on making caloric control and therapeutic diet transitions practical for everyday life, without unnecessary stress for dog or owner.
Areas of expertise: obesity management, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, Cushing’s disease, portion control, caloric planning, body condition scoring
