Veterinarians have expressed two main concerns with their clients feeding raw food to their dogs, bacterial contamination and nutritional imbalances. The Feed Real Institute Professional Canine Nutrition course addresses these issues specifically throughout the course.
The course aims to ease the mind and reduce the concerns of veterinary professionals as they encounter clients that have chosen to feed their dogs whole food or raw diets. If the veterinary team is well-versed in the concepts of raw feeding, they can have constructive conversations with their clients rather than trying to discourage them from raw feeding. Encouraging clients to take the Real Dog Nutrition course for dog parents will strengthen the bond between the veterinary team and the dog parent as they proceed through the raw feeding journey together.
"Achieving that perfect balance between providing sufficient academic background and adequate practical information is challenging, but these courses excel at it! They provide both the rationale and the research for choosing to feed real food. "
Top 3 Reasons you should take this course:
- Your clients are transitioning to a raw diet. As their veterinarian you need to be prepared to guide them through their fresh food journey, including following baseline clinical markers through annual exams and comprehensive bloodwork.
- Dogs in your care frequently
- Are overweight or obese
- Have poor oral health
- Have itchy or yeasty paws and skin
- Have soft stools and diarrhea
