What your dog eats shapes how they feel, move and cope with everyday life. If you’ve noticed itchy skin, tummy upsets, loose stools or low energy, food can be a good place to look, alongside a check with your vet to rule out other causes.
I’ll help you understand what to feed, when to feed and why, whether you’re:
Starting a puppy on the right foundations
Moving your dog to a raw or fresh diet
Looking for gentle dietary support for a dog with ongoing sensitivities, alongside your vet
Simply wanting to feed with more confidence
Everything is tailored to your individual dog and your household. This is calm, supported change, not overwhelm.

ABOUT MY ADVICE. I hold a BCCSDip.HthNut qualification (British College of Canine Studies). I’m not a veterinary surgeon and I don’t diagnose medical conditions. My guidance is there to support your dog’s overall wellbeing, and it complements, rather than replaces, veterinary care. If your dog has a health concern, your vet is always the right first call.
When a dog’s food suits their biology, the body doesn’t have to work so hard. Over time, many owners notice:
Calmer, more comfortable skin
More consistent digestion and stool quality
Steadier energy rather than peaks and crashes
Greater ease of movement
A more settled, relaxed dog
Nutrition doesn’t work in isolation, but it creates the foundation everything else builds on. When a dog feels well inside, their behaviour often seems calmer too.
Skin, ears and digestion
These can have many causes, so I always encourage a vet check first. Where diet may be playing a part, I’ll help you look at what your dog eats and how it could be better balanced. This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building comfort and resilience from the inside out.
Toni has supported me with the diet of my Hungarian Wire-haired Vizsla who, although loved the food he had been on since a puppy, remained very lean and ribby. She gave guidance when I asked questions about moving him to raw, something I knew nothing about. She provided examples without pushing any one supplier. She supported me during the transition and has continued to provide support when there have been a couple of hiccups. Pleased to say he is now thriving with people commenting on how well he looks. Thank you Toni.

I can not thank Toni enough for all her help in changing Willows diet and helping her with her painful skin. Since seeing Toni, Willows skin has improved so much. Toni is extremely knowledgeable and friendly and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her.

My Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla wasn’t putting on weight and Toni supported me transitioning him to raw, which is something I wouldn’t have done on my own. She provided support and guidance throughout and continues to do so if I have any additional questions. He’s now looking much healthier and loves the raw diet. Would highly recommend Toni

Is raw feeding right for every dog?
Not always. Every dog is different though, so I look at your dog’s age, health history and lifestyle before suggesting anything, and I’ll encourage you to speak to your vet if your dog has a health condition.
I’m new to raw feeding. Can you still help?
Of course. Many people I work with are starting from scratch. I give practical information and support you through the transition.
Do you work with puppies?
Yes, starting a puppy on good foundations is something I really enjoy.
Do you only see clients near you?
No. Consultations are online, so I can support you wherever you are in the UK or beyond.
