The Prescription Puzzle Decoding Canine Nutrition for Health
The Possible Canine
How It Works
To start, I like to have an email or phone exchange about what you need and hope to gain, and to discuss any special concerns for example, some clients like to emphasize ease of preparation and commonly available ingredients, others might like one easy prep version and one more complex. Once we know the Service is right for you, I will send you an Intake Form to fill in so I know everything germane to your dog, to guide me in creating the optimal plan I will be working up for him or her.
Next I formulate your recipe(s) and send it on to you, with full detailed information on the content, a shopping list and my extensive Files on preparation, storage, substitutions and much more. Ill send your Herbal Protocol at that time personalized, based on my 30 years as a Traditional Western Herbalist and geared to your dogs whole history and energetics (constitution), again with an information-packed file on using herbs safely and effectively, with multiple links on purchasing.
The last steps include sending your Treat Recipes and Recommendations, some easy to prep and some more involved, plus a list of flavonoid rich foods that can enhance your dogs wellbeing, given his or her history and whats in the recipes I built. I wrap up with a general commentary on long term health strategies, and why I made the choices I did, so you thoroughly understand the method and ingredients/herbs.
You are welcome to email me with questions anytime during this process, and I recommend a check-in after a month, to make sure everything is working well at that time I can review the diet and make any adjustments that are indicated.
I need to emphasize this is NOT a therapeutic service, and works quite differently. If your dog is facing a health issue that requires a recipe/herbal protocol geared to management of any condition, the service you need is the Therapeutic Support Package. The Wellness Package is geared to the dog without any serious health issues, to improve wellbeing now and in the future/increase longevity and minimize common challenges that arise as dogs age.
I look forward to working with you!

Read MoreLinda is a master at taking relevant, evidence-based research on canine nutrition and putting it into understandable and practical applications for the learner. The course provides up-to-date information on macro- and micro-nutrient needs for dogs as well as so incredibly helpful information about many of the myths and trends in feeding our canine companions. She approaches feeding issues from a scientific lens, recognizing the need for guidance in current trends and offers pros and cons of various feeding methods that help us, the consumer and canine guardians, decide the best food in proper amount to help our dog friends thrive. As a human nutritionist and registered dietitian, I was impressed with the advanced level clinical/technical information provided, and I learned or re-learned a ton of information in both the macro- and micro-nutrient areas. An added bonus is the clearly described biochemistry that underpins all of nutritional processes. As an instructor in both face-to-face and online teaching formats at the college level, I was completely wowed by this educational format. The online learning platform, the pace, videos, voice-over power points, and opportunities to interact with Linda online and multiple other learning tools in this course are stellar. I can't wait for the next course!
