YES, YOU CAN COOK FOR YOUR DOG!
World-renowned holistic veterinarian W. Jean Dodds, DVM
and global dog food formulator Diana Laverdure-Dunetz, MS will show you how.
Now, You can Stop Stressing and Start Cooking!
Have you ever feared that the food you're putting in your dog's bowl may be contributing to chronic disease - or even shortening your dog's life?
Are you tired of jumping from dog food Brand A to Brand B back to Brand A, or attempting to make your own fresh food but feeling you don't have the proper knowledge to do it right?
Does your dog already suffer from a health condition, and you feel responsible?
It's enough to make any dedicated dog parent throw their hands up in the air in despair!
But what if you could confidently master your dog's diet and in turn give your best friend the gift of the longest, healthiest life possible?
What if you could wow your friends - and your veterinarian - with how great your dog looks and feels, even at a "ripe old doggy age"?
Diet is the KEY to Health and Longevity
Thanks to the latest scientific research, we now know that diet is the single most important controllable factor determining a dog's health and longevity. This means that you have the power to shatter out-dated notions of how long your dog "should" live and help him or her achieve a FAR LONGER, vibrantly healthy life!
But so many people struggle with their dogs' diets ...until now!
Complete Canine Nutrition will guide you, step-by-step, through exactly what your dog's body needs to thrive.
You will finally gain the confidence and peace of mind that comes with knowing you have it all under control - without worrying about the latest fad doggy diet or advice from some (usually wrong) Internet "guru."
It's about looking your dog in the eye and knowing you are doing right by them....
"My 3 year-old Irish Setter, Dylan, suffered from severe gastrointestinal issues since he was a puppy. In addition, he recently had an elevated eosinophil (white blood cell) count, indicating inflammation. After just a couple of months on Diana's diet, Dylan's GI system is functioning wonderfully and his latest blood work came back perfect. And best of all the EOS levels are back to normal!"

- Lesson 3: Functional Foods and Your Dog's Diet
In this module, we delve into the critical relationship between food and health and lay the foundation for your dog to live a long, healthy life. You will learn about nutrigenomics, the emerging science of how the foods and other nutritional ingredients our dogs consume communicate with their cells to affect gene expression, which in turn plays a major role in determining their health. You will learn the difference between the genetic factors about your dog that you cannot change, and those that you can strongly influence. We will also delve into functional foods, key ingredients that will help your dog’s cells express for health rather than disease so that you can immediately begin to build a better diet for your canine companion.

In this Module, you will learn how energy is derived from diet, how to understand the kcal units listed on commercial pet food labels, and how to calculate your dog's metabolizable energy (ME) requirements. We will also delve into the essential macronutrients (proteins/fats/carbohydrates) and micronutrients (vitamins/minerals) that dogs need at various life stages. You will learn how to determine your dog’s individual nutrient needs, according to standards set by the National Research Council (NRC). We will also introduce the Three Keys, aimed to simplify the process of balancing your dog’s diet over time.
Module 3
Macronutrients
- Lesson 7: Protein
- Lesson 8: Fat

Protein, fat and carbohydrates are the fuel that run our dogs' bodies, but the intricacies of these macronutrients - including how much of each dogs need - trips up many people and gets in the way of building healthful, balanced diets. When you complete this Module, you will have a solid in-depth understanding of the functions of protein, fat and carbohydrates, the role of each in the canine diet, how much and the best types to feed your dog. We will also introduce our "Combine and Rotate Plan" to ensure that your dog receives a variety of different proteins, as well as some easy guidelines to follow regarding your dog’s daily protein intake. This Module covers many other critical topics, including: Which fats are the best to feed?; What is the role of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids and how to correctly balance them?; How much fat is "high fat"?; Should I feed carbohydrates to my dog?; What are the best prebiotics?; What vegetables should I give my dog?; And much more....

Now that you have a full grasp of macronutrients in the canine diet, it's time to dive into micronutrients (vitamins & minerals) essential to canine health. When you complete this Module, you will know more about the vitamin and mineral requirements of dogs than even most of the "experts"! You will have a full grasp of the functions of vitamins and minerals, how the vitamin and mineral needs of dogs differ from humans, details about each vitamin and mineral, including consequences of deficiency, potential for toxicity and dietary sources of each nutrient. You will also have access to your own automated Excel-based "Cheat Sheet" to quickly and easily determine any dog's precise nutrient requirements based on the National Research Council's Recommended Daily Intake.

Question #2: When does the course start?
The course has no specified start or end date. Once you enroll, the course is yours forever, so you can start whenever it is convenient for you. And, you can go at your own pace and complete the course when you want and take it as many times as you want.
Question #3: Is this course going to take tons of time out of my day/week/month/life?
We know you're busy, so we've designed the course to be taken at your own pace. Dive in all at once, or go slow and steady. We only ask for 1 hour per week to start making changes that lead to major shifts in your dog's health.
Question #4: How long on average will it take for me to see results with my dog's health?
This of course depends upon your starting point as far as your dog's current state of health. If your dog suffers from serious chronic illness already, it will take longer to get his or her body back in balance. We find that on AVERAGE, with the right dietary changes our clients and students see results within 60 - 90 days.
Question #5: What if I purchase the course and want a refund?
We pride ourselves on integrity first and foremost and we only want you in the course if you want to be there. If within 30 days of your purchase you are unhappy for whatever reason, just email us and we'll provide you with a full and prompt refund.
