Practical experience with dogs
Nutrition in everyday life
My approach to canine nutrition is supported not only by my background in food science, but also by many years of living, training, and competing with my own dogs.
Training in rally obedience, obedience, and dog dancing gives me a practical perspective on how nutrition connects with activity level, body condition, ageing, recovery, and everyday feeding.

Dog nutrition questions
Common questions about feeding your dog
Answers to common questions about feeding amounts, nutritional balance, homemade diets, and choosing suitable commercial dog food.
How much food should I feed my dog per day?
Feeding amounts depend on your dog's weight, age, activity, body condition and the energy content of the food. Start with the feeding guide, then adjust the amount based on your dog's weight and condition.
How do I know if my dog's diet is nutritionally balanced?
A balanced dog diet should provide appropriate amounts of protein, fat, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals in relation to the dog's energy needs. Even a diet made from high-quality ingredients can have nutritional gaps, so home-prepared diets are best evaluated using nutritional calculations.
Can I make complete dog food at home?
Yes, but a complete raw or home-cooked diet needs carefully chosen ingredients and proportions. The recipe should be formulated for your dog's life stage and nutritional requirements.
How do I choose a good commercial dog food?
The best dog food is not necessarily the one with the longest ingredient list or the highest meat percentage. Look for a nutritionally appropriate food that your dog digests well, enjoys eating, maintains a healthy body condition on, and that fits both your dog's individual needs and your everyday feeding routine.
