How was the Whole Food Mixer formulated?Updated 3 days ago

Our Whole Food Mixer was formulated by Dr. Sarah Dodd (BVSc, PhD, DECVCN), a seasoned veterinary nutritionist and Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary and Comparative Nutrition. Dr. Dodd brings extensive expertise in plant-based companion animal nutrition and has published peer-reviewed research on vegetarian and vegan diets for dogs and cats.

Dr. Dodd earned her veterinary degree from the University of Guelph and completed her PhD in companion animal nutrition, followed by specialized training that led to her board certification in veterinary nutrition. Her research focuses on the nutritional adequacy and health outcomes of plant-based diets for companion animals, making her uniquely qualified to formulate our dehydrated whole food diet.

Dr. Dodd ensured that the Whole Food Mixer meets all AAFCO nutritional requirements while maximizing the inclusion of nutrient-dense whole food ingredients. Her expertise was particularly valuable in balancing the complex nutritional interactions between our diverse plant protein sources and ensuring optimal bioavailability of essential nutrients in the dehydrated format.
