Why a veterinary nutritionist?
No case limitations
Due to clinical specialisation, nutritional guidance for healthy animals, as well as those suffering from clinical conditions is possible.
Independence and individualisation
Services do not include product sales, allowing a wide variety of products and formats, including DIY recipes, to align your pet's diet with its needs as well as your values.
Partnership
A nutritionist always plays a supporting role within the bigger picture. We thus align ourself with owners, other health care professionals and industrial partners to provide tailored advice.
Science-based
A clinical and academic background allows interpreting new research and putting it into daily practice.
Flexible
As a relatively young field, pet nutrition is developing rapidly, with less-studied concepts often popping up. We can assess their risk and provide guidance should you wish to colour outside conventional lines.
Continued education
In order to keep our title, we need to proof that we continue to learn and contribute to the field of animal nutrition. In short, this means that a specialist HAS TO stay up to date.

Online from home or from the office!
Nearly all our services are provided remotely. No need to take the day off, or allot more time to our meeting then is actually necessary! Services are also available in multiple languages, to ensure we are aligned for progress!
This depends on the service. For most, you would book a video call before getting your recommendations. During the booking process it is indicated what you need to submit. More details are given on our services page.
ECVCN stands for European College of Veterinary and Comparative Nutrition. This means that we are trained to think and compare for mulitple species. In short: an advise can be formulated for whatever species you like to keep as a pet. If needed, we either conduct a review to be able to help, or try to refer you to a colleague with the necessary know-how.
Most definitely yes! Nutritionists play a supportive role in most cases, meaning that we align ourselves with the current treatment plan and exchange ideas with your practioners to find the best possible outcome.
We also do not diagnose! We think along and may suggest things, but an in person examination by your veterinarian will always be required.
We are fluent in English, German and Dutch. We can also help in French, but this may require some more effort on your part.
Please consult our services page for more details. Prices are either fixed, or vary depending on effort. There is, however, a cap for dietary plans to avoid excessive costs. This means, that for extremely complicated cases, you will never exceed a certain range, even if the formulation takes considerably more time.
