Every pet owner wants to feed the very best diet—but with so much conflicting information, knowing where to start can be overwhelming.

In this informative class, we'll explore the nutritional needs of both dogs and cats, including the unique differences between these two carnivorous species. You'll gain a better understanding of how nutrition impacts long-term health and learn practical strategies for choosing the best feeding plan for your pet.

Topics include:

• Understanding the nutritional needs of dogs and cats
• Feeding for long-term health—not just today's meal
• "Complete & Balanced" vs. balance over time
• Comparing kibble, canned, raw, fresh, and homemade diets
• How to evaluate commercial pet foods with confidence
• Creating nutritionally sound homemade diets
• Why many veterinarians discourage raw feeding—and how to have productive conversations with your veterinary team
• Trusted resources for recipes, raw feeding, and evidence-based nutrition

Whether you're feeding kibble, raw, fresh, or homemade meals, you'll leave with the knowledge and confidence to make informed nutritional decisions for your pet.

Each attendee will also receive a curated list of trusted books, websites, recipes, and educational resources for continued learning.

Questions are encouraged! Each class includes time for Q&A with Susie.
