Nutrition (Applied Science) Ad Dip, BSC Hons, Animal nutrition PD Cert
Our Co-Founder Alison, has specialised in canine and feline nutrition for over 13 years, helping owners and their pets all over the world.
Alison trained in Sydney, Australia with some of the very best, starting off with a degree in human applied science, leading into naturopathic nutrition and then specialising in functional medicine with a focus on new product development in the health sector for practitioners, and experts in the field.
Alison’s passion for natural sciences soon spilt over into pets after training as a small animal companion nutritionist and completing her studies in Australia in 2008. Keeping a foot in both camps of human and pet nutrition, Alison has honed her skills within the health sector, using her extensive experience in nutrigenomics and epigenetics, applying this knowledge to disease in canines, and having great success.
It’s the combination of working with healing foods, naturopathic principles and scientific research that formulates a winning combination for Alison’s clinical practice.
Zoology BSc Hons, Animal Management Ex. Dip - Science Writer and Researcher
Bethany (or Beth for short) is a self confessed nutrition nerd, writer and huge animal advocate.
Her journey started during her 8 years volunteering and working in a rescue centre, when she witnessed a dog having a seizure, following the administration of a chemical preventative treatment. This event sparked an interest to research into a natural path of health and well-being for animals and became as much an obsession as a passion.
During her time in education, Beth has gained a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management to a Distinction standard, followed by an online short course in Canine Nutrition, further followed by a Royal Society of Biology accredited degree in Zoology at Royal Holloway, University of London.
In her spare time, Beth enjoys researching deeper into various aspects of pet health and nutrition, and has a particular interest in behaviour and the microbiome. If she’s not writing for My Pet Nutritionist, Beth is running her own dog walking and pet sitting service or helping dog owners, on a voluntary basis, in a large online canine natural health and nutrition community.
