Health and Wellness is something so many people are striving for, and I am certainly seeing this extend to our furry family members. When supporting the health and well-being of our beloved dogs and cats, nature often provides some of the best solutions. One such remarkable discovery native to the...
In my clinic, I am often tasked with helping pet owners distil an overabundance of regularly conflicting information on the best dietary choices for our feline and canine companions. What I find encouraging, is the number of owners interested in the potential health benefits of feeding their pets a high-meat diet....
Welcoming a new kitten into your home is a wonderful and exciting experience. However, just like human babies, the responsibility and feeling that you have to get everything ‘right’ from the beginning can be quite overwhelming. As a long-time veterinarian, pet owner, and mother to two boys I have learned...
When it comes to buying pet food it can be daunting looking past all the buzzwords that plaster packet after packet. However, there is one phrase that all pet parents should look for when shopping for food - complete and balanced. Complete and balanced pet foods meet the minimum and...
Like us, our pets can suffer from allergies, and mimicking the human world, this condition appears to be on the rise! Pet allergies can manifest in various symptoms with one of the most common presentations being itchy skin. Whilst not usually life-threatening, any owner of an itchy pet can attest...
It is often said ‘you don’t know what you don’t know’. So, I thought I would share with you a condition I think all cat owners should know, because knowing, might just save your cat’s life! There is a weird phenomenon in the veterinary world whereby medical emergencies rarely present...
They say ‘the more you know, the more you realize you don’t know’ and when it comes to nutrition, this sentiment rings true. Solving the nutrition puzzle for our pets is a complex undertaking and, in my opinion, while we continue to learn, we have yet to completely master it....

Upset tummies are one of the most frequent reasons pets are presented to me in the clinic. Vomiting and diarrhoea are extremely common problems in our pets but are often a challenge for owners to know if or when it warrants a visit to the vet. Unfortunately, vomiting and diarrhoea...
“How much should I be feeding my cat or dog” is probably one of the most common questions I get asked during a consultation. Unfortunately, the answer depends on a multitude of factors and is highly specific for an individual pet. However, understanding the general nutritional needs of our pets as...
You probably know from experience that if you feed your cat the same meal three times a day, seven days a week, they’re not going to turn it down. And it’s easy to just put the same flavour in the cart when you’re running low. That said, cats actually love variety...
Here at K9 Natural and Feline Natural we are committed to providing the best blends of nature in nutrition for cats and dogs. As part of this philosophy, we refuse to include any binders, gums or gelling agents in our diets which would compromise the natural goodness of our wholefood ingredients.
Unlike their canine counterparts, our feline friends are notoriously poor drinkers. This is likely due to their evolutionary path from desert type environments whereby they obtained most of their water through consumption of entire prey animals… including the stomach contents.
Quinoa, cauliflower and kale: the trendy superfoods of our world. They’re not exclusive to humans, though, and we happen to have sourced the superfood taking the housecat market by storm: green tripe, the stomach lining of an animal.
Whilst I can say with reasonable confidence our feline friends were not the intended audience, Hippocrates had it right when he said, ‘let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food’.
