Tailored canine nutrition

Helping your dog thrive from the inside out.

Every dog is different, and their nutrition should be too. Whether you have a working dog or a much-loved pet, we offer personalised nutritional consultations designed around your dog’s individual needs, lifestyle and goals.

From improving overall health and performance to supporting healthy weight loss, we’ll help you find the right nutritional approach for your dog.

With Alice’s Natures Menu Raw Food Advisor qualification (2018) and university-level nutrition studies at the University of Hull, you can feel confident that your dog’s diet is in knowledgeable hands.

Give your dog the nutritional foundations to feel their best, perform at their best and thrive.

Remote dog training, behaviour & nutrition support

Practical support for you and your dog doesn’t always need to start with an in-person appointment. IQ K9 Academy offers remote dog behavioural consultations, telephone dog training consultations and personalised canine nutrition advice, helping you explore the right approach from home.

If you’re struggling with your dog’s behaviour, looking for clearer direction with training or unsure whether their current diet suits their needs, we can help you understand the options. Our consultations are centred on your dog’s individual circumstances, your everyday routine and what you would like to achieve.

Remote support gives you another way to work with us when travelling to an appointment is difficult or you would prefer guidance you can put into practice at home. We’ll discuss whether it is suitable for your dog and recommend a different approach where needed.

Our in-person services remain available, including residential training and training walks. We’re also developing online dog training courses, including Recall and Puppy Foundations — coming soon.
