Hello, I’m Kristie, an Advanced Canine Nutrition Specialist with over 20 years of experience committed to enhancing the health and longevity of dogs. My approach is rooted in a deep understanding of holistic care, combining the principles of nutrition, exercise, and emotional well-being to nurture dogs at every level. Central to my philosophy is the science of epigenetics, which highlights how environmental factors can influence not only a dog’s health but also the well-being of future generations.

My passion for canine nutrition deepened following the loss of my beloved Labrador, Tahli, to cancer in 2018. Despite providing what I believed was premium dry food, I realised there were gaps in conventional nutrition that could impact long-term health. This led me to explore holistic alternatives, where I discovered the life-changing benefits of a species-appropriate raw diet. After transitioning Tahli to raw feeding, I saw marked improvements in her energy, vitality, and overall quality of life, reaffirming my belief in the power of nutrition to transform health outcomes.

Since then, I have dedicated myself to researching and implementing raw feeding practices, transitioning all of my Labradors to this natural diet. The results have been transformative—improved fertility, elimination of common health issues, and overall enhanced well-being. This journey led me to formalise my expertise, becoming a certified specialist in canine nutrition.

Through Rawspirit, I am driven by a mission to help dog owners make informed decisions about their pets’ health. My goal is to promote species-appropriate diets that support optimal health, longevity, and quality of life, giving every dog the opportunity to thrive naturally and holistically
