Clinical Pet Nutritionist and Diet Formulator - Nationwide
Clinically certified canine & feline nutritionist with a decade of experience in animal health and nutrition, with a focus on gut health, allergies/sensitivities, and yeast. Customized diet formulation tailored to meet your pet's specific needs, as well as an extensive knowledge of commercial foods and supplements should you not want to home-prep.
Hi! I'm Amanda Jessup, a Clinical Pet Nutritionist certified through the Academy of Natural Health Sciences. I specialize in helping pet parents crate the perfect dietary routine for all their pet's needs, from puppies to seniors, chihuahuas to mastiffs, and additional experience in large and giant breed puppies. I have an extensive background in leaky gut syndrome and yeast overgrowths, which tend to be the root cause of chronic food sensitivities, ear infections, digestive issues, and skin problems.
I believe that true, whole-body health starts in the gut, and optimizing gut health using the highest-quality foods and supplements leads to a lifetime of overall wellness. From building a recipe specifically for your pet's needs to creating a commercial diet plan, I'm here to help you provide your pet with the healthiest, happiest life possible.
