Certified Pet Dietitian and Pet Nutritionist - Nationwide
As a proud co-owner and operator of an Earthwise Pet store since July 2019, I bring years of experience and a passion for helping you provide the best care for your beloved fur babies. My expertise lies in commercial pet foods, and I am dedicated to guiding pet parents in making informed decisions about their pets' nutrition. I am certified in American Red Cross Pet First Aid and CPR, ensuring that your pets' safety and well-being are always my top priority. Whether you have a petite feline or a large canine companion, my services cater to all sizes, ensuring every pet receives personalized attention.
I offer to review what you're currently feeding your pets and provide tailored recommendations for healthier commercial pet food options. If you're exploring homemade diets, I can assess your current regimen and suggest healthier ingredient alternatives to enhance your pet's nutrition. In addition, I provide a comprehensive, typed-up overview of the key teachings I share with my Earthwise Pet store customers. This valuable resource includes insights on food selection, storage, and necessary supplements—knowledge you won't find through internet searches, veterinarians, or product packaging.
While I do not create homemade recipes or adjust portion sizes, I believe that consistency and accuracy are vital in preventing nutrient imbalances in homemade diets. My flexible cancellation policy ensures that your needs are always accommodated, and I am committed to making the journey of pet care as smooth and rewarding as possible. Pets are family, and I am here to support yours. Ready to get started? Book me through Petworks today!

I am happy to help you in the following ways:
Look at what you're feeding and make recommendations (commercial pet foods).
Look at your home made diet and recommend healthier ingredients if needed.
Give you my full typed up overview of exactly what I teach at my store day to day which each of my customers has used to learn what foods and ingredients to look for and how to store them, what supplements they need etc. Information you won't get from google, your vet, commercials or even the bag/can.
What I am not offering:
Homemade recipes, portion changes of ingredients in your recipes
There is nothing wrong with home-made, but in my experience, it is very hard for pet parents to keep up with it long term without overdosing or depleting their pets of certain nutrients by making mistakes or skipping steps/ingredients too long.

Everything went great!
- Diana GPet Pro's Response:
Thank you Diana. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
- Jennifer K SmithJennifer Baird was the best use of my money and my time! Jennifer is very knowledgeable about cat nutrition and she shared that knowledge with me in a format that I could easily understand and enjoy reading about. She gave me specific recommendations and I felt she listened to my concerns and addressed them specific to my cat's needs.
I'm so glad I chose her. (I enjoyed my time with her much more than the previous nutritionist I consulted last week. Wish I would have used Jennifer first...would have saved me that first time and money!
Thank you, Jennifer Baird, for caring about my problem!
