Veterinary Bioscientist | Animal Nutritionist - Nationwide
I’m Shay Kuehlmann, BA, BSc (Hons), AMRSB, ISCP L5 Dip. Canine Nutrition — a UK-based Veterinary Bioscientist and Registered Animal Nutritionist offering advanced online nutrition consultations to clients throughout the United States, the UK and internationally.
My academic and professional background combines veterinary bioscience, animal physiology, disease processes and advanced canine nutrition. This allows me to assess far more than the ingredients shown on a food label. I consider the whole animal, including their veterinary history, current symptoms, body condition, lifestyle, medications, supplements and complete dietary intake.
I work with healthy animals and more complex nutritional cases, including:
Food sensitivities and structured elimination diets
Gastrointestinal problems and poor stool quality
Itching, recurrent skin problems and ear concerns
Weight management and body-condition optimisation
Senior and age-related nutritional support
Commercial food and supplement assessment
Home-prepared diet evaluation
Nutrition alongside chronic health conditions
Every consultation is individual and evidence-led. Where appropriate, I review veterinary records and work alongside the animal’s treating veterinarian. Clients receive a detailed, practical nutrition plan developed specifically for their animal rather than generic feeding advice.
Although my principal area of expertise is canine nutrition, I work with other companion animals where the case falls within my professional scope.
Online consultations available across the USA, UK and worldwide.
