Dog Nutritionist in Singapore
You want to feed your dog well, but conflicting advice makes the best choice unclear. A dog nutritionist in Singapore can replace that guesswork with a personalised, science-backed diet.
I’m Dr Francis, a PhD-qualified animal nutritionist, and I create science-backed diets for dogs, from puppies to seniors, through personalised online consultations, available anywhere in the world.
Diet is the part of your dog's health that you control every day, making nutrition essential to proactive care.
Many pawrents book a dog nutritionist when they notice one of these situations:
A picky dog that refuses to finish meals
Loose stools or an upset stomach that keeps returning
Skin allergies with itching, licking, or red patches
A move from kibble to homemade or raw food
A new puppy who needs a feeding plan
A senior dog with changing needs
Weight that creeps up or down
As a canine nutritionist, I work alongside your dog’s current health status, shaping a diet that supports their health, including any treatment plan they may be under. I also welcome dogs with diagnosed medical conditions, and you can book without a vet referral.
When to See a Dog Nutritionist
Dog Nutrition Consultations With Dr Francis
Think of me as your dog nutrition consultant. As a holistic canine nutritionist, I look at your dog's whole lifestyle, from bowl to daily routine.
Booking a pet diet online consultation takes three simple steps:
Online consultation: We talk through your dog's current diet, lifestyle, and wellbeing goals.
Get your plan: I prepare an optimised diet plan for your dog, shaped around your lifestyle and budget.
Cook from a bespoke recipe: If you cook at home, I also create a recipe made just for your dog.
If you would rather learn to fine-tune your dog's diet yourself, my pet nutrition programme, The Longevity Furmula, is another way to work with me. This 10-week one-on-one programme includes a private 90-minute workshop where you learn to assess and adjust your dog’s diet as they grow.
Kibble, Raw, or Homemade Dog Food?
From kibble to homemade diets, I can help you choose what suits your dog and household.
Kibble
Kibble suits many busy households but is far from perfect. With the right additions, you can improve your dog's current diet, health and digestion and keep feeding the food they already love.
Raw
A balanced raw diet delivers every essential nutrient in the right proportions. Careful sourcing, storage, and handling keep each meal fresh and safe for your household.
Homemade
Home cooking can be wonderfully rewarding, as long as the recipe covers your dog's nutritional needs. That’s why your consultation includes a bespoke recipe and feeding guidelines, so every meal you cook is balanced and tasty.

Nutrition for Puppies and Senior Dogs
Growing puppies build bone, muscle, and immunity at speed, so their feeding plan differs from an adult dog's. Working with a puppy nutritionist means you get a plan tailored to your dog’s breed and size, with reviews at each growth milestone.
Meanwhile, senior dogs have different needs as their metabolism, joints, and appetite change with age. When I review a senior dog's diet, I look at body condition, current meals, and any shifts in energy or digestion.
At any age, nutrition plays an important role in overall health and longevity. That is why every paw-sonalised plan reflects your dog's age, health, breed, and personal needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dog Nutritionists

-
Absolutely. If you cook at home, I create a bespoke recipe built around your dog's age, health, and breed, likes and dislikes and your lifestyle.
-

-
Yes. I start by reviewing your dog's current meals, then adjust the ingredients, texture, and feeding routine to suit their tastes.
