​
We met on social media, after all taking the plunge and moving our dogs to a raw diet. When we did make the change, we each found that there was a lot of conflicting advice online about what you could and should feed your dog, and each of us had actually delayed making the switch due to this!
​
Another thing we had all found, was the overwhelming works of art on social media that were presented raw meals for dogs. Now, if you have the time, patience and artistic flair for this that's of course great! But we were looking at our bowls for our dogs and feeling inadequate. We soon learnt that many raw feeders actually feed what is known as a "graveyard" bowl, but once again felt this could well be putting people off from switching to raw as the graveyard bowls never got shown on social media!
​
With these issues firing the fuel, we began to form a friendship and decided that we would set out to create a safe space where ALL types of raw feeders were celebrated, and where we would share the most accurate up to date advice and support to others. within 4 years we reached over 28,000 members, and in less than 2 years of the website running we have had hits in every continent except Antarctica with over 4,000 unique viewers a month consistently in the UK!
Vic
Paraprofessional in Canine Nutrition
(special interests in gut health & behaviour)
Vic is our Canine Gut Health Lead
​
As a child, Vic spent school holidays at her family's farm, immersing herself in caring for animals. One cherished memory stands out: bottle-feeding a lamb back to health. This early connection to animals laid the foundation for her lifelong devotion to their well-being.
​
When she experienced a traumatic loss Vic put everything into learning all about canine health to give her future dogs a better life. While Vic loves all breeds and mixes, she holds a special fondness for Beagles. Their unique personalities and endearing quirks have captured her heart.
​
Vic's journey began to gather pace with her eldest dog, Benji, who suffered from a chronically leaky gut. Vic's determination for wanting better health for her dogs led her to explore the healing potential of whole foods. Witnessing Benji's transformation ignited her passion to help as many other dogs as possible build strong, healthy guts.
​
Vic's inquisitive nature drives her to explore all things canine. You'll often find her with her head buried in books or immersed in research papers, seeking to deepen her understanding.
Her commitment shines through her educational achievements. She has completed various courses across the UK, America, and Canada. Notable accomplishments include the IPET Canine Nutrition Level 3 Diploma, a Diploma in Canine Nutrigenomics and another in Canine Psychology, and a Higher Education Diploma in Canine Training & Behaviour as well as multiple CPD courses
​
Currently, Vic is currently working towards the OFQUAL regulated Level 5 Canine Practitioner.
Keisha
Paraprofessional in Canine Nutrition
(special interests include female health & joint care as well as yeast issues)
Keisha is our Northern Breeds and Yeast & Joint Disease Lead.
​
Keisha's journey began from birth, quite literally, surrounded by dogs. Growing up, she absorbed knowledge about common ailments and specific care requirements for various breeds, including bulldogs, westies, Labradors, shepherds, Jack Russell's, and Huskies.
​
Keisha's fondest memories involve showing the family's English Bulldogs. Their impeccable conformation and robust health filled the entire family with pride. But her love extended beyond dogs; she developed a passion for all animals. During her work experience at a vet practice, she even played a hands-on role in saving a kitten's life!
​
Huskies, though, were the breed that captured Keisha's heart. Throughout her childhood, she immersed herself in learning about their unique traits, training needs, and rich heritage. In 2021, she welcomed Meadow, a husky, into her family, and this expanded to include Phoenix in 2024, Meadow's son Jack Jack, and the youngest of the pack, Dash, in 2025. Amid the hustle and bustle of her growing family, her senior girl, Minnie the Jack Russell, remains a steadfast presence. Minnie's wisdom and happiness remind everyone of the timeless bond between humans and their canine companions.
​
Keisha is like a "dog with a bone." When faced with something unfamiliar, she dives into research to uncover every detail. Her youngest child, Freya, seems to be following in her footsteps, actively participating in the dog-loving community with #freyasreviews and attending the Natural Dog Expo 2023 at just 9 years old!
​
Keisha's commitment to knowledge shines through her completed courses. She completed the IPET Canine Nutrition Level 3 Diploma and various other courses too, and currently, she's progressing through a vet nurse assistant course. Additionally, Keisha explores natural products and methods to support dogs' skin and coat, particularly for those with sensitive skin or allergies.
​
Keisha's passion, dedication, and inquisitiveness make her an invaluable asset to our team and the canine community.
