If you are passionate about a career in Equine Therapy and want everything you need to be successful and well-respected, then this is the perfect training program for you. It is UK Rural Skills accredited, aligned to RQF level 5 (6 Irish Framework), and aimed at higher education students.

Our Canine Nutrition Advisor qualification combines comprehensive theoretical learning with practical application, giving you the foundations to understand, assess and support the nutritional needs of individual dogs.

Our comprehensive curriculum takes you through the fundamental principles of canine nutrition, building your knowledge from the digestive system and nutrient requirements through to practical dietary assessment and feeding recommendations.

Chapter 1: Canine Digestive Anatomy And Physiology

Chapter 2: Essential Nutrients And Their Functions

Chapter 3: Energy Requirements and Metabolism

Chapter 4: Canine Life Stages And Nutritional Requirements

Chapter 5: Feeding Methods And Diet Types

Chapter 6: Assessing Nutritional Health And Body Condition

Chapter 7: Nutritional Assessment And Diet Evaluation

Chapter 8: Practical Feeding Plans And Case Studies

Nutrition plays a fundamental role in every aspect of a dog’s health. From supporting healthy growth and development to maintaining body condition, digestive function, energy levels and long-term wellbeing, the food we provide has a significant influence on a dog’s quality of life. However, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to feeding. Every dog has individual nutritional requirements influenced by factors including:
– Age, breed and body size.
– Activity levels and lifestyle.
– Body condition and weight management.
– Life stage, growth and development.
– Digestive health and nutrient utilisation.
– Environmental influences and individual health considerations.
As a Canine Nutrition Advisor, understanding these individual differences is essential. This course will help you develop the knowledge to look beyond the food label, understand what a dog actually needs nutritionally and evaluate whether their current diet is meeting those requirements.
