Large-breed dogs once lived 16–18 years. Today, many barely reach 10–12. Research is showing strong connections between processed kibble, inflammation, and shortened lifespans. A fresh, balanced diet doesn’t just add years — it builds calmer energy, better behavior, and lasting vitality.
Veterinary Insights
More vets are moving away from kibble, recommending whole foods.

Fresh Whole Foods
Dogs thrive on real meat and vegetables — not ultra-processed fillers.
Beyond Kibble Diets
Kibble every day is like eating fast food with zero micro-nutrients. Real nutrition matters.
Boosted Vitality
Healthy food = more energy, better recovery, brighter coat, happier days.
Longer Lifespans
Large-breed dogs once commonly lived to 16–18 years. Nutrition can help bring those years back.
Special Needs Diets
Allergies, sensitivities, weight issues — diets tailored for your dog’s specific health profile.
Vet-Approved Guidance
Based on real science, trusted methods — not trends. Your dog deserves safe, proven care.
“Training and obedience mean little if your dog’s body is breaking down. Food is the foundation — and kibble is the equivalent of fast food every day. Real nutrition builds real health.”
– Monique, Good Dog Sense

In My Words
I created this page because I believe nutrition is just as important as training and walking — maybe more. Obedience, structure, and exercise don’t mean much if a dog’s health is cut short. The truth is, kibble is the equivalent of eating McDonald’s every day. It fills the stomach, but it’s missing the real nutrition that builds longevity, balance, and vitality. I can only train so far, and I can only walk so much. If the body is breaking down from the inside, behavior problems, stress, and disease will follow. A fresh, balanced diet gives my training a foundation to last a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Nutrition Counseling FAQ
Is kibble really that bad?
Kibble is highly processed and often full of fillers. It keeps dogs alive, but not thriving. Think of it as fast food — fine for survival, harmful for longevity.
What do you recommend instead?
Balanced fresh diets — raw, gently cooked, or freeze-dried — with proper proteins, fats, and micronutrients. Every plan is tailored to your dog’s needs.
Can diet really change behavior?
Yes. Dogs on better diets often show improved focus, reduced anxiety, and calmer energy, which makes training far more effective.
Do you provide transition guidance?
Absolutely. We help you switch gradually to avoid digestive upset, ensuring your dog adapts smoothly to their new diet.
