Ada, 10yo Terrier Mix with IBD

"I contacted Ruth in November 2024 after my dog Ada was admitted to a specialist hospital following a severe IBD flare-up. Ada is a 10-year-old terrier mix (although we suspect she may actually be older!).

At the time, we were really struggling with knowing what to feed her safely going forwards. Ada was eating very little, and some days she would refuse food entirely, which was incredibly worrying for us. We felt completely at a loss about what to do next without risking triggering another flare-up.

Ruth was amazing in helping us figure out the best support plan for Ada. She guided us through finding an approach that worked for her individually and helped us gradually rebuild Ada’s appetite without causing any negative gut reactions. The support was thoughtful, reassuring, and made a huge difference during a really stressful time.

I would definitely recommend Ruth’s services to anyone struggling with their dog’s gut health, digestive issues, or poor appetite. Having knowledgeable and compassionate support made such a difference for both Ada and us."

Simba, 4yo Cockapoo, fussy eater with digestive issues

"I honestly can’t thank Ruth enough for the support. For a long time, Simba struggled with digestive issues. He would regularly refuse food, was frequently sick, and despite numerous tests and investigations with the vets, we never seemed to get any answers. It became incredibly stressful, and I found myself constantly worrying about him. I hated leaving him alone because I was always concerned that he wouldn’t eat or would become unwell.

From our first consultation, Ruth listened carefully to Simba’s history and took a holistic approach to understanding what might be causing his issues. Her knowledge of canine nutrition and behaviour was exceptional, and she helped me understand how different factors could be impacting Simba’s wellbeing. The guidance and support she provided were life changing. Simba is now eating consistently, his digestive issues have improved significantly, and he is a much happier and healthier dog. Just as importantly, I have so much more confidence and peace of mind knowing that he is thriving. What I appreciated most was that the recommendations were tailored specifically to Simba’s needs rather than being a one size fits all approach.

Simba can still be a little fussy with his food, but thanks to Ruth’s advice, I no longer panic and understand his behaviours much better and know when it’s something to monitor rather than worry about. In fact, we haven’t had a trip to the vets relating to these issues in nearly two years, and Simba hasn’t had any sickness during that time either. That alone speaks volumes about the difference Ruth has made to his health and wellbeing.

What really stood out was the genuine care and dedication Ruth showed throughout the process. I never felt like just another client, and no question was ever too much trouble. If you’re struggling with your dog’s nutrition, digestive health, or behaviour, I would wholeheartedly recommend Ruth. The difference she has made to Simba’s life, and mine, has been incredible."

Flo, 7yo Irish Setter with sensitive stomach

"I would highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for expert, compassionate help with canine nutrition, especially for dogs with sensitive stomachs or ongoing digestive problems.

Flo was struggling with a sensitive stomach, loose stools, flatulence after having emergency surgery to remove a blockage from her intestine and was generally fed up with food. I spoke to Ruth and from the beginning she took the time to really understand Flo’s symptoms, history, and sensitivities, and created a thoughtful plan that made a noticeable difference.

Ruths knowledge, patience, and genuine care gave us confidence during a stressful time, and Flo is now much happier, more comfortable, and thriving. Ruth answered questions and explained things clearly, which we really appreciated."

Ross, 6yo Romanian Rescue & Monica 13yo Staffie, transition to raw

"Huge thanks to Ruth for helping with my dogs Ross and Monica (yes, named after the tv show friends!) back in 2023 when I switched my dogs over from fresh to raw.

Ruth was very knowledgeable and helpful, advising the perfect transition routine and explained all about protein rotation to avoid intolerances.

Two happy dogs, who are fed the best and are thriving!"

Darcy, 5yo Cavapoo with an intolerance

"Ruth was fantastic with my little Cavapoo, Darcy last year. She has always been raw fed but started getting a really bad belly from time to time and seemed quieter than normal.

Ruth suggested a possible intolerance. Following her advice, we found out she is in fact now intolerant to beef. We’ve removed that from her diet and she is back to her usual self!"

Groot, 7yo French Bulldog, fussy eater with intolerances

"I first contacted Ruth 4 years ago when Groot starting displaying increased signs of food intolerances and having some severe reactions. He is an extremely fussy eater so making changes is never easy so it was a big task!

Ruth was (and still is) extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She supported me with elimination diets, discussing different proteins, the possible diet options, how to transition, what to monitor. We still catch up and discuss new developments and scientific research.

I would highly recommend getting in touch with Ruth if you have questions or want some friendly practical support."
