About Course
This course teaches you how to feed dogs properly across their entire lives. Whether you’re a pet owner who wants to stop second-guessing the food bowl, a home cook ready to formulate your dog’s diet from scratch, or someone looking to start a small dog food business, this course gives you the practical knowledge to make confident decisions.
Note on scope: The content focuses specifically on small and mid-sized dogs (roughly 2–25 kg) — toy breeds through to medium breeds like Beagles and Border Collies. The principles apply broadly, but the worked examples, portion calculations and breed notes are tailored to this size range.
You’ll learn the maths of feeding (how many calories your dog actually needs), the science of nutrition (what those guaranteed-analysis numbers really mean), and the practice of formulation (how to build a diet that works). Every lesson is grounded in real-world scenarios with worked examples for dogs you’d actually meet — a 4 kg Chihuahua puppy, a 7 kg Cavalier, a 12 kg Beagle, a 20 kg Border Collie.
