Description

Almost half of all dogs are overweight or obese, while half of all dogs will get cancer at some stage in their life.

Worryingly, these statistics are just the tip of the iceberg in a whole host of 'modern man' conditions such as arthritis, diabetes and heart disease that are affecting our dogs in epidemic proportions, not to mention our wallets!

The principles of this course will transform the long-term health of your dog and significantly reduce the likelihood of your precious pet becoming yet another sad statistic. 

How? By identifying natural foods that promote optimal health and eliminating the ones that trigger the onset of disease.
This course will enable any owner to create a tailored nutrition plan for their dog, no matter what stage of life it's at.

1000s of dog owners have switched from highly processed commercial dog food and embraced natural feeding - and with amazing results and success stories.

Enrol now and start your dog's journey to a healthier, happier life!

But don't just take our word for it, here is what some of our happy dog owners have said about the course:

'Thank you so much, we are amazed at the difference, not only in Bling's health and condition, but also her temperament. She has so much more energy for walks and is much calmer around other dogs too - we can only assume she is less cranky now that she feels better. The course was easy to follow and apply and we could not be happier as a result...and nor could Bling!' Ramona Carraro & Dog Lady Bling - Frome, Somerset

'Look after your dog from the inside out. Often over looked, diet can play a part in behaviour and we should be looking at diet when assessing a dog's behaviour and implementing a training program. Do Good Pet Co. offer a course for dog owners that is simple to follow and gives you a clear understanding of what's best to feed your dog as well as an insight to some of the nasties hidden in some packaged foods sold in supermarkets and pet shops.  A recommended read for all pet dog owners.' Emma Cummings, Force Free Dog Trainers, Surrey

'The course helped me learn how much rubbish really is in a lot of dry dog food!!! Also, I didn't realise how much more healthy natural food dogs can actually have!!! Every dog owner should have to read this course when buying a dog...by law!!!' Dan Jenneson with Dogs Betty & Fred - Bournemouth

'This is a brilliant course for all those folks who what to feed their dogs good food but want to make sure that it's balanced and healthy. I loved the bright and informative literature that make the subject easy to understand and less daunting. I would thoroughly recommend it to all dog owners.' Charlotte Russell & Dog Robert - Gillingham, Dorset

'I really enjoyed the videos and the brilliant and pretty informational PDF’s that accompany them. My Chihuahua loves his new species appropriate diet  which includes foods I would never have thought of giving him. Thank you Do Good!!!' Mimi Elias & Dog Jehst - Acton, London

'After finishing the Do Good course I feel in charge of giving my new puppy Royston, the best start in life.  I was shocked to learn the damaging ingredients in standard dog food & how it can lead to so many diseases, but now I have peace of mind that I know exactly what I’m giving my puppy & why it’s the right food for his species, plus I’ve got some recipes to make treats for him too. Thank you for a wonderfully put together course that both me & Royston are very grateful for! Kelly Dunworth & Dog Royston - Weybridge, Surrey

 'I found the course very good and very informative.  A lot of the stuff I know now, but 6 months ago it was a nightmare to find out what to do for Amber due to her compromised immune system. Since changing her diet and the amount I feed her she has lost weight and has loads more energy too. I think everyone should do this course before they get a puppy.' Susan Brooker & Dog Amber - Wiggywags Dog Walker

'After doing the course, we were shocked by how many nasties are in common dog foods!!! Scooby was getting scabs at the edges of his ears and after doing the course and switching him to a natural diet we have noticed such a difference in him. He is in much better condition and his ears have completely cleared up. Thank you Do Good.' Fi Balkwill & Dog Scooby - Wandsworth, London
