Animal Nutrition
Browse animal nutritionists on BreederHQ Marketplace. Veterinary nutritionists for medical cases, performance-feeding specialists for working and sport animals, raw and BARF diet formulators, and equine and livestock nutrition consultants. The right nutritionist for a kidney patient is not the right one for a sport horse, and vice versa.

How to Browse on the Marketplace
Filters that matter for finding the right nutritionist:
- Case type. Medical (kidney disease, IBD, allergies) vs. performance (working/sport) vs. general feeding. Different specialists, different methodologies.
- Species. Small animal, equine, and livestock nutrition are different fields with different research bases.
- Credential. DACVN (board-certified veterinary nutritionist), PhD in animal nutrition, equine nutrition certification (ESNS), or veterinary degree with nutrition focus.
- Consultation format. Remote consultation is the norm. In-person for working herds and barns where lab analysis happens on-site.
What to Look For When Hiring a Nutritionist
- Verifiable credential. DACVN is the gold standard for medical cases. PhD in animal nutrition for research-grade work. "Pet nutritionist" certifications from short online courses are not equivalent.
- Working with your veterinarian. Medical cases require coordination with the treating vet: diagnostics, medication interactions, recheck cadence.
- Full ration analysis. A real consultation analyzes the full ration against NRC requirements, not just adds a supplement.
- Written diet plan with rationale. Ingredient list, amounts, supplements, transition protocol, and the science behind each choice.
- Honest scope on raw and BARF. Raw diets done badly are dangerous. A good formulator runs nutrient profiles, not just "add organ meat."
- Reasonable claims. Nutritionists who promise to fix things diet can't fix are selling something else.
