With 20+ years of canine behavior experience and professional nutrition credentials, Michael Konstantaras helps uncover the root causes behind your dog's health and behavior challenges — then builds a custom feeding plan based on your dog, not generic advice.
Almost no one combines deep canine behavior expertise with professional nutrition credentials. That's exactly what Michael brings. He looks at the full picture — what your dog eats, how they behave, and how those two things are connected.
Every recommendation is built around your specific dog — their breed, age, history, and your budget. Not a one-size-fits-all feeding chart.
Book a Consultation — $149For over 20 years, I've dedicated my career to improving dogs' lives — not just through behavior, but through nutrition and overall wellness. My passion comes from a genuine belief that every dog deserves an individualized approach, not a one-size-fits-all feeding plan.
"I'm also passionate about helping owners navigate a complex industry. My commitment is to help you understand the evidence, ask informed questions, and make confident decisions based on your dog."
— Michael Konstantaras, CPCN
These aren't just "quirks." They're your dog communicating with you. Michael has helped thousands of families recognize and solve these exact problems through nutrition and training alone.
I've been an entrepreneur for over 30 years. Since graduating in 1992, I've built and run businesses ranging from an employee benefits insurance agency to bars, restaurants, and a high-end men's clothing boutique. But my true calling emerged in an unexpected way — when I brought home my first dog, Jake, a pit bull, even though I was afraid of dogs at the time.
Hiring a trainer to help with Jake changed my life. I threw myself into canine behavior, and for more than 20 years since, I've worked with over 5,000 dogs — helping families understand and support their pets. That passion eventually grew into nutrition, where I saw firsthand how profoundly what a dog eats affects their health and behavior.
Today, as a Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist, my mission is simple: help dog owners make informed nutrition decisions through personalized guidance grounded in each dog's unique needs. Every dog is different, and my commitment is to help you give your dog the healthiest life possible.
Canine Nutrition Consulting is dedicated to educating dog owners about the direct link between nutrition, training, and longevity. We believe every dog — regardless of their owner's income — deserves access to real information.
These aren't overnight transformations. They're what happens when you commit to real nutrition and understanding your dog's needs.
If your dog's food sits in the bowl for hours — or all day — it's not because they're "picky." It's because the food doesn't smell like food to a carnivore's biology. Commercial dry dog food is cooked at extreme temperatures that destroy natural odor and nutritional value, then sprayed with synthetic flavoring agents. Your dog's instincts reject it. Raw and lightly cooked whole foods — chicken breast, ground beef, organ meats — are consumed in seconds by the same dog who "won't eat." That's not a behavioral problem. That's communication.
Chronic diarrhea, loose stools, gas, and vomiting are epidemic in commercial-kibble-fed dogs. Corn, soy, wheat gluten, carrageenan, and artificial preservatives like BHA and BHT are common ingredients in even premium-branded foods — and all are known gut irritants for canines. A dog's digestive system evolved to process meat and bone, not grain-based carbohydrates. When the food matches the biology, digestive issues often resolve within days without medication or supplements.
Seasonal allergies are often blamed for dogs who constantly scratch, chew their paws, or develop hot spots. But in many cases, the cause is systemic inflammation from food — specifically, immune reactions to proteins in over-processed food, filler grains, and chemical additives. Switching to a single-protein whole food diet eliminates the variable and, in many cases, eliminates the symptom. Your dog doesn't need allergy shots. They need different food.
A 10-pound Chihuahua and a 90-pound German Shepherd do not need the same food. Breed-specific metabolic rates, activity levels, joint vulnerabilities, and known hereditary conditions all factor into an optimal nutritional plan. Michael creates customized whole-food feeding guides tailored to your dog's specific breed, age, health history, and your family's budget — because real nutrition doesn't have to mean expensive.
Four steps — from your first conversation to staying on track long-term.
