Helping dogs thrive
with whole food
nutrition.

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.

🥩
Real food works faster than you think.
Most owners who switch to a whole-food diet see measurable improvement in their dog's digestion, coat, energy, and behavior within 7–14 days — without a single vet visit or new medication.
💊
Stop managing. Start fixing.
Allergy meds, ear drops, and steroid injections treat symptoms. Food changes treat causes.
💰
Built for your budget.
Real nutrition doesn't have to be expensive. Every plan is tailored to what you can actually afford.

Over 20 years. 5,000+ dogs.
One unbreakable commitment.

For 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.

🧠
Behavior + Nutrition Together
Almost nobody combines deep behavior work with nutrition credentials. Michael does both — which means he catches root causes that a nutrition-only or training-only approach would miss.
🎓
CPCN Certified — Vet Recommended
Michael holds the CPCN designation — Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist — a vet-recommended, RACE-approved credential. His guidance complements, never replaces, your veterinary care.
🚫

Michael is not affiliated with or compensated by any pet food manufacturer. Every recommendation is driven by one question: what's genuinely in this dog's best interest?

"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."

Sound Familiar?

The signs are right in front of you.
Most owners just don't know what they mean.

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.

01 🍽️
Does your dog's food sit in the bowl all day?
Your dog isn't a "grazer" — they're a carnivore sending you a message. Over-processed kibble filled with synthetic fillers doesn't smell or taste like food to a dog's instincts. There's a fix.
02 🤢
Does your dog have chronic diarrhea or digestive problems?
Loose stools, chronic gas, and vomiting are among the most common signs of food intolerance and gut inflammation. The culprit is almost always what's in the bowl.
03 🐾
Does your dog scratch himself or lick his paws excessively?
Paw licking and itchy skin are the body's inflammation response — often triggered by corn, soy, wheat, and artificial preservatives hiding in commercial pet food.
04 😵
Are you overwhelmed by all the different types of dog foods out there?
Grain-free, raw, freeze-dried, breed-specific, life-stage formulas... the pet food industry is a $50B marketing machine. We'll show you how to cut through the noise.
05 🧬
Would you like a customized diet made for your dog's specific breed?
A Labrador has completely different metabolic needs than a Chihuahua or a German Shepherd. One-size-fits-all food is not a solution. Your dog deserves a plan built for them.
06 💊
Is your dog on medication for conditions that started with their diet?
Allergies, joint problems, obesity, skin issues — many dogs are medicated for conditions that are diet-driven. Whole food nutrition often eliminates the need for ongoing medication entirely.

Watch. Learn. Transform
your dog's life.

Does Your Dog Scratch, Lick Their Paws, or Have Chronic Diarrhea?
These aren't quirks — they're inflammation signals. Michael explains exactly what your dog's body is telling you, and how food is almost always the cause.
Why Your Vet May Not Recommend Raw Food
It's not about science — it's about incentives. Michael breaks down why conventional vets often steer away from raw feeding, and what the research actually shows.

Michael Konstantaras, CPCN
Certified Pet Psychologist & Professional Canine Nutritionist

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.

My golden retriever hadn't eaten a full meal in two years. Within three days of switching to Michael's whole food plan, she ate every last bite. I cried.

Everything you were taught about feeding your dog is worth questioning.

Why Your Dog Won't Eat Their Kibble

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.

The Connection Between Dog Food and Digestive Problems

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.

What Paw Licking and Excessive Scratching Really Mean

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.

Custom Nutrition Plans by Breed, Age & Budget

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.
