Katherine

Practicing Nutritional Therapist

Katherine is a practicing Nutritional Therapist (human nutrition) for more than 10 years. She has helped hundreds of clients heal naturally with nutrients. Her passion for nutrition soon spilled over into pets. Today, as a pet wellness advisor with a Singapore-based company, she consults on canine and feline nutrition and writes regularly on various pet wellness topics.

While nutrition is for the overall well-being of the dog, first-responder skills are crucial in an emergency. In wanting to provide better care for her own pets, she took up Canine First Responder training. Recognizing the importance of dog first aid for pet owners and pet care professionals, she hopes to arm as many pet lovers as possible with these life-saving skills and underwent comprehensive training to become a certified Canine First Responder Instructor. Katherine is committed to helping pet owners make informed dietary and lifestyle choices in nurturing healthy and happy pets.
