Pawsitive Nutrition: Feeding Your Dog the Right Way is a comprehensive, straight-talking guide written by Renee Patience, an experienced dog trainer and behaviourist with over 30 years of hands-on work with dogs and their owners. This book is part of the Pawsitive Series and is designed to take the confusion and pressure out of feeding your dog.
It covers every stage of your dog’s life, from early puppyhood to their slower senior years, and helps you understand how to adjust their diet as their needs change. You’ll learn what actually makes up a complete and balanced meal, how to read labels properly and how to avoid being misled by marketing. Whether you’re feeding dry, wet, raw or home-cooked, the book offers practical guidance to help you choose what works best for your dog and your lifestyle.
The book also tackles common feeding challenges including picky eating, weight management, food intolerances and sensitivities. You’ll find realistic support for managing allergies, working with medical diets and making sure your dog stays hydrated and energised throughout the day.
Treats and chews are included too, with advice on how to use them in a way that supports training, confidence and calm behaviour. There are clear sections on using food during cue training and how to balance meals when treats are used regularly.
If you’re interested in sustainability, there’s also a chapter focused on ethical feeding choices, low-waste habits and how to choose brands that prioritise both your dog’s health and the planet.
Everything is explained in a way that makes sense without being overwhelming. You won’t find fads or strict feeding rules here – just calm, considered advice based on what actually works with real dogs in real homes.
Whether you are a new dog owner or have had dogs for years, this book will help you build a feeding routine that feels simple, manageable and supportive for both you and your dog.
