This intensive service runs for the whole first year of life and entails regular adjustment of energy and nutrients as well as supplementation as required. $400.00 for the full year; reductions if we start at a later age. For a full outline of the service, please contact me at catlane@thepossiblecanine.com. A shorter puppy service may also be negotiable in cases where the owner requires minimal support.

For all newcomers attemtping to rear pups on home made diet, I recommend the full service. It includes ongoing adjustments with regard to weight, all nutrient requirements, supplementation information, access to my E-booklet FAQs, my booklet on natural rearing and nutrition, email support up to 5 per week, and phone consultations as needed.

 

8. Multi-Dog Households
I am happy to help those of you who are struggling with home made diet for two or more dogs. Because the amount of time it takes me to handle these cases will vary greatly (are there 2 dogs to feed or 10? Any seniors? Pups? Health conditions? performance dogs?) the fee cannot reasonably be decided until I discuss it with the owner. I endeavour in these cases to devise batch recipes as much as I can and use common ingredients if the dietary percentages need to vary from one dog to the next, which they pretty much always do! Fees will be set according to the estimated work hours I will need to put in. Updates to my existing services include an FAQ sheet for each dog including substitutions, conversions and cooking tips, any published booklets pertinent to your household, plus treat and specialty recipes and one hour long phone consultation (as needed).

 

9. Phone Consultation
on any related subject, $50.00 one hour.

 

10. Bach Flower Essence Consultation
Assessment and Recommendations: This service involves an email correspondence whereby you fill in a questionnaire regarding your dog's personality and behaviour, and I send you suggestions for a personal Bach Flower Essence blend, as well as recommednations for individual remedies that may be helpful in specific situations. My fee for a nutrition client is $25.00 and for those who want only the Bach consultation, $60.00. At this time we accept personal cheques only, and all fees are in US funds.

 

NOTE: Extra time can also be purchased if the above time frames are not adequate, as in the case of the dog with severe or ongoing illness who requires more attention. My fee for an extra month of email support and guidance is $75.00. This includes phone calls and written correspondence regarding your dog's condition, research and assessment of additional natural support options,and as always all information will be CCed to your veterinarian.
