“Julie Churchill made nutrition understandable by dispelling myths, focusing on basic concepts and making the necessary mathematics user-friendly. In this 2-day course, Julie taught us how to evaluate the various commercial diets and develop an appropriate diet to meet a pet's energy and nutritional needs. The skill set she taught would enable any veterinarian to offer nutritional counseling in the clinic with greater ease without an impact on busy schedules. With the rise in obesity among our companion animals and the effect it has on their bodies, the information Julie presented is a must for any practicing veterinarian and will prove invaluable."
–Holly Greene, PhD, PT, ATC,
San Leandro, California

“As a PT, I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn so much from the nutrition course. I feel I'm far more knowledgeable now than I am for human patients on this topic!"
–Kelli Koga, PT, CCRT, Lafayette, Colorado

“Excellent program. Very valuable information that I will take home to my practice!"
