About
Kimberly Lloyd
PhD · BCHHP · Clinical Canine Nutritionist
As a nutrition practitioner and provider, my objective is to replace nutritional guesswork with absolute scientific certainty. The current landscape of pet care leaves dedicated pet parents navigating an overwhelming deficit of objective, data-driven insights while managing increasingly complex canine health conditions.
Proper nutrition is a therapeutic intervention that demands rigorous, mathematically sound execution. Holding a Doctorate in Holistic Nutrition alongside advanced canine and feline nutrition credentials, I provide the clinical evaluation, diagnostic review, and exact formulation standards required to manage complex chronic pathologies and optimize lifelong longevity.

Background
Decades of Specialized Expertise in Canine Vitality
The clinical methodology utilized at The Holistic Canine is the product of over twenty-five years of dedicated work within the fields of human and animal health, nutrition science, and veterinary tech support systems.
My career began within veterinary clinical environments, providing an early education in formal pathology and diagnostic frameworks. To support a growing family, this evolved into an eighteen-year tenure operating a highly successful, home-based holistic canine care and grooming enterprise in New York. This period served as an intensive, real-time study in animal longevity and physical health, granting me a meticulous eye for the early systemic markers of nutritional deficiencies and metabolic stress.
Today, my focus is entirely dedicated to advanced canine nutrition therapeutics. By combining decades of hands-on physical experience with a Doctorate in Holistic Nutrition, a board-certified clinical status, and specialized credentials in clinical canine and feline nutrition, naturopathy, and raw food formulation, I provide pet parents and veterinary professionals with an uncompromised standard of evidence-based care.
Professional Focus
Species-appropriate nutrition
Diet built around what your dog's biology actually requires — not what's convenient to manufacture or market.
Clinical disease management
Therapeutic formulation for dogs with diagnosed conditions: renal, hepatic, GI, oncology, endocrine, dermatological.
Longevity & prevention
For healthy dogs, fresh food isn't a trend — it's the most evidence-supported tool for a longer, higher-quality life.
Nutrition research & education
Ongoing study in nutrition, physiology, and longevity keeps the practice grounded in current science, not legacy dogma.
Philosophy
How I approach every case.
Individualized Assessment
No two dogs are the same. Every plan begins with a thorough intake covering health history, life stage, activity level, medical diagnostics, and individual tolerances — not a template.
Evidence-Based Standards
All formulations are grounded in NRC 2006 nutrient requirements, AAFCO profiles, and FEDIAF guidelines — the same standards used by veterinary nutrition researchers.
Collaborative Care
Nutrition works alongside veterinary medicine, not in place of it. For clinical cases, we communicate directly with your vet and provide written reports they can use in ongoing care.
