Mission Statement
We are an independent association with the aim of serving the dog owner by maintaining high standards of knowledge, empathy and skills in all pet nutrition consultants.
For the nutrition consultant we offer a space to discuss cases as a confidential community and provide support within the role of a nutrition consultant. Provide courses and ongoing CPD to keep updated with current practice.
Our associate members are expected to understand all sectors of the pet food industry as well as nutritional biochemistry.
Understand fresh wholefoods as the underpinning route to health and well being whilst also supporting guardian choices of feeding and canine needs.
We offer a mentorship with the purpose of providing knowledge and a support framework for pet nutrition consultants.
The APNC has been formed by a duo of professionals with a combined experience 56 years within the industry.
