Animal nutritionist Richard Patton is committed to improving the health and well-being of animals. While veterinary medicine is by nature crisis oriented, nutrition is not. Nutrition deficiencies slowly progress until the animal develops one health crisis after another.

Working for decades with numerous species all over the world, Dr. Patton has learned an important fundamental–that left to their own resources, animals tend to thrive. It is in the care of people that things go wrong. Well-intentioned but misinformed animal owners are the cause of most nutritionally based, degenerative health problems.

Based on years of experience and scientific study, Richard Patton provides consultation and information on proper diet. He knows that communication requires clear understanding, so he provides the animal owner with the background information they require to properly provide for the needs of their pets or livestock. Having consulted for food and feed companies in numerous different cultures, Dr. Patton brings a unique insight to evaluating animal feed and food products. From pandas and tigers, to cats and cows, nutrition fundamentals are unchanging, and a clear understanding of this is the key to vibrant health.

Unfortunately, many of our animals survive in spite of us, because of their exquisite adaptability. But with a better knowledge of nutrition fundamentals, the animals in our lives can live longer, happier, healthier lives.
