Build Your Puppy’s Health From the Beginning
A practical guide to feeding and supporting puppies in alignment with their evolutionary biology — laying strong foundations for long-term health.
Available as the Puppy Wellness Manual or the complete Puppy Wellness Program (including 1:1 support and bonus resources).
The early months of a puppy’s life shape their metabolic resilience, immune capacity, musculoskeletal development, and long-term health trajectory.
What you feed.
How you support detoxification.
How you reduce inflammatory load.
How you guide growth.
These are not small decisions. They are foundational ones.

Built from clinical practice
I’m Ruth Hatten — animal naturopath, pet nutritionist,
and former lawyer with over a decade of experience supporting companion animals.
In clinical practice, I repeatedly see adult dogs struggling with digestive instability, allergic disease, orthopaedic stress, chronic inflammation, behavioural dysregulation, and immune sensitivity. Many of these patterns are influenced by early-life nutrition, toxic burden, and growth-stage imbalances.
The Puppy Wellness Program was created to help guardians establish strong metabolic foundations, appropriate mineral balance, informed decision-making, and long-term physiological resilience.
This is not trend-based feeding advice. It is structured, evidence-informed guidance grounded in lived clinical experience.
Choose your level of support
The Puppy Wellness Manual
For guardians who want a structured, evidence-informed guide to raising their puppy with confidence.

✔ Clear feeding principles aligned with evolutionary biology
✔ Growth-stage nutritional calculations
✔ Mineral balance guidance
✔ Practical hygiene and meal preparation frameworks
✔ Strategies for reducing toxic burden from the start
This is your comprehensive, self-paced foundation.
The Complete Puppy Wellness Program
For guardians who want deeper clarity, personalised direction, and early-stage precision.
Includes everything in the Manual, plus:
✔ A 30-minute 1:1 video consultation
✔ The Real Food Diet for Dogs eBook
✔ The Guide to Natural Parasite Prevention
✔ Tailored guidance based on your puppy’s breed, size, and growth stage
This is the full foundation — structured, personalised, and preventative.
The kind of dog your puppy becomes is not accidental.
Resilience is built quietly — in daily rhythms, mineral balance, nervous system stability, and intelligent restraint around what the body does not need.
Health is not created through intensity.
It is created through appropriate inputs, physiological respect, and long-term thinking.
When foundations are set well, the body does not need to fight so hard later.
This is not about perfection.
It is about direction.
A steady, informed start.
Fewer corrections required down the track.
A dog whose system learns to regulate rather than compensate.
That is the work.
And that is what this program is designed to help you build.
