Level 3 Canine Health And Nutrition Diploma

 

Canine health and nutrition is a topic that not enough people know about, and the demand for canine nutritionists is growing. The announcement of this course, exclusive to BCCS has been well received and much anticipated.

There are a variety of variables which can affect the health of our dog. If we know how we can prevent diseases and parasites, it can give some peace of mind that we are giving our dogs the best possible start, as well as keeping those vet bills down. Choosing a new puppy or dog is also covered as you want to get this right for your family.

Nutrition is a vital part of your dogs health. There are so many different foods on the market for dogs it can be very confusing choosing the right one for your dog. However if you know what nutrients they need, you can make an informed decision. Canine health and nutrition can be very scientific, so this course aims to break it down to the essentials that you need to know. Many dogs now also suffer from allergies and have special nutritional needs during different stages of their life.

As with humans many believe that a holistic approach to healthcare is better than using drugs to treat ailments and so alternative therapies are sought. Raw feeding is a part of this holistic approach to health for many owners and this is covered in depth and considered as a preventative to ill health and behaviour – as well as an approach to address the same.

 

On completion the student will:

  • Be able to identify a healthy dog and the symptoms of ill health.
  • Know how to prevent problems arising, such as disease and parasites.
  • Provide a good balanced diet for dog which has all the nutrients it requires.

  • Understand the alternative or holistic health therapies that can be used instead of conventional medicine.
