Holistic Nutritional Therapy for Dogs and Cats with Customized Fresh Food Recipes for Healing and Prevention.

Voedingstherapie: Optimale natuurlijke voeding voor jouw hond of kat om aandoeningen te voorkomen en/of te genezen.

Help your pet thrive with a custom fresh food recipe, designed to prevent or treat conditions and ensure long-term heath.

"Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be they food."

Your pet’s health begins with the right nutrition. Whether your pet is dealing with chronic issues like kidney disease, skin allergies, or weight management struggles, or you simply want to prevent future health problems, a personalized fresh food plan can dramatically improve their well-being and quality of life.

Nutritional therapy can make a significant difference in managing and preventing health issues, offering solutions for common pet health concerns, so you spend less time at the vet and more time enjoying life with your pet.

Here’s what a custom nutrition plan can do:

  • Chronic Illness Support: Target chronic conditions such as kidney disease, arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes with diets designed to reduce symptoms and improve long-term health.
  • Skin & Coat Health: Alleviate issues like itchy skin, hot spots, and shedding with specific nutrients that promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.
  • Food Allergies & Sensitivities: Provide relief from digestive discomfort, itching, and inflammation with plans that eliminate common allergens and use fresh, wholesome ingredients.
  • Weight Management: Safely help your pet achieve a healthy weight, reducing the risk of obesity-related conditions like osteoarthritis, joint pain, and diabetes.
  • Digestive Support: Improve gut health and resolve common issues like vomiting, diarrhea, or bloating through balanced, species-appropriate ingredients.

 

By using food as a foundation for healing and prevention, you can help your pet live a longer, happier, and more comfortable life—while reducing costly vet visits and medications.

A tailor-made fresh food diet for your pet

Every pet is unique, and their diet should be too. A custom pet nutrition plan goes far beyond what a commercial diet can offer by considering everything that makes your dog or cat special.

A Personalized diet for dogs and cats means we consider:

  • Breed, age, and activity level (a high-energy sports dog has very different needs than a laid-back couch companion).
  • Health conditions (like kidney disease, where fresh, high-quality proteins and low phosphate are key).
  • Medications, environment, your preferences as a pet parent and more.

 

Using advanced tools, I create tailor-made fresh food diets that are customized to your pet’s specific needs. Whether your dog needs a high-energy diet, or your cat has food allergies, I’ll design a custom fresh food recipe plan that provides the nutrition they need to thrive. This approach ensures every meal is complete and balanced and provides exactly what your pet needs for optimal health.

I’ve seen firsthand how switching to a personalized plan can help pets heal and thrive, just by making the right adjustments to their diet.

How nutritional therapy can help.

  • Your dog or cat has a condition in which nutrition plays a role. Nutrition plays an important role in most disorders. Optimizing the diet can really make a big difference. It can reduce symptoms, slow the progression, and sometimes even heal the condition.
  • As a pro-active pet parent, you want to do everything you can to keep your fur baby happy and healthy. A custom pet nutrition plan can make a big difference and can help to prevent many problems down the line.
  • Finding a suitable diet can be difficult when your furry friend has a food intolerance. With a tailor-made fresh food diet we can adjust the diet to your pet’s unique needs.
  • When your pet has a combination of diseases it’s extra challenging to find an appropriate diet. For example, when your cat has a food allergy and elevated kidney values, or your dog is on a special diet for a sensitive stomach but also developed elevated liver values. A custom pet nutrition plan can take all the necessary factors into account.
  • More than half of dogs and cats are overweight. Being overweight has many disadvantages including a higher risk for conditions like osteoarthritis, bladder disease, cancer, and diabetes. A tailor-made nutrition plan can make a big difference by ensuring that the amount of calories is low enough to lose weight while still making sure that the diet has all the necessary nutrients for optimal health.
  • And there are many more reasons. If in doubt, please feel free to contact me to discuss your pet’s options.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diet for pets

Chinese nutritional therapy takes a holistic approach to pet health. Every food has a unique effect on the body, and by using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles, we can balance your pet’s energy and support healing. For example, if your pet lacks yang energy (too little heat), I would recommend warming foods that support their balance. Whether your pet has digestive issues or needs support for kidney disease, a TCM-based diet can restore balance and improve their well-being.

Through my expertise in Acupuncture and Chinese Nutritional Therapy, I can help prevent or treat a range of disorders, restoring balance in your pet’s body. This approach is especially helpful for pets suffering from chronic conditions like arthritis, digestive issues, or anxiety, as it addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.

To apply Chinese Nutritional Therapy for pets, I first conduct a thorough evaluation using both Western and Eastern methods to make a Chinese diagnosis. From there, I create a tailored nutrition plan that fits your pet’s unique needs. This therapy can be combined with acupuncture for even better results, though it’s not always necessary.

With TCM diets for pets, we focus on using food as medicine to help your dog or cat heal, thrive, and live in harmony.

Reviews from my customers

"Switching to fresh food is the best decision we have ever made for our dogs! Our oldest miniature Schnauzer had been eating kibble for 8 years. Due to being overweight, she was only allowed to eat 1/4 of the amount, so she was constantly hungry. She had little energy, played little, couldn't jump on the bed on her own, and walks were very stressful for her. She is now eating more and losing weight. She has more energy and is acting like a 2 year old puppy again. Our second dog made a snoring sound for which we have already been to three vets and a specialist. Since she gets fresh food, she still makes this sound 2 times a day instead of every 20 minutes. If you are unsure about starting with fresh food..... Do it! It will be the best decision you ever make for your animals. Anneke, thank you very much for everything!"

"I can't believe how happy and healthy he is with his new diet. A few months ago I asked Anneke for help with his nutrition. She responded very quickly and was very patient with my millions of questions! She is now the nutritionist for all my dogs! Thank you so much! "

"Ever since Frans Ferdinand moved in with me from the shelter about ten years ago, he has had problems with his intestines. He had diarrhoea very often and he threw up a few times a week. Many studies later, there was a good chance that this was something chronic. What's next? On medication for the rest of his life? Well, what has to be done, has to be done, but I would rather have a more natural solution. Fortunately, Anneke was there with her experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This was an option that appealed to me much more than one with chemicals. After a 'Chinese' diagnosis, she put together a tailor-made diet for Fer, using only fresh ingredients. We introduced it step by step. Who would have thought that the gentleman would eat things with taste that are not the cat's at all? If it wasn't already, food has really become the highlight of the day for Fer. But the most important thing is, of course, the result. I have only one word for that: stunning. He rarely throws up anymore, and maybe this is too much information, but he has never produced such beautiful droppings. We've been working on it for about three and a half months now and, as the last scan showed, things don't look as they should on the inside, but they are a lot calmer. It will always be a weak spot and we are watching it like a hawk, but if it continues like this, I will sign up for it. Thank you, Anneke!"

"I think Anneke is a pleasant person to deal with and so does my dog. Noya immediately clicked and that's very nice. Anneke took all the time to write down all the things my dog did and did a general check. Noya got 8 needles in her body while Anneke explained well how that works. My dog just stood there and after a while the needles spontaneously fell out again. Anneke ended the session with a little bit of silliness with Noya and a toy. Now, after three treatments, it's different. Her wrist has improved, her tongue looks completely different and more beautiful. In the house, she is suddenly very confident and behaves like the manager who is completely fed up with the meddlesome behavior of her future pack successor. We were able to admire her teeth here again... And then our best moment: there are again long-lasting fireworks in the street. As usual, my youngest Border Collie comes barking at me. I then sit on the floor and then hold her stiffly against me and then she quickly calms down. The moment I sit like this, I suddenly feel another body against my legs: that of Noya who lies curled up against me. No shivering, very stiff but not hidden in the transport box den that has been forced to be in our living room since September. For me an unprecedented emotional moment because my dog tries to contact me and it doesn't feel like totally unreachable for a while. I am very happy that we started this process and see this as a great tool to help my dog with her fear of death during the fireworks period. Thank you Anneke, this works for us."

"I then started searching the internet for another solution and came across the website of Qi 4 Paws. Acupuncture, well, you have to believe in it, some people say. My email with Maggy's problem was written like this, I didn't have the hope that there was a treatment for it. Anneke wrote; Yes, I do have a treatment for that, and the first consultation was arranged. In this consultation, Anneke asked a lot of questions, she also saw Maggy, lying on the floor as a pile of misery. After her examination she started with needles, these had to stay in place for fifteen minutes, Maggy didn't mind this. Maggy's diet was also adjusted on Anneke's advice. Miracles don't exist, do they? Not that she felt good right away, but you could see Maggy's eyes shining again. She also wanted to go outside with the other dogs, I thought, it won't be those few needles after all. After four appointments I had my Maggy May back, happy and happy that she was. On top of that, Maggy's hair structure has changed, firmer and shiny. Anneke thank you very much, you have given me our Maggy back."

"Our dog Rocky had been suffering from an ear infection in his left ear for almost 1.5 years at short intervals. We also noticed that Rocky was not feeling well. He didn't like to be picked up anymore and growled from time to time. We had already tried almost everything that Western veterinary medicine had to offer Rocky, but the solution had not yet been found. Anneke took all the time for us and for Rocky, explained exactly what she was going to do and did a number of tests with him. And indeed, a number of energy pathways were disrupted, including one that ends at his ear. The pain that Rocky indicated when lifting was also caused by this. After just a few treatments, the pain was gone and we saw that hairs started to grow again behind his ear. Acupuncture, good nutritional advice and the right medication have ensured that his ear infection is cured, his bald spot is completely gone and he no longer has pain. Very special to be able to see and experience up close what can be achieved through close cooperation between Eastern and Western medicine. Grateful to have been given this opportunity."

Questions you may still have:

I can best help you and your dog / cat with a consultation with us at the practice. Because I can see and examine your animal and enter into a dialogue with you, I get the best picture of the situation and I can also give the best advice.

However, for some people it is not possible to come to the practice. They live too far away, have no transportation, or there is another reason. In that case, it is also possible to request an online consultation. For nutritional therapy for disorders, I do need data from your own veterinarian.

A nutrition consultation is intended to ask your questions or to discuss the possibilities for your dog or cat in terms of nutrition and supplements. Nutritional therapy is optimizing the nutrition for your buddy to prevent or treat problems. Nutritional therapy results in a tailor-made nutrition plan based on fresh food.

No, you don’t have to. You can cook/assemble ahead and then store in portions in the fridge and/or freezer Then you only have to add the supplements at the time you start serving it.

When putting together the plan, I take into account the preferences of you and your buddy. If it is the case that there is something in the plan that your buddy does not like, we will adjust the plan.
