Meet Hannah Zulueta | Certified Canine Nutritionist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Hannah Zulueta and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Hannah, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Having fed my own dogs a natural diet (cooked and raw) for years, I saw that other dog parents were wanting to pursue this path as well. I know the path is long with a lot of detours and felt that by starting a business providing services to guide others, I could help them avoid any mistakes. And get them to feeding complete and balanced meals right away.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
The Western approach to nutrition looks at things like protein, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, fats, etc. Whereas the ancient Chinese makes no clear distinction between food and medicine. The Chinese say food and medicine are from the same source. Respect for the healing properties that food contains is woven into what is eaten daily (for humans) and what is fed (to animals).

Like Yin and Yang are complementary to each other and co-exist I take both concepts and lean heavily into Chinese beliefs about food, when selecting ingredients when formulating recipes for my clients.

This is what makes me unique. I incorporate the wisdom from both sides to personalize recipes for each dog.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
There are many paths to health. A meal can be prepared a multitude of ways but it wasn’t until I read Dr. Judy Morgan’s book Yin and Yang Nutrition for dogs that it re-ignited an old practice in feeding dogs in a way to keep them in harmony through intentional selection of food personalized to the dog.

I’ve not only read her work I follow what she shares on her social media and youtube and her approach is what inspired me in my own approach to food.
