Meet Karey Boise
Certified Clinical Pet Nutritionist
Hi, I’m Karey Boise, a Certified Clinical Pet Nutritionist (CPN), Pet Therapeutic Nutrition Coach (PTNC), and founder of Your Pet’s Nutritionist. I have completed 500 hours of study in Clinical Pet Nutrition and additional continuing education in therapeutic nutrition, along with a Bachelor of Arts from William Paterson University.
I help pet parents who are overwhelmed, confused, or worried about their dog or cat’s health—especially when chronic issues are involved and nothing seems to be improving.
My focus is on creating personalized, practical nutrition plans that support real-life health outcomes. I specialize in working with pets who have ongoing concerns such as digestive issues, food sensitivities, allergies, weight changes, and other chronic conditions where diet plays a major role in day-to-day wellbeing.
I believe every pet is unique, and their nutrition plan should reflect that. My role is to help you understand those needs and translate them into a clear, doable feeding plan tailored specifically to your pet.
My foundation is fresh, whole-food-based nutrition, but my approach is always flexible and realistic. Whether you are feeding commercial food, transitioning to homemade diets, or trying to improve what you’re already doing, I help you build a plan that supports your pet’s long-term health without unnecessary stress or overwhelm.
I also believe better nutrition should be accessible. I work with clients at different budgets and help you make meaningful improvements without needing to “do everything perfectly” or completely change everything your pet is eating overnight. Even small changes—like incorporating fresh food or improving diet quality—can make a measurable difference in health and longevity.
My goal is to give you clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward so you’re no longer guessing what your pet needs.
Meet Mayer
The dog that changed everything
In July 2021, I adopted my first puppy—Mayer, a 10-week-old mini Goldendoodle who completely changed the direction of my life.
Our first night home in my Nashville apartment was chaos in the most real way. Within an hour, he had multiple accidents, and I remember thinking, “How am I ever going to figure this out?” I was overwhelmed, unsure, and learning everything from scratch.
Like most new puppy parents, I turned to the internet for help. That’s when I started learning about training, behavior, and eventually dog health and nutrition. As Mayer learned new skills, I became more curious about everything influencing his wellbeing—including what was in his bowl.
.
At the time, Mayer was eating a standard commercial puppy food. He was also dealing with issues like loose stool, watery eyes, and itchy skin. I initially assumed this was “normal puppy stuff,” but the more I observed him, the more I questioned whether it really was.
That curiosity led me into the world of pet nutrition. I began researching, learning from educational content, and exploring different perspectives on canine feeding. I visited local pet stores, started comparing food options, and slowly became aware of how much variation exists in diet quality and formulation.
As I made gradual changes to Mayer’s nutrition, I saw noticeable improvements in his digestion, coat, and overall energy. That experience made me realize how closely diet can be tied to everyday symptoms and quality of life.
Switching to a natural diet
From there, I went deeper. I read The Forever Dog by Dr. Karen Becker and Rodney Habib, and continued expanding my education in pet nutrition. What started as curiosity became a full shift in direction—from a completely different career path in music to a focused commitment to helping pet parents understand nutrition in a practical, supportive way.
Today, Mayer is the reason I do this work. He was my first “why,” and he continues to be part of everything I learn and apply in my practice.
My goal now is to help other pet parents feel less overwhelmed, more informed, and more confident about what they’re feeding their dogs and cats—especially when health concerns are involved.
