After college, I spent 5 years in guide dogs as a pup supervisor and guide dog trainer. Fourteen years ago while I was working in Guide Dogs Australia, the true powers of raw feeding came to light. Since then, bar a couple of years as a producer myself, I have been a full-time writer, speaker and dedicated advocate for natural canine food and health (available at my website www.dogsfirst.ie). As a dog lover and keen researcher, the subject fascinates and consumes me, providing me with near bottomless rabbit holes that demand exploration. I live with my wife and daughter in Wicklow, Ireland, and am proud father to a slightly odd blue roan cocker called Dudley. What he lacks in brains and finesse he makes up with single-minded determination, although that statement is equally true for the both of us.
