“When I decided it was time I educate myself in order to better advocate for my dogs, I didn’t know where to turn. I started watching webinars and summits by the holistic vets I was researching. One of them was attached to CIVT, so naturally I looked into the website for anything I thought might help me. I am a little “long in the tooth” so was hesitant to take an actual class, but their Natural Animal Nutrition course was exactly what I was looking for. It was semi self-paced which allowed me the flexibility to study when I could. I enjoyed the lessons and the videos. I printed out everything so I could go back later and re-remember some of the information. I also enjoyed the challenge of the assessments we did at the end of some modules. I still use the ADF software to back up my home cooked diets. I would definitely recommend this course for others!”

“I recently completed the Certification in Veterinary Natural Nutrition course. What I liked most about the course was creating home-made diets with the Animal Diet Formulator program. The commercial diet part is also really important, because we come back to everything that we previously learned and see it with a new perspective.”

“I recommend the Certification Veterinary Natural Nutrition course for any veterinarian interested in improving their knowledge of nutrition and diets in dogs and cats. It contains an excellent depth and breadth of information, beyond what I expected, delivered in an easy to access and practical manner. The assessments are relevant to 'real world' cases, not just theoretical academics, and provide practice at using the Animal Diet Formulator software. Dr Kelly Halls is an excellent tutor, providing helpful and professional feedback. I now feel much more confident counselling clients on creating and selecting natural and homemade diets for their pets. Thank you!”

“I really enjoyed the course. It was very thorough with practical information. I already knew a lot about herbal medicine and this course helped me expand on that knowledge while gaining more confidence and skills. I loved hearing our tutor, Dr Monica Chapman’s, personal experience and her case studies. The study was do-able with my busy mum/work life schedule.”

“I wanted to express my gratitude for the support and knowledge I gained through this course. It has significantly enhanced my practice. Recently, I opened my own facility, where I am now helping many patients with their rehabilitation. I’ve been integrating the valuable insights from this course with my prior expertise in manual therapy, oriental herbal treatments, acupuncture, and geriatric therapeutic exercises. I’ve successfully applied the knowledge from this course not only for dogs but also for cats and other pets. Dr Tanya’s thorough explanations and willingness to address all my questions have been invaluable, helping me better understand each patient’s unique needs. This has greatly boosted my confidence and improved my practice over time. Additionally, I requested a printed certificate, and it was sent to me promptly without any issues. Thank you once again for everything!”

"I am a full-time agility and flyball trainer and own four Border Collies that I compete with in agility, flyball, rally and obedience. I really enjoyed this course! It was very informative and gave me the tools I need to be the best possible owner and handler to my sporting dogs. I loved learning more about dogs' gait and movement, and how to analyze them, I also enjoyed the acupressure module.  I would recommend this course to anyone working with dogs daily."

"I enjoyed the Essentials of Veterinary Medicinal Mushrooms course immensely. Dr. Silver is a great instructor, he was very thorough while still making the material accessible. It was fast paced which I found helpful to be more immersed into the content. I am looking forward to incorporating medicinal mushrooms into my clinical practice. I am also currently enrolled in the Veterinary Integrative Therapeutic Nutrition Course with an expected completion date of early 2025 and see a synergistic benefit of using medicinal mushrooms in conjunction with a homemade diet for many medical conditions. Highly recommend this course!"

“My passion for integrative medicine began with my health journey. After suffering from back and hip pain for over two years, nothing was helping until I tried acupuncture. As my health improved, I became inspired to offer my patients the same holistic care and healing through Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine. Completing the GDVA from CIVT has empowered me to provide holistic, effective care, improving both patient outcomes and client satisfaction. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and how it was delivered, the tutors were very helpful and always had time to answer questions and concerns.”

“As a Veterinarian I am frequently asked advice on pet diets. Most of the training I received at university was sponsored by pet food manufacturers and centred around their prescription diets. This left me feeling very under-qualified to offer any alternative advice. The Cert Vet Nutrition Course gave me exactly what I was looking for: an overview of key nutrition concepts and the tools to choose the right diet for the patient, including the option to formulate a balanced tailor-made diet. I found the course unbiased and highly practical. This is the information that we should have been taught at university.”

“The CIVT Certification in Veterinary Natural Nutrition course was above and beyond what I expected. It is THE course that was missing from my vet school curriculum. Coming from a predominantly conventional medicine background, I was hesitant to take this course because of my assumed biases. I was pleasantly surprised by how comprehensive and evidence-based the course was. The assignments were incredibly useful for my training  - unlike a multiple choice exam, my skills were actually put to the test with formulation assignments using the Animal Diet Formulator. I recommend this course to any veterinarian with an interest in nutrition, you won't be disappointed.”

"I was looking for a course to "upgrade" my knowledge of dog and cat nutrition because I work in the pet industry. My job requires that I attend to clients' queries on pet food and nutrition. This course in Natural Animal Nutrition is just what I needed. I found the course content very relevant to my daily work. The course is science-backed, easy to follow, has a clear structure, and is flexible enough to work around my work schedule. The tutors and lecturers are very knowledgeable and quick to respond to any questions that we may have. I've learnt so much in this course. The skills and knowledge gained from the course are invaluable. I feel more equipped and confident to talk to my clients about pet food and nutrition now that I have finished the course. In my opinion, anybody, professionals or pet owners alike, should take this course."
