It's me… Barbara Kremers and my Akita dog KenshoMy name is Barbara Kremers, chief editor of this website and the proud owner of a Japanese Akita dog (formerly known as Akita Inu). My dog is a fussy eater and he's very sensitive as well. This is why I started researching dog food in the first place.
I have a background in biochemistry and health sciences, also
I completed a course in dog and cat nutrition (oups… the C-word
).
I want you to know that I'm not a veterinarian.
It is your responsibility to consult with a licensed, practicing Doctor of Veterinarian Medicine (DVM) (or equivalent in your country) before making any changes to your method of feeding or any other matter of dog care for any dogs for which you have any responsiblity or contribute, in any way, to their care.
That said, there are several ways of contacting different persons depending on the type of question or remark you have.
I have now partnered with JustAnswer so that you can get an answer ASAP. You can always see how many veterinarians are online, before you submit your question.
Customer satisfaction is guaranteed! You will have the option to view and "Accept" Experts' answers before agreeing to pay them for their work. Offline veterinarians often charge much more for their services, but… remember that an online vet cannot examine your dog, perform tests or first aid.
Send questions and comments to me via the form below. I'm always curious to hear feedback, questions, thoughts, new ideas for improving the site! Your comment/question appears on this website (either below or on a more relevant page) only after I approve it.
Make sure you include your mail address so I can contact you personally (it won't be published on the site).
IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS FORM TO ASK ME FOR ADVICE ON INDIVIDUAL DOG PROBLEMS. VISIT OR ASK A VET INSTEAD.
