"Hear what some of our participants have to say" 

I was part of the pilot program for the nutritional nurse consulting course, I found the content very relevant
and learned skills that are easily transferable. This course provided me with confidence, knowledge and a
great stepping stone to becoming a Veterinary Technician Specialist in Nutrition."

The Hill's Nurse Nutrition course has given me a new purpose in the clinic, and I love it! We have been able to help a lot of clients and their pets, by supporting and treating different health problems all with a simple change of diet. The vets I work with love referring  their patients to me after their consultation, where I continue to help support their needs. We have helped break the cycle of chronic anal gland issues in multiple dogs, got diabetic cats into remission, helped animals with kidney failure stay comfortable, and see obese and arthritic pets start playing with their owners in comfort again! We have always had the tools, but now we know how to use them to the fullest.
