About Dan Scott
Dan was born in the early 60’s on an outback Australian sheep farm handed down for five generations. His earliest memories of dog life were working sheep dogs and his pet dog, a black Labrador retriever called ‘Topsy’ who shared many adventures while roaming on the farmland.
Throughout his life Dan owned dogs and in his thirties he began to question why dogs are no longer fed naturally as they had been for generations on the farm. He considered whether this had an effect on their present day health.
Dan spent the next four years researching the subject, he was so moved by the degeneration of dog’s health since the introduction of commercial dog food just 60 years ago, he decided to do something that would bring about a positive change. He put his findings together in a report entitled ‘Why Your Dog’s Unhealthy’ which he shared initially with family and friends. Dan inspired his local community with his consistent message on the benefits of their dogs eating a real food diet and on daily walks with his dog Rocco, his advice was often sort on anything from feeding to behavioural problems.
Before deciding to write this book, Dan coached many people, helping them understand the many health advantages of feeding their dog a natural diet and teaching them how to save money by switching over from commercial dog food with outstanding results.
Dan is now passionately dedicated to teaching people worldwide the dangers of feeding their beloved companions commercial dog food from cans and packets. He is recognised as a leader in promoting how to have low maintenance dogs with exceptional long lasting health. Dan is a popular speaker whose talks are based on his incredible research.
In addition Dan has authored other books and reports: Working With Your Vet, Twelve Dog Behaviour Problems Solved, Canine Emergency Techniques and Vaccinations.
Dan’s work is published nationally and he regularly contributes articles globally.

Hello Dan,
I’m the one whom sometimes exchanging info at
the Twitter TL. I’m a Japanese grown up in England, went to school in the States ( an dropped out to be the musician ) and now after
went through adventures, I’m back in Japan and
launched the dog food importing and distribution company carrying the chilled NZ meat food products.
The beef here contain too much fat. This is due to the Japanese cuisine using beef and pork are using the thinly sliced meat. Those are grain fed
and expensive a regular home to have those to be fed to their dogs.
My dog had the digestion problem with the top
brand dry food and took time to find that out. We have no kids and so she was as same as our
daughter. Did everything we could and found out that the problem is the food. Then we switched
to the raw and homemade stuff which don’t get cooked with high heat.
Then I have found a dog food which contains more than 80% of safe NZ meat with lesser fat.
NZ has their own world leading strict quarantine
system and also the cattle and sheeps have to be
glass fed period. No cattle nor poultry diseases
have occurred in the NZ for the past 2 centuries.
I went their and tried by myself. With a little salt and pepper, those are consumable by us as well.
Anyway, they have the longer than 50 years of history and brilliant records of making the hard
working sheep dogs’ health level well and the
recovering period could have been the shortest
because of the well balanced nutrition as well as
the most gentle for their digestion system.
Because of the high contents of the natural but low heat cooked meat for more than 80%, dogs and cats don’t consume their body energy as much as the other big corporate made dry and canned foods. Therefore, they recover from any
wounds and or disease much faster.
Right now, I am having the busyy days to have this little company which has just launched to get on the orbit. Or say the rowing wooden boat to put a motor on the back. But at the same time, we
are working on with the vets who are working on
the best possible way for combining the western
and eastern medication for the animals and we
are supporting them.
Also we will be launching the NPO like the ASPCA
but will be work with the SPCA Auckland of NZ
because they are closer, share the same kind of
mentality and we have the special bond with them.
ANyway, it is great to know you and this great website.
Regards,
Kenn Sakurai

Hey Dan
Hope you would be able to provide me with some information. Im getting a cocker spaniel pup soon (once I find a relyable breeder), and I will 100% be feeding her homemade food. Obvisly I want to make sure she gets a suitable balanced diet with all the nutrients she needs, however im not sure on the size of meals, what to feed her when she is pup ect ect. One thing i have heard is you must not give your cocker spaniel fish, is this true?
