Hi Courtney,

Glad to know that you didn’t just omit the canola : ) I do think it is important to have the right “fit” and if you don’t feel that UT is meeting your needs I can see why you are looking for other opinions. I’ve never worked with a nutritionist so I can’t give you any personal experience but based on her readings you may want to consider Dr Wynn.

Hi C4D,

From the profile you posted I don’t see that Dr Smart is boarded in anything so not sure why Shawna described her as a board certified vet. As she followed that with “Dr. Susan Wynn is another board certified vet nutritionist.” the use of the word “another” led me to believe that Shawna was saying Dr Smart is boarded in nutrition.

I know it seems odd but I’ve only seen boarded accreditation through either the American or European boards. When I looked at faculty in a Canadian vet school they were boarded through the American, or European system or both.

Additionally this statement “she was the first to teach small animal nutrition in North America” doesn’t make sense to me. The vet I use graduated in 1985 and had a dedicated small animal nutrition course in her 4th year vet school and the profile indicates Dr. Smart didn’t start teaching nutrition until 1994.
