Mandy, Pet Parent of "Indigo"
"Indigo had a recheck with her internal specialist last week. The veterinarian and nurses who have been treating Indigo were shocked and thrilled with her improvement. She's gained back over TEN pounds already and isn't having ANY symptoms of the IBD! The veterinarian told me that he didn't have a lot of hope that Indigo was going to recover after her last hospitalization. I absolutely credit you for saving Indigo's life Dr. Bimonte. She was a VERY sick dog when I contacted you and your diet has restored her to health! Indigo was taking over ten medications daily! Since I started working with you Indigo is taking ONE medication!"
Erin, Pet Parent of "Peeve"
“Just book the consult! The information you gather after further testing is so illuminating, and it makes you so confident in choosing food for your pet. I have never felt confident in feeding much of anything to my dog because he is so sensitive and seemed to have a reaction every time we tried feeding him something different (and what we thought was "healthier"). Now we know for sure what he can and can't have, and it makes everything so much easier moving forward!”
Charlene, Pet Parent of "Pooch"
“Dr. Bimonte is insightful and committed to helping dog parents. I always knew that nutrition was very powerful, but now I know that it can actually influence kidney disease. If someone was thinking of scheduling a consult, I would tell them it will save you money down the road. Just do it.”
A QUESTION WE HEAR A LOT
Are custom recipes included in a consultation?
Not automatically, and that's by design. Your consult gives you a full plan first. If you're ready to cook, personalized recipes are available as a next step, starting at $207 for a set of 2 recipes formulated just for your pet.

Our pet parents are saying...
“Even within our first consultation I felt so heard and felt that Dr. Bimonte was deeply invested in Bruno’s health and well-being. Our time together made me want to continue my own education around ways to better Bruno’s life. I truly trust Dr. Bimonte and am excited to continue to learn from her!”
- Gabby, Pet Parent of "Bruno"
“I didn't have any hesitations. As soon as I watched a few podcasts, I was certain booking a consult was the best idea. Definitely do it. Gaining the knowledge and insight is so worth it and eye opening. Even if you don't want to cook for your dog, Dr. Bimonte can help to navigate that road to balanced nutrition.”
- Tanya, Pet Parent of "Lucie"
“It is a huge blessing to feel a minute of relief for an almost 2 year battle trying to find someone who is willing to help us make the switch to as natural a life as possible for Ripley. Vet visits, bills, illnesses etc. have been exhausting for us and mostly we want to give Ripley the very best quality of life we can for as long as possible. Dr. Bimonte did a nice job of reviewing Ripley's history. I also appreciated the wealth of knowledge she shared and her willingness to formulate a path forward specific to Ripley's needs and deficiencies.”
- Hillary, Pet Parent of "Ripley"

- Erin, Pet Parent of "Peeve"
“I appreciated the many options available. It’s not just one clear path for your dog to be healthy; it’s unique to our situation and dog, which is greatly appreciated. This has given me the confirmation that I needed to make certain changes that will impact his health in the best way. I’m excited to make the changes we discussed and looking forward to knowing Howie is getting the nutrients he needs.”
- Lindsay, Pet Parent of "Howie"
“Each pet deserves a better life, and I am thankful that I have [Dr. Bimonte], and together we made the right decision to test Baloo as well. We found out that food intolerance has a big impact on my dog's health and we can fix it to make his health better.”
- Pet Parent of "Baloo"
“I would say it is worth the investment now so you can have more quality time with your pet. Having the knowledge and tools to provide your pet an opportunity to live a long and healthy life is so worth it. Thank you for listening and being so curious about Ralphie. It was so nice to have one on one time with a medical professional without feeling rushed.”
- Susan, Pet Parent of "Ralphie"
“I had a consultation with Dr. Bimonte before for our other dog, and it was really working well. Since it’s very hard to find a canine nutritionist in our country, this is one of our preferred options.”
- Anonymous Pet Parent
"This was literally my dream conversation with a Vet. While I love our local vet, I don't think anyone else would spend so much time diving into the nitty gritty details of diet and supplements with me and I was extremely appreciative of Dr. Bimonte. I felt so comfortable during our conversation and really felt heard. Dr. Bimonte gave us clear actionable advice and followed up with a recording of our session, clear notes, and links to all products mentioned."
- Viktoria, Pet Parent of "Charlie"

"Dr. Bimonte helped us create a personalized nutrition and care plan for our lab, who's been our loyal duck hunting companion for over a decade. We had started to notice signs of aging and wanted to make sure we were doing everything possible to keep him healthy and comfortable. She is incredible at what she does and goes above and beyond to ensure your pup lives their best life."
- Hannah, Pet Parent of "Deuce"
“My bulldog Panda has allergy and immunity issues and used to get frequent UTIs. I didn’t want to switch her to prescription kibble, so I started cooking for her, but the recipes took all day. Dr. Jeannette created custom, balanced recipes that are easier to make and helped resolve Panda’s allergies. She hasn’t had a single UTI since. Dr. J truly listened, followed up with care, and now Panda is thriving, plus she licks her bowl clean every time!”
- Nicole, Pet Parent of "Panda"
“I was pleased by your kind sincerity, knowledge and the ease with which I understood the possible solutions shared. I have been confused by so much conflicting information but this consult solidified my intentions to lean on fresher food options to optimize my pup’s health naturally.”

“You are so detail oriented and take pride in what you do. Jake is happily eating his homemade diet, this is the most he’s been able to eat in years! This diet was the missing piece to his allergies.”
- Pet Parent of "Jake"
"Our dog Ellie is complex with many needs, and we were often brushed off and left to our own research—lonely, stressful, and full of uncertainty. Dr. Bimonte was the only vet who wrote back, and her kindness, patience, and preparation gave me peace of mind. She came to the consult with personalized suggestions, was open to additional information, and gave Ellie the time and attention she deserved.
The written plan, detailed follow-up responses, and tools to move at our own pace made the process less overwhelming. Our dog is showing new interest in food, and I feel hopeful about her health and future. Dr. Bimonte’s knowledge, experience, and genuine care have given us confidence and support we couldn’t find elsewhere.
Her responsiveness is truly appreciated—I cannot express my gratitude enough."
- Kelsey, Pet Parent of "Ellie"
"Just like my last consultation, all of your information was very helpful. I appreciate hearing a different perspective and learning about alternatives to boost my dog’s health. Since our last visit, I’ve been adding toppers like fruits and veggies, and now I’m exploring home-cooked meals. Ever since starting Animal Biome products and more fruits and veggies, he has had a lot less itching—and he hasn’t needed a Cytopoint shot in 7 months!"
- Pet Parent of “Koda”
“Since our consult, Meaty has been eating again and actually enjoying his food! We’ve added more food choices you recommended, and it’s completely changed how I think about his nutrition!! Speaking with someone who truly understands dog food can make a huge difference! Thank you for helping my boy eat again. I’m excited to keep fine-tuning his diet with you!"
- Brooke, Pet Parent of "Meaty"
“The consult was exactly what I expected, and it gave me confidence that the recipes and guidance you shared will truly benefit him! Our conversation reinforced that I’m on the right track and doing what’s best for his long, healthy life!”
- Trent, Pet Parent of "Diesel"
“I never thought I’d cook for my dog, but here we are! I used to think dogs had to eat commercial kibble to be balanced, and now I feel confident moving in a healthier direction. If someone was unsure about booking, I’d tell them to just do it. It’s nearly impossible to navigate all of this without a professional.
Super happy with everything—5 stars!”
- Amy, Pet Parent of "Jax"
“I really appreciated how structured and clear the consult was! It left me feeling hopeful and excited to move forward with a plan that actually gets to the root of my dog’s issues.”
- Carly, Pet Parent of "Kimba"
"I’d been following you on Instagram for a while, so when Gabby had a really itchy morning, I finally booked, and I’m so glad I did! You used our time so well, asked the right questions, and gave me clear, realistic options to help Gabby. For the first time, I feel like we have a solid plan instead of just guessing! Hearing you explain things in the same way my own naturopath does made me feel completely confident. I’m excited to start this plan and finally get Gabby on a healthier, more intentional path!”
- Marci, Pet Parent of "Gabby"
"Learning about the microbiota testing was especially interesting and gave us a new perspective on what our dog needs! Our dog is our number one priority, and this consult helped us understand how to better support her health, even down to rethinking the types of midday treats we were giving.”
- Pet Parent of "Chanel"
“I just want to do the best for my dog and I really valued Dr. Bimonte's openness to raw feeding and genuine desire to work together for Lobo’s health. My dogs are like my kids, and it means a lot to work with someone who truly cares about supporting their health!”
- Greg, Pet Parent of "Logo"
“I left feeling more confident and capable of making a real difference in his health. Even though we haven’t started treatment yet, I finally feel like we’re on the right path. You’re incredibly knowledgeable and truly committed to helping our pets live better, healthier lives. I trust that you’ll do everything you can to support Oliver.”
- Andreyl, Pet Parent of "Oliver"
“It was reassuring to learn that the recipes you shared can support his health and longevity. You’re kind, you listen, and you take every concern seriously. You were amazing.”
- Karen, Pet Parent of "Chiki"
"I was surprised to learn he may be eating too often and that low stomach acid could be part of the issue. I’m especially excited that there’s microbiome testing to help narrow things down instead of guessing. I finally feel hopeful that diet changes could truly help him thrive."
- Kate, Pet Parent of "Remington"
“Dr. Bimonte's expertise and engaging demeanor were both refreshing and reassuring. We would gladly recommend her.”
- Ben, Pet Parent of "Brandy"
“Working with Dr. Bimonte made me feel confident that I was truly providing the best nutrition for my dog, especially given his health issues and allergies. She was easy to communicate with, and the fresh food recipes she provided were simple to prepare and helped my dog thrive and become healthier. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone wanting a clearer, more holistic understanding of their dog’s overall health.”
- Pet Parent of "Baloo"
“Working with Dr. Bimonte was incredibly reassuring. There’s so much conflicting information out there, and it was refreshing to speak with a vet who’s open-minded, thoughtful, and truly considers the whole picture. She helped me understand that test results aren’t one-size-fits-all and that every dog’s needs are unique. After our consult, I feel confident and clear about the next steps we’re taking for Cooper. If you’re on the fence, I’d absolutely encourage you to trust her, she has a way of simplifying things while still being incredibly thorough.”
- Amy, Pet Parent of "Cooper"
“We didn’t just talk about food, we looked at everything. Since switching my dog to fresh foods, he’s walking better, has more energy, and honestly seems younger. He’s even jumping on me again, which he hasn’t done all year! This completely changed how I think about my dog’s health.”
- Brooke, Pet Parent of "Meaty"
“This consult reinforced just how important nutrition is in supporting my dog’s overall health and motivated me to finally prioritize it, even with a busy schedule. Dr. Bimonte’s comprehensive, holistic approach helped shift how I think about feeding and wellness, making everything feel more intentional and impactful.”
