Native Pet Welcomes Dr. Dan: A Top Certified Veterinary Nutritionist Enhancing Pet Wellness

As pet parents, we would do anything to help our dogs stay healthy and live long, happy lives. While a healthy, nutritious diet as well as regular vet visits are important, adding pet supplements to our dogs’ diet has become an integral part of pet nutrition. In fact, pet supplements have become so popular that it’s hard for pet parents to decipher which are that best.

And that is where Native Pet comes in. Native Pet has quickly gained recognition as one of the most trusted pet supplement brands on the market. With a mission rooted in clean, effective, and science-backed nutrition, they’ve become a go-to for pet parents looking to enhance their dog’s health naturally.

As more dog owners prioritize their pets’ diets, supplements are no longer seen as optional, but an essential, helpful addition. From digestive support to joint care, supplements offer targeted solutions to improve a dogs' quality of life. And now, Native Pet has taken its dedication to pet health to the next level by welcoming a top expert in the field: Dr. Dan Su, a Board-Certified Veterinary Nutritionist.

With Dr. Dan’s expertise, Native Pet is solidifying its position as not just a pet supplement company, but a true authority in pet wellness and nutrition.

A Trusted Name in Pet Supplements

Native Pet has already made history as the first-ever pet supplement brand to be carried at Whole Foods Market. This reflects their commitment to clean ingredients and transparency.

Native Pet has built their reputation by sourcing only the highest quality, whole-food-based ingredients, backed by veterinary insight and real science. Each product is designed to not only taste great (dogs love their products!), but to really work by providing real, measurable benefits in your pet’s daily health.

Unlike some brands that follow trends, Native Pet works closely with veterinary experts to guarantee every ingredient serves a purpose. Now, their investment in nutrition science has deepened further.

Why Dr. Dan’s Role Is a Game-Changer 

Dr. Dan Su isn’t just any veterinarian, but he’s one of the 100 Board-Certified Veterinary Nutritionists in the United States. That certification means years of advanced education in animal physiology, metabolism, and clinical nutrition, along with a rigorous examination and training process.

His role at Native Pet involves overseeing product formulation, testing, and ingredient sourcing, ensuring every product meets the highest safety and efficacy standards. But he also plays a major role in consumer education by helping pet parents understand what their dogs truly need when it comes to nutrition.

Supplements Aren’t Just Add-Ons – Why Their Important

In the past, supplements were often seen as optional "extras" for dogs. But that’s changed. Today, many supplements are used to address very specific concerns, such as itchy skin, digestive upset, hip, anxiety, joint pain, or a dog’s low immunity.

To truly be effective, pet supplements need to be formulated by experts who understand a dog’s unique biological needs. That’s where Dr. Dan’s expertise makes a difference.

Dogs Have Different Nutritional Needs Than Humans

Dogs metabolize nutrients differently than we do. What works for us humans might not work or could even be harmful for our pets. For example, too much calcium can cause serious developmental issues in large breed puppies. And too little vitamin E may weaken the immune system and muscle function.

Getting these levels just right isn’t guesswork; it’s science. Dr. Dan’s presence certifies that every Native Pet product has a balanced nutrient profile that aligns with AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) and NASC (National Animal Supplement Council) guidelines.

What Makes a Certified Veterinary Nutritionist Different?

Formulating effective supplements goes far beyond trendy ingredients or appealing packaging. 

It requires a deep understanding of:

Ingredient Efficacy – Are the ingredients backed by peer-reviewed, canine-specific research?

Proper Dosage – How much of an ingredient is truly effective? More isn't always better, and improper levels can lead to adverse effects.

Bioavailability – Are the nutrients actually absorbable by a dog’s body? Dr. Dan safeguards that every ingredient in Native Pet’s formulas is provided in a format the dog’s system can use.

By working directly with a board-certified expert, Native Pet makes sure that each formula isn’t just safe, but it’s optimized for your dog’s wellbeing.

About Dr. Dan: Science-Driven, Pet-Focused

Dr. Dan brings more than ten years of experience in both canine and feline nutrition to the Native Pet team. His work is rooted in a passion for improving pet health through science, and his leadership confirms that every supplement Native Pet releases meets the gold standard of formulation.

With Dr. Dan on board, Native Pet becomes the only pet supplement brand with a full-time, in-house veterinary nutritionist. That’s not just a title as it is a serious commitment to your dog’s health.

So, Why Should Pet Parents Care About Dr. Dan?

Dr. Dan’s presence at Native Pet means more than just a boost in credibility. It’s a sign that Native Pet is focused on real results, not just good marketing.

His role guarantees:

Precision in formulation – Every product contains the right ingredients with the right amount.

Trustworthy sourcing – Each ingredient is chosen for effectiveness and safety.

Science-backed claims – You can feel confident that Native Pet’s benefits aren’t just anecdotal as they’re supported by research.

When pet supplement brands don't work with certified nutrition experts, they risk offering products that might be ineffective or even worse, unsafe. Dr. Dan’s expertise eliminates that risk and raises the bar for what pet parents should expect from a supplement.

Final Thoughts: What Does Dr. Dan’s Addition Mean for You and Your Dog?
