Having worked as a scientific communications specialist with Royal Canin since 2017 and with over 10 years in practice since his graduation from the Ontario Veterinary College, he has counselled hundreds of proud pet owners, students, and professional colleagues about the best ways to approach the age old question "what do I feed my pet?"
