Dr Richard S. Patton has been an animal nutritionist for over three decades. He has experience working in 22 foreign countries with numerous different species.

“The fate of animals the world over, whether wild or captive, is in our hands,” says Patton.
“We need to clearly understand our impact on their lives. Wherever possible, we must apply the latest knowledge in the care of our companion animals. This means not only providing the best diet for them, but also clearly understanding the effect on their lives of living with us. With the best of intentions, we sometimes unknowingly compromise their innate behavior, and mistakenly blame nutrition for the problems that result.”
