About NGPW
Hi! I'm Samantha Henson, founder of Next Generation Pet Wellness and licensed Clinical Pet Nutritionist.
I have spent the last 10 years dedicating my life to the health and wellness of animals and I can truly say that I love what I do. I have helped well over 1,000 cats and dogs live their happiest and healthiest lives through proper, biologically appropriate nutrition, supplementation, and exercise. I give pet owners the tools and education they need to help their furry family members.
I started Next Generation Pet Wellness as a way for people to get unbiased information about pet nutrition. It’s so difficult for pet owners to research online, or even in a store, and not feel overwhelmed by all the choices. I don’t sugar coat things, and because I’m not tied to any specific brand of food, I can be completely honest and remain impartial.
You may be wondering if you would ever need a pet nutritionist or know someone who might. I see dogs and cats (and other pets) from every walk of life and every budget.
A pet nutritionist can help:
-
Puppies and kittens whose owners want to start them on a great diet
-
Pets that have been on antibiotics (especially when young)
-
Pets that have been spayed or neutered before they finished growing
-
Pets that exhibit signs of allergies/sensitivities (i.e. itching, licking, excessive shedding, bald patches, tear staining)
-
Pets with stomach issues such as vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and nausea
-
Any senior pet
-
Pets with cancer
-
Pets with diabetes
-
Pets in renal failure
-
Pets with bladder issues (stones, crystals, UTIs, etc.)
-
Pets who need to lose weight
One of my favorite things about my job is helping pets lose weight. Who doesn’t love a good before-and-after photo? I love being able to add years onto a cat or dog’s lifespan, and I truly love seeing how happy they get when they move freely and without pain. It motivates me beyond measure. I also love a good challenge — from an 18-year-old picky eater to a dog with 50-plus different allergies, I love them all.
