My name is Dominique Warfield, and I am the DW behind DW Pet Health Coaching. I am a Certified Holistic Pet Health Coach and Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist, but I did not always start out in this field. I was originally in advertising where I spent the first six years post college working for some of the best agencies around the United States. It wasn’t until 2020 when I was working on a project for a fresh pet food company called Just Food For Dogs when I really started to take the health of pets seriously. Through conversations with Just Food For Dogs Founder, Shawn Buckley I learned we were feeding pets all wrong.

This sparked my passion for pet nutrition, but what sparked my passion for holistic pet health were the pets in my life. Past and present. My childhood dog was a Toy Poodle named Nino. He lived to be 14 years old which I did not feel like was enough time. Nino ate the standard American dog diet—conventional treats, and conventional kibble. On occasion my family and I would feed him fresh food like fruits, but my parents didn’t believe in giving animals “people food”.

Ultimately what really drove me into this line of work were the dogs around me not living as long as Nino did. My girlfriend Julie lost her dog when he was 11, and her cousin lost her dog when he was 9. I began to wonder how did I get 14 years out of my dog when they got such little time with theirs? I will likely never know the answer to that, but 9 years is too short, 11 years is too short, and even 14 years is too short. As a Certified Holistic Pet Health Coach and Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist it is my mission is to unleash the power of nature's remedies (food) and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine practices to elevate pets vitality. The path to their optimal health starts here.

Through the wisdom of holistic pet care let's nurture our pets health together. Your furry friend deserves the best! I hope I can help our pets live to be into their late teens and/or even early twenties.
