Gwen's Choice

About Us

 Hi, I’m Gwen a Registered Veterinary Nurse and the owner and founder of Gwen’s Choice Canine Health & Nutrition. I've worked in Veterinary practice for over 25yrs with much of that time spent as a head nurse and clinical tutor training and mentoring student veterinary nurses. 

Gwen’s Choice was founded in 2021 when I established my own brand of dog food and have now expanded the business to become a training provider with iPET Network, delivering registered and accredited canine first aid courses to both dog owners and canine professionals alike.

My own dogs are big part of my life and a vital part of the business. All the Gwen's Choice recipes and treats have been selected because they're what I chose to feed my own dogs and have passed their paw of approval! 

The dogs also feature in the Canine First Aid courses - what better way to prepare yourself for those emergency situations than practicing in small groups on a real dog.

I am more than happy to answer any enquiries by phone or email
