Chewing with River

Chewing with River is a client-focused canine training and nutrition consultancy supporting dogs and their humans to live happier and healthier lives.

I’m Carolina de Almeida Kennedy, a professional dog trainer and canine nutrition specialist. My work sits at the intersection of behaviour, health, and welfare, with a particular focus on how diet, digestion, and lifestyle factors influence behaviour. I work in-person across Lancashire and remotely with clients worldwide, and collaborate closely with veterinarians and vet paraprofessionals, trainers, and other pet specialists to ensure dogs receive truly holistic support.

Through Chewing with River, I’ve built a strong educational community of dog parents and professionals, helping guardians make informed, practical changes that improve their dogs’ wellbeing, reduce chronic health and behavioural issues. My approach is evidence-informed, compassionate, and grounded in real-life application.
