Canine Nutrition Team: Dr. Chavez, DVM
Dr. Chavez, DVM leads our Canine Nutrition Team as the demand for our custom formulations for dogs with special needs grows.
As the leader of our team, he is our Staff Veterinarian and Professor of Canine Clinical Nutrition. He brings not only a deep technical expertise but a true love for dogs that all of us here share at JFFD. A graduate of the Royal Veterinary College in London, UK, Dr. Chavez, holds a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine (BVetMed), a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM), and is a Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (MRCVS). In addition to working with us at JFFD, Dr. Chavez leads undergraduate level courses within the College of Agriculture’s Animal Science and Animal Health Science curricula at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Prior to accepting his tenure-track appointment teaching university students, Dr. Chavez, served as the Certified Chief of Staff and Lead Veterinarian at Banfield Pet Hospital in Huntington Beach, California.
Dr. Chavez notes, “Over half of the dogs in this country experience some form of health issues and many of these can be addressed through diet. Canine nutrition is of the utmost importance in both keeping your dog healthy and when their health is challenged. Our goal is to raise awareness of the importance of canine nutrition and bring a simple, fast and affordable solution to as many pet parents and their dogs as possible.”
If you or your vet believes your dog may benefit from a custom formulation please contact our Canine Nutrition Team and we’ll be happy to help.
