The Complete Guide to Holistic Pet Nutrition Tools.
By Jolandie Koen · Holistic Animal Practitioner, Pet Nutritionist & Animal Aromatherapy Specialist
Have you ever stood in a pet shop staring at bags of processed food, wondering if a better way exists? It does. Holistic pet nutrition stands as the oldest, most natural approach to caring for animals, and it centres on understanding exactly what each species needs to thrive.
At The Holistic Pet Namibia, I have spent years studying species-specific nutrition across dogs, cats, parrots, rabbits, and more. Furthermore, I have now built a suite of interactive digital tools that place that knowledge directly in your hands. These tools form the NutriCraft™ membership range, and this guide walks you through every single one.
“A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal.” — Proverbs 12:10
What Is Species-Specific Nutrition?
Every animal carries a unique biology. A dog functions as an omnivore. A cat operates as an obligate carnivore. A parrot lives as a granivore and frugivore. A rabbit thrives as an herbivore. As a result, each of these animals requires different levels of protein, fat, fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Feeding them the same way, therefore, leads to nutritional gaps, chronic illness, and shortened lifespans.
Species-specific nutrition means building every meal around the biological design of that exact animal — not around convenience, not around marketing, and not around what worked for someone else’s pet.
Why Generic Feeding Guides Fall Short
Most commercial pet food companies design their products around profit margins, not biology. Consequently, they use fillers, synthetic nutrients, and one-size-fits-all formulations that ignore the vast differences between species, breeds, ages, and health conditions. In contrast, species-specific nutrition addresses each animal as the Creator designed them — individually, intentionally, and with purpose.
That is precisely what every NutriCraft™ tool delivers.
The NutriCraft™ Membership Tools
Each NutriCraft™ membership gives you unlimited access to an interactive, browser-based nutrition tool designed around one species. There are no app downloads and no logins to remember. Simply subscribe, receive your access link and password by email, and start planning immediately.
1. Canine NutriCraft™ — N$149/month
The Canine NutriCraft™ tool offers a complete BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) meal planner built around the 80/10/10 ratio and NRC 2006 nutrient targets. Whether you own a puppy, an adult dog, or a senior, this tool adjusts to your dog’s exact weight and life stage.
In addition to meal planning, the tool includes 80+ whole foods featuring Namibian game meats, a 24-nutrient gap analyser, supplement recommendations, unlimited dog profiles, and printable recipe cards.
Moreover, this tool suits raw feeding beginners and experienced BARF feeders equally well. Anyone who wants to understand exactly what their dog eats and what they might be missing will benefit immediately.

2. Feline NutriCraft™ — N$149/month
Cats carry unique nutritional requirements that set them apart from every other domestic animal. As obligate carnivores, they cannot synthesise certain nutrients the way other animals can. Taurine, arachidonic acid, and vitamin A from animal sources are not optional for cats — they form survival requirements. Unfortunately, most commercial cat foods either provide them in inadequate amounts or in synthetic forms that cats absorb poorly.
The Feline NutriCraft™ tool tracks all 24 feline-specific nutrients. Furthermore, it includes a food safety checker covering 40+ foods and common toxins, supports all life stages from kitten through senior, and allows unlimited cat profiles.

3. Parrot NutriCraft™ — N$149/month
Parrots rank among the most nutritionally misunderstood pets in the world. An African Grey carries completely different dietary requirements to a Lorikeet. A Macaw needs different fat ratios to a Cockatiel. Despite these differences, most seed mixes on the market ignore them entirely.
Parrot NutriCraft™ addresses this gap directly. It covers 19 parrot species with individual diet profiles, analyses 70+ whole foods for nutritional content, recommends herb and whole-food supplements, and generates 5-day batch prep shopping lists.
In short, if you own a parrot and still use a seed mix as a staple diet, this tool will transform your approach entirely.

4. Rabbit NutriCraft™ — N$149/month
Many people think of rabbits as simple animals to feed — a handful of pellets, some greens, maybe a carrot. However, rabbits are highly sensitive herbivores with complex digestive systems, specific calcium-to-phosphorus ratio requirements, and an acute sensitivity to oxalate load. Getting it wrong, therefore, leads to GI stasis, bladder sludge, and chronic illness.
Rabbit NutriCraft™ tackles these challenges with a hay, pellet and greens ratio calculator, Ca:P ratio and oxalate load tracking, a food safety checker for 50+ foods and plants, and a weekly greens rotation planner.

5. Canine Health NutriCraft™ — N$199/month
When a dog receives a diagnosis of kidney disease, liver disease, or pancreatitis, the nutritional stakes change dramatically. These conditions demand therapeutic diets that are precisely calibrated — not generic low-protein diets from a bag, but personalised plans built around your dog’s specific weight, stage, and symptoms.
The Canine Health NutriCraft™ tool covers all three conditions. Specifically, it provides weight-based meal portion calculators, a 4-week therapeutic transition plan, and a supplement dosing guide with local availability notes for Namibia.
Importantly, this tool does not replace your veterinarian. Rather, it serves as a powerful complement to veterinary care — giving you the nutritional tools to support your dog’s healing at home.

6. Animal Aromatherapy Guide — N$250/month
Essential oils are powerful tools when you use them correctly. They can support pain relief, anxiety management, immune function, and parasite resistance across dogs, cats, parrots, and horses. However, when you use the wrong oils, wrong dilutions, or apply them to the wrong species, they can cause serious harm.
As Namibia’s only qualified Animal Aromatherapy Specialist, I have built a comprehensive doTERRA protocol library that addresses each species individually. Every protocol includes exact ingredients, drop counts, step-by-step directions, and clear species-specific safety cautions. Furthermore, I update the library regularly as new research emerges.

How Do the Tools Work?
Every NutriCraft™ tool runs directly in your browser, which means you can access it on any device — phone, tablet, or computer — through a password-protected page on this website. Consequently, there are no apps to download and no accounts to manage.
Once you subscribe, you receive a confirmation email with your tool’s direct link and a unique access password. Enter the password once and your browser remembers it on that device. From there, you can build unlimited pet profiles, save meal plans, and return anytime.
All subscriptions charge monthly in Namibian Dollars via Adumo Online, Namibia’s trusted payment gateway. You can cancel at any time — there are no lock-in periods or cancellation fees.
Who Are These Tools For?
NutriCraft™ tools serve pet owners who want to take an active, informed role in their animal’s nutrition. You do not need to be a nutritionist or a raw feeding expert to use them. In fact, the tools are designed to be intuitive and educational — they teach you as you use them.
They are especially useful for raw feeders who want to ensure nutritional completeness, owners of animals with health conditions that require dietary management, holistic pet owners moving away from processed commercial food, and anyone who has ever wondered whether their pet actually gets what they need.
