Therapeutic nutrition
Home-prepared food tailored precisely to your dog's biological needs.
Doggevity · Personal nutrition guidance with Avital
You can see your dog
isn’t quite themselves.
You have already done tests, changed foods and tried treatments. There may be a diagnosis, or there may still be no clear answer, but the itching continues, the paws are constantly licked, allergic reactions appear, grass eating persists, diarrhea or unstable stools recur, or your dog simply seems uncomfortable. They have been more tired, restless, less vital, or just not themselves for some time.
Even if conventional veterinary medicine has not given you a complete answer, I am here to help you finally understand what is happening in your dog’s body and what they need in order to begin rebuilding.

The principles behind our work
Home-prepared food tailored precisely to your dog's biological needs.
Looking at the body as one complete system, not only at the symptom.
Step by step, with close attention to the body's responses.
When veterinary medicine has not found the answer, it does not mean there is nothing left to understand.
Who this support is for
Vomiting, diarrhea, reflux, gas, grass eating, unstable stools, mucus or blood in the stool, loss of appetite and food sensitivities.
Persistent itching, paw licking, excessive shedding, strong body odor, discharge, redness, sores and recurring inflammation.
Fatigue, discomfort, restlessness, disrupted sleep, pain, low energy or the sense that your dog simply has not returned to themselves.
For people who understand that dogs truly need real, nourishing food rather than processed food, and want guidance on how to do it properly.
What the support looks like
The process lasts three months so you do not have to experiment alone, wonder whether a response matters, or change direction every few days.
We begin with an in-depth questionnaire and a mapping session. I connect the symptoms, nutrition, digestion, test results, treatments and changes that preceded the current condition.
We remove foods and ingredients that may be adding strain, build a diet for the dog's current biological state, and decide what to change first without overwhelming the body.
You are not left alone with a meal plan. We follow stools, appetite, sleep, skin and energy day by day, and adapt the process to your dog's progress.

Nutrition tailored to the dog in front of me
Simple, whole and precise food, with adjustments guided by your dog’s response throughout the process.
My promise throughout the process
We change the conditions within the body and build genuine health and resilience. When the body begins working properly again, it shows in how your dog feels and moves through life. At the same time, your family learns to understand your dog and read their signals.
Changing the conditions that created the imbalance in the first place, rather than merely managing its outward expression.
Appetite, energy, curiosity and playfulness return, and your dog is free to enjoy life again.
Building a more stable, resilient body and a calmer dog who is no longer occupied with coping with internal imbalance.
Families who have walked this path with me

“Thanks to Avital, I learned to truly listen to my dog, understand her signals and know how to help her.”
I came to Avital after a difficult and frightening veterinary diagnosis: my dog was said to have chronic kidney failure. Bamba refused the prescription food, vomited, and I felt terrified and helpless.
From our first phone call, I knew I had someone I could trust. No prescription food she refused to eat and no injections. Instead, home-prepared food tailored personally to Bamba and her specific needs.
Today Bamba is completely healthy, and all of those diagnoses are no longer relevant.
Thanks to Avital, I learned to truly listen to my dog, understand her signals and know how to help her. Thank you for never making me feel alone.

“Today Uli is a different dog. His digestion is calm. His allergies are under control, without any need for pills or injections. He is happy, sleeps well and is much calmer.”
Ever since Uli came to me at three months old, a tiny bundle of fur and sweetness, he has always been a little on the dramatic side (no idea where he gets that from...). Digestive issues, allergies, separation anxiety and some reactivity. I tried everything. And I mean everything: medication, treatments, supplements, diets and more.
Almost a year ago, we came to Avital. She reviewed his complete medical history and blood tests, gradually built a diet for him and supported us throughout the process, often on a genuinely daily basis.
Today Uli is a different dog. His digestion is calm. His allergies are under control, without any need for pills or injections. He is happy, sleeps well and is much calmer, and we are no longer frequent visitors to the veterinary clinic.
Starting this process with Avital was one of the best decisions I have made, after deciding to adopt this little fox-rabbit, of course ❤️

“Within a few weeks, what felt like a miracle happened: the wheezing almost completely disappeared.”
When the veterinarian told us that Miko had a collapsed trachea and an enlarged heart, and that the wheezing would stay with him for life, my heart simply broke. He could barely breathe, the wheezing never stopped, and I felt helpless in the face of his suffering.
I did not understand what food had to do with any of it until I met Avital. From the very beginning, she calmed me and explained how reducing the inflammatory load in his bowl and tailoring precise, cooked nutrition could ease the burden on his lungs and heart.
Within a few weeks, what felt like a miracle happened: the wheezing almost completely disappeared. Miko went back to breathing easily, jumping, playing and running like a puppy, as if we had been given a completely new dog.
Avital, thank you for being there for us every step of the way, for never giving up and for giving us back our healthy, happy boy.

“Cookie lost the excess weight, the pressure on her trachea decreased significantly, and her breathing became completely quiet.”
My Cookie is already 12. She had a collapsed trachea and excess weight that was making even short walks difficult. The veterinarian prescribed weight-loss food, but she simply refused to eat it.
I was frustrated, I could see her losing her vitality, and I did not know what to do. Then I came to Avital. With extraordinary sensitivity, she created a cooked, delicious menu tailored precisely to Cookie’s needs. Cookie rushed to the bowl from the very first day.
A few months later, Cookie has lost the excess weight, the pressure on her trachea has decreased significantly, and her breathing is completely quiet. She is lively, light and full of joy again, just as she was at two years old.
Avital, you are an angel. There is simply no one like you.

“Within a short time, the diarrhea stopped completely, and Tommy became happier than ever.”
I adopted Tommy from a shelter when he was five months old. He was thin and weak, with relentless diarrhea that was heartbreaking. We tried one brand after another, antibiotics and tests, but nothing helped. His stomach did not settle.
Avital was our lifeline. She explained that his gut was overwhelmed and needed to be rebuilt from the root. She supported us day by day, followed every bowel movement and every change, and guided us with endless patience.
Within a short time, the diarrhea stopped completely. Tommy began absorbing his food, gained weight, and his coat filled out.
Today he is an energetic, strong and healthy young dog who never stops running, happier than ever. I do not know what I would have done without you.

It began with Tani
Tani was suspected of having epilepsy, Cushing’s disease and chronic kidney failure. She experienced neurological seizures, blood in her stool and vomiting. Five months without sleep and with a profound sense of helplessness, alongside numerous courses of antibiotics. Had I accepted each diagnosis without truly understanding, she could have entered a treatment path that did not suit her and significantly harmed her quality of life.
I refused to choose a treatment merely to make her fit a diagnosis. I returned to her body: what she ate, how she digested it, when each response appeared and what had changed before it all began. From there, the picture started to become clear.
I’m Avital Rien, a graduate of the CIVT Natural and Integrative Animal Nutrition program. Today I support families who want to stop guessing, understand their dog and build health and resilience they can continue nurturing long after our work together ends.



Frequently asked questions
For families who have seen for some time that their dog is not themselves, even when tests provide no clear answer, and even after trying foods, medications or treatments that did not create a meaningful change.
Yes. I create a nutritional plan based on your dog's condition, but I do not leave you alone with it. We observe how the body responds and make changes when needed.
We do not continue simply because it is the conventional recommendation. I evaluate every step against your dog's history and real-life response, and change course when the body shows us that something else is needed.
This is usually the period that allows the body to renew itself and build enough resilience to keep progressing independently, while giving us time to balance and refine the diet around what your dog truly needs. You are not given a meal plan and left on your own; you receive close support throughout the process.
