I lost two of my dogs.

And nearly lost my third.

All because of a bag of food I trusted.
Marley, Dreamer, and Smitten were my world. They were healthy. Happy. Thriving.
But eleven days after opening that bag of kibble—Marley was gone.
Three weeks later, Dreamer collapsed. And Smitten… somehow, miraculously, pulled through.
That food—something I bought with love— Poisoned my family.

I had no idea what was really in the bowl. No idea what the labels were hiding.
No clue how broken the entire system had become.
But now I know.
And I will never stop speaking up.

THE FOUNDATIONAL FEEDING FRAMEWORK™

It's not just what you feed.

It's the order in which you feed it.

If you've ever tried switching your dog to a healthier food—and it didn't go the way you hoped—you're not alone. The truth is, going from kibble to real food cold turkey can backfire. Big time.

You might start with the best intentions—You buy the grass-fed raw, the pasture-raised meats, the organic veggies… You're ready to do this. But your dog's gut isn't.

Their body has been running on processed, carb-heavy, artificially preserved food—and now we're asking it to suddenly digest fresh muscle meat and liver?

That's like expecting someone who's lived on soda and fast food to wake up and run a marathon on kale and salmon. Their system just isn't ready.

That's why I created the Foundational Feeding Framework™.

It's a two-step process that works.

First: Prepare the Dog for the Diet

We don't just dump better food into a damaged system.

We help the gut heal.

We support the liver.

We gently transition the body from survival mode to healing mode.

This step is everything.

It's what makes the difference between success… and another setback.

Then: Prepare the Diet for the Dog

Once your dog's body is ready, we introduce food that actually fuels healing.

Not just "better" brands—but real, species-appropriate nutrition.

Rotational feeding. Whole food.

Personalized to what your dog truly needs.

And listen—this doesn't mean you need to turn into some liver-slinging, duck-neck-grinding, freezer-hoarding raw food extremist.

You don't need a biology degree or a chicken plucker. You just need a plan.

A path. A place to start that actually makes sense.

That's what KIBBLELESS gives you.

Start the KIBBLELESS Challenge

🧡 A reset that starts with your dog—not just their dinner.

BEHIND THE BOWL — THE TRUTH SESSION

Before I could fix anything…

I had to understand what went wrong.

Not just for me. But for Marley. For Dreamer. For Smitten.

And for every Paw Parent who's ever felt that awful sense of

"I thought I was doing the right thing."

That's what the Behind the Bowl Truth Session is all about.

Not fear. Not shame. Not blame. Just truth.

Shared with love.

So you don't have to go through what I did.

Behind the Bowl: What Vets Can't Say. What Your Dog Can't Tell You.

A free online truth session for Paw Parents who deserve to know.

📘 THE KIBBLE CRISIS EBOOK

They Deserve the Truth. You Deserve the Facts.

I wrote The Kibble Crisis: What's the Scoop? for Paw Parents like me—who loved deeply, trusted fully, and never imagined that the food we were feeding could be the thing hurting them most.

This isn't a scare piece or a guilt trip.

It's a wake-up call wrapped in love and science.

In these pages, we walk through:

•What your dog's body is actually designed to eat

•The hidden ingredients, chemicals, and contaminants in kibble

• Why even the "premium" brands can be dangerously misleading

•And how to break free from the myths the pet food industry has sold us for decades

If you've ever looked at that bowl and thought,

"Something's not right here…"

You're not alone.

This eBook is your first step toward clarity, courage, and change.

🧡 CHOOSE YOUR PATH

You don't need to have it all figured out.

You just need to start.

If you've made it this far, I know something about you already:

You love your dog.

You've trusted the food.

And you've felt that tug in your gut that says,

"Something's not right."

That's where I was, too.

So I created three simple ways to help you begin—wherever you are.

This isn't about becoming a raw feeding expert.

It's about becoming the one your dog can count on.

Let me show you how.

We start by gently supporting the gut, detoxing from kibble, and rebuilding what's been worn down—so your dog is ready for real food.

THE MOVEMENT + THE MISSION

This is the conversation I wish someone had with me before I lost Marley and Dreamer.

It's where everything changed.

Inside, I'll show you what's really going on behind the food bowl—what vets can't say, what the labels won't tell you,

and why even the best intentions can lead to heartbreaking outcomes.

But more importantly—I'll show you what to do next.

🔁 A call to come back to what's real—

❌ To stop feeding what harms,

❤️ And start feeding what heals.

This is a movement for Paw Parents who are done being misled,

done feeling powerless, and done watching our dogs suffer because the system won't change.

We're not waiting on vets to speak up.

We're not hoping food companies suddenly get honest.

We're doing this ourselves.

For them.

And you don't have to do it alone.

When you say yes to KIBBLELESS, you're not just changing your dog's bowl— You're joining a pack of Paw Parents who love like you do, fight like you do, and believe—deep in their hearts—that dogs deserve better.

We're here.

We're with you.

And we're so glad you found us.

TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying

"If the kindest souls were rewarded with the longest lives, dogs would outlive us all."

“No more allergy shots needed!"

"So grateful to Nikki and Kibbleless for countless hours of consultation and working through ways to make our fur baby healthy. She always cares and seeks to get to the bottom of issues. She wants our dog to have a long life"

--Tanya & Yori H.

Paw Parent to Jasper

"No more meds. No more misery. Just a thriving, happy dog"

“We spent years stuck in a heartbreaking cycle—constant vet visits, medications, and allergy flare-ups that left my dog in misery and me feeling helpless. Nothing ever worked… until I found Nicole.

With her guidance, we switched to a raw diet, added targeted herbs and supplements, and within weeks, my dog Keeva’s allergies and lifelong IBS were under control.

For the first time in years, we made it through Spring and Fall without a single vet visit. Keeva is now vibrant, pain-free, and thriving—and I finally feel empowered instead of afraid. Nicole changed everything for us."

--Megan B.

Paw Parent to Keeva

"She hears what concerns you have about your pet"

"I noticed we were in the vet’s office about every month for one thing or another . . . . they told me he has the thickest file in the office and he’s only 7 years old..”
