It doesn't matter whether pet owners visit the pet store, the veterinarian, visit Facebook or talk to their friends at the dog park ...
... nine times out of ten, they'll be getting the same old nutrition advice that's nothing but a bunch of pet food marketing catch-phrases and buzz words.
But you know that most of the popular commercial pet foods can be loaded with unhealthy ingredients and even toxic byproducts of processing.
You want to help pet owners understand how important it is to choose the right diet, but you're nothing but noise in a world full of fancy pet food commercials and fancy packaging.
If you're here, you already know that pet owners rely on experts to help them make critical decisions.
But, if you're like most businesses, you're not helping them as much as you could be.
To keep your customers happy and coming back, again and again, you need to:
In other words, you need to be that go-to source of trust and advanced information that will catapult you head and shoulders above your competition.
That's why the big box stores invest large amounts of money into staff training and processes.
But there's just one problem ... you don't have the big budget those chain stores do, and you don't have the time to prepare all that training. But you still need to compete with them, even though they may have lower prices.
That's where DNM University comes in.
Certified Pet Food Nutrition Specialists can help you build your dream team.
You can use the courses to train and certify your staff or you can use your certification to help you land a job that recognizes your investment in a certification that's both respected and ready to apply.
As a certified Pet Food Nutrition Specialist, you'll be a key component in customer education and retention and, best of all, you'll have the skills you need to help change the quality of nutrition - and the quality of life - for cats and dogs everywhere.
More specifically, in this master class, you'll learn:
In short, Certified Pet Nutrition Specialists are able to pick up any can or bag of pet food and perform advanced analysis to determine the quality of the nutrients, which nutrients are missing, and which supplements will fill the nutritional holes processing produces.
Here's what some Pet Food Nutrition students are saying about this course ...
DNM University Certification Courses are unique. Our course instructors aren't just vets or bloggers - they're in the trenches and they're sought-after pet food formulators and top industry experts. These are the people with PhDs who teach veterinarians about pet nutrition - but they're also advocates of whole, natural foods and holistic medicine.
Each Certification Course is between 7 and 10 hours of video training and contains downloadable handouts and exercises. Most classes can be completed in a weekend if you're working on them full-time, but 7 to 14 days is the recommended time to complete each course.
Once you complete the course, you'll be able to sit for the final exam (which is taken online). The exam isn't tricky, but you'll need a passing grade of 75% to get certified and you can take the test up to three times. If you don't receive a passing grade after the third attempt, you'll be required to go back through the course again. The exam should take from 30 to 60 minutes to complete and consists of 75 multiple choice questions.
Upon successful completion of the course and exam, you'll receive a personalized badge and certificate. Your badge works with Mozilla's Open Badges Project, so it can be displayed in places that matter, including your website, email signature or LinkedIn profile. Plus you'll receive a full color certificate that's suitable for framing so you can display your achievement.
