Dogs First

Dogs First is a dog-focused health and nutrition service that helps owners feed and care for their dogs using science-backed, natural approaches — especially raw feeding. Founded by Dr. Conor Brady, the business provides a wide range of resources designed for anyone looking to improve their dog’s diet and wellbeing: free educational articles, lecture-style online courses on topics like allergies and longevity, a best-selling book on canine nutrition, and one-to-one and live online consultations for personalised diet advice. They also operate a health store supplying Irish-made supplements and natural products such as dried seaweeds used as nutritional aids. The tone is practical and educational: Dogs First aims to empower dog owners with clear, evidence-based information and step-by-step guidance for transitioning to and maintaining species-appropriate diets. Services are suitable for pet owners dealing with common dietary issues, puppies needing nutrition guidance, or anyone curious about raw feeding. The organisation supports owners with recipes, tips, and ongoing community engagement through social media and blog content, all focused on improving coat condition, dental health, behaviour, and overall vitality through better nutrition. Dogs First emphasises sustainability and uses locally made products where possible, combining education, personalised support, and carefully selected supplements to help owners make informed choices for their dogs’ long-term health.
