Dr Conor Brady, BSC HONS, PhD Profile Photo

I’m Dr. Conor Brady, author of Feeding Dogs, the top-rated manual on canine nutrition (according to Book Authority / Amazon reviews).

I have had a lifetime with dogs. After a doctorate studying the effects of nutrition on the behaviour & gut morphology of mammals, I joined guide dogs in 2006 as a trainer, both in Ireland and Australia.

After a time as an award-winning pet food manufacturer, I've been back to research, writing and reporting on the pet industry from the inside out.

Dogs First was established to provide pet owners with a source of trusted information and it will always, always put those dogs first.
