Registered Animal Nutritionist, or RAnNutr, is a professional registration administered through the Nutrition Society of Australia for suitably qualified and experienced animal nutrition professionals.An animal nutritionist assesses diets, nutritional requirements and feeding strategies. This is different from the role of a veterinarian, who diagnoses disease, prescribes medications and provides medical and surgical treatment.For animals with medical conditions, nutrition and veterinary care commonly work alongside one another.

Yes. Sydney Animal Nutrition operates independently and does not provide paid product endorsements.Advice provided to individual clients is based on the animal's nutritional and practical requirements rather than a commercial relationship with a particular pet food or supplement company.The same principle applies to education and media work. Dr Greenhalgh may discuss commercial foods, products or broader industry issues where relevant, but participation should not be represented as endorsement of a particular brand or product.
