Linda Case earned her B.S. in animal science at Cornell University and her M.S. in canine and feline nutrition at the University of Illinois, where she went on to lecture in companion-animal science for about fifteen years, including coursework at the College of Veterinary Medicine. She is the author of Dog Food Logic and the textbook Canine and Feline Nutrition, writes the evidence-based blog The Science Dog, and owns AutumnGold Consulting and Dog Training Center in Mahomet, Illinois. On PawProof she translates AAFCO nutritional-adequacy statements and WSAVA guidance into plain feeding decisions, with the numbers shown and the marketing set aside. She is a nutritionist and educator, not your dog's veterinarian, so every feeding-change suggestion here ends the same way: confirm it with the vet who knows your animal.

Linda's beat covers complete-and-balanced foods, the 10% treat rule, calorie math for weight control, and the food claims that sound clinical but mean nothing on a label. Her rule of thumb is simple: trust the nutritional-adequacy statement and the maker's expertise, not the front of the bag. See how the whole team works on the about page.
