Katie Newman became a canine diet expert to save her Labrador, Hustler, from obesity. Unable to exercise because of severe hereditary joint issues, his weight had ballooned to 96 pounds.
An accomplished analyst and researcher, Katie made a life changing decision – to use her skills to create a nutritionally balanced diet that would satisfy her dog’s appetite and shed pounds. After extensive research, she formulated a unique and effective diet that provides not only healthy meals but also those essential treats dogs love.
In her book, The Amazing Treat Diet For Dogs: How I Saved My Dog From Obesity, Katie mixes heartfelt narrative with clear, straightforward instructions, to educate and inspire others to do the same for their dogs. The book includes principles for a healthy diet, guidelines for meal and treat servings and how to shape owner and pet habits into a process that is healthy, economical and easy. Extensive photography and detailed appendixes enhance and simplify comprehensive nutritional information.
Her passionate voice and dedication to conquering canine obesity has received industry attention. Immediately following her book release, Katie was a guest speaker at Pet Expo USA’s Holiday Pet Expos, and is scheduled to speak at upcoming 2012 events, including the Vegas Pet Expo.
She has been a guest on Atomic Dog Radio (LA Talk Radio) and is currently planning future media interviews. Her book was recently featured in PET AGE magazine.
Katie earned bachelor’s degrees in English literature and education from Long Island University, graduating summa cum laude. She has nearly a decade of experience working in customer relations and system functions analysis at Cablevision. She also worked as a research assistant with The Conference Board, a non-advocacy, not-for-profit global business research and membership organization. She lives with her husband and her dog Hustler in Los Angeles, California.
