Equine Nutrition Consulting Services for
Equine Veterinary Practices
Give Your Patients the Personalized & Practical Equine Nutrition Support They Deserve
As an equine veterinarian, you aim to stay informed of the latest advances in clinical care because you want to provide the best care for your patients.
You understand the power of proper nutrition, but having these conversations with clients can sometimes be a challenge. Sometimes you are faced with a challenging medical case where you know supportive nutrition is indicated, but you don’t have the time or resources to provide that support yourself.
From easy keepers to performance horses to hard keepers and picky seniors, there’s no shortage of nutrition needs in your veterinary practice.
You want to help your clients implement personalized, practical, and proven solutions for their specific nutrition challenges.
The only problem? You’re not an equine nutritionist.
So, how do you get unbiased, science-backed information to your clients?
That’s where a qualified, independent PhD Equine Nutritionist comes in.
Hi, I’m Dr. Kelly Vineyard
I have been working with equine veterinarians and providing clinical nutrition recommendations for special cases for over 16 years.
As an independent equine nutritionist, my goal is to provide a way for you to elevate your patient care by offering individualized and expert nutrition consultation services to your clients, without adding to your workload.

EquiVine PhD Nutrition
"Dr. Vineyard has been an amazing asset for my equine practice for years! She has helped me to manage the nutritional needs of:
Equine Geriatric cases
Equine Metabolic cases
High Performance horses with special dietary needs
Nutritional imbalance can be an underlying issue in many disease states and due to its complexity, is often a poorly understood field of equine medicine by horse owners and vets alike.
I am terribly excited to see that Dr. Vineyard is starting her consulting practice and will be even more available to me, my clients and patients!”

How Equine Nutrition Consultation Works
PARTNERSHIP
With a shared passion and dedication, driven by a love of science and the horse, consider me a like-minded member of your team.
Your clients will get trusted expert advice, and you can rest-assured you’ll continue to be the captain of your patients’ care team
INDIVIDUALIZED CARE
Every horse is different, and designing the right diet starts with understanding their individual requirements.
You won’t find cookie-cutter feed plans around here.
I’ll dive into the needs of every patient, then use science and experience to create an effective plan.
UNBIASED & SCIENCE-BASED
Every feeding plan is crafted using science-based nutrition principles—prioritizing forage, balancing essential nutrients, meeting energy requirements, and fine-tuning with targeted supplementation.
As a long-time member of the Equine Science Society and the American Academy of Veterinary Nutrition, and author of numerous nutrition articles and a clinical nutrition textbook chapter, I’ve been engrossed in the latest research in equine nutrition for over 20 years.
My specialty is educating veterinarians and horse owners in a practically applicable way, and that’s exactly what you’ll get when we work together.

What if you could delegate nutrition conversations to a trusted expert — without stepping out of the loop?
Delivering top-tier veterinary care and helping your clients do what’s best for their horses is the heart of your practice.
You also know that equine nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all — and you’re absolutely right. Feeding strategies should be guided by each horse’s unique lifestyle, metabolism, and performance demands — not by marketing or what’s trending on social media.
But creating personalized feeding plans for every client just isn’t practical.
What if you could refer clients to a trusted, independent equine nutritionist — someone with years of hands-on experience working with veterinarians and their clients — who could provide expert guidance tailored to each horse? That’s exactly what I offer.
When we partner together, you can extend individualized nutrition consultation services to your clients without adding to your workload.
You stay focused on veterinary care. Your clients get access to science-based nutrition support. And you get to be the trusted resource who brought it all together.
