MEET NATALIA | Owner

Here’s a little bit about me to help you get to know me better before we meet!
I have five rescue pets—four dogs and one cat. I love training with them, and in my spare time I go on adventures with my crew, bake, and try out new cooking recipes. I currently volunteer for local rescues and have fostered plenty of dogs, three of whom I ended up adopting, a situation often referred to as "foster failing" !

I have been around dogs since I was three years old and haven’t spent a single day away from a dog since. Growing up, I dog-sat for family members and was known in my neighbourhood as the young girl who was always out in her spare time walking the family dog. This is how I began my first dog-walking gig as a teenager. When I turned 20, I started dog walking professionally and launched my own dog-walking business. Since launching this in 2014, I have built my career around this, offering services like house sitting, dog boarding, and dog walking. As the next step in my business, on April 1, 2023, I added an additional unit for dog boarding and daycare, known as Wilde K9 Club.

I founded Wilde K9 Club to provide care for multiple dogs at once—more than I could accommodate in my home. At Wilde K9 Club, I limit my intake to a maximum of 10 family dogs at a time. This approach enables me to focus on the individual needs of each dog, ensuring that all the dogs in my care are well looked after and enjoy my company without the stress that can arise when many dogs are together. With over 10 years of professional experience, I am committed to providing high-quality care for dogs and continue to provide the best second home for your dog here at Wilde K9 Club.

In 2020, I turned my passion for raw feeding into a business by creating pet treats and raw food for the public. Since I started raw feeding my dogs in 2019, I have seen significant improvements in my dogs' allergies and gut sensitivities, and I haven’t looked back. I love knowing exactly what I’m putting in my dogs' bowls. To further enhance my knowledge in pet nutrition, I have completed pet nutrition courses focused on raw feeding and nutrition. Now, I’m excited to open a small business that offers organ meat, muscle meat, bones, and single-ingredient dehydrated treats and chews. In a raw diet, it's crucial to provide high-quality organ meats (10% of their diet), as they contain many beneficial nutrients that help dogs thrive. These include antioxidants and omega-3s found in ingredients such as heart, tongue, kidney, liver, gizzards, lungs, testicles, and pizzle. All products are free from antibiotics, hormones, steroids, and preservatives.
