Hi there, I’m Kimberly Gauthier - dog mom, raw feeding enthusiast, and the voice behind Keep the Tail Wagging and Raw Feeder Life.
My journey into fresh feeding started back in 2013, when my dog Rodrigo was given a heartbreaking prognosis. Instead of accepting it, I dove headfirst into raw feeding and holistic care. Rodrigo went on to live more than a decade longer than predicted, and my dog Scout thrived for 500+ days post-lymphoma diagnosis -proof that fresh food really does make a difference.
Since then, I’ve studied canine nutrition (earning certifications from Feed Real and the Billinghurst Institute), experimented in my own kitchen, and shared everything I’ve learned with fellow dog parents. I’m not a vet and I don’t do consults - but I am an obsessed dog mom who believes every pet parent deserves practical, approachable information without the overwhelm.
Your inbox + my tendency to fall down rabbit holes + better health for your dog = a win all around.
Because let’s be real: life’s too short for bad dog food.
