Bio.

Dr. Hayes is a placeholder vet reviewer for pre-launch content. Real advisory board members will be named here once contracts are finalized.

The role is editorial — reading every article and formulation, flagging anything that doesn't hold up, and signing the page when it does.

Real names and credentials for our advisory board will appear here as contracts are finalized. We'd rather show a placeholder than fake a CV.

— Areas of focus

Veterinary nutrition.
Diet, supplement formulation, and the practical question of what to feed when the prescription kibble works medically but the dog refuses to touch it.
Gut microbiome and probiotics.
Strain selection, dosing, and which clinical findings actually translate from human research into the dog gut — especially post-antibiotic and post-stress GI recovery.
Geriatric care.
Joint health, weight management, and cognitive support in dogs over seven — the fastest-growing part of the editorial library.
Editorial review.
Vetting health content for accuracy, tone, and the gap between what's technically true and what's actually useful for a dog owner standing in their kitchen at 11pm.

— On the record

Every article here already cites its studies by author and year, and is slated for line-by-line veterinary review as the advisory board is finalized.
