Dra. Priya Nair

"I chose veterinary nutrition because I was frustrated by how much confusion existed in a field that should be straightforward. Nutrition is one of the most powerful tools we have for managing feline health — and yet the information available to cat owners is dominated by marketing language, influencer opinions, and myths that have been repeated so many times they've become accepted as fact."

"The pet food industry spends billions of dollars per year convincing cat owners to make emotional purchasing decisions. My job is to give owners the scientific framework to make rational ones."

After completing her DVM at the Royal Veterinary College in London, Dr. Nair pursued a clinical nutrition residency at Tufts University — one of the most competitive programs in veterinary dietetics. She became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Nutrition (DACVN), a credential held by fewer than 100 veterinarians worldwide. Her subsequent work as a contributing reviewer for the WSAVA Global Nutrition Guidelines gave her a uniquely global perspective on how dietary recommendations translate across different food systems, regulatory environments, and owner cultures.

She joined SnuggleSouls because she saw an opportunity to reach cat owners at the moment they're most receptive to good information — when they're actively searching for answers online, before a bad decision has already been made.
