About me
and the show

I’ve been a Certified Canine Nutritionist for over 15 years, and a dog mama for over 24! My knowledge of dogs, health tips and tricks grew exponentially while fostering over 500 dogs running my own dog rescue.

I saw so many ailments, many of which, were easily cured by feeding whole, fresh food. I hope to share my expertise and wisdom with you all, coast to coast now! I want you to be armed with everything you need to give your pup the healthiest and happiest life possible!

In my show we will explore, and debunk, health myths, TikTok recipes and more! We will make a dish together and dish a little about a topic, then end it with a dance pawty!

So make sure to tune in with your furbaby each week! First show will be available July 1st! Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss it!

My dog is the world’s pickiest eater, not to mention suffers from severe allergies. I was at my wits end with feeding him and felt like a horrible mom till I stumbled on Homegrown Hounds. Melanie’s willingness to share her knowledge freely is so comforting. It’s so hard to know who to trust and what information is actually true online. I took her cooking class and never looked back! My baby is a Homegrown Hound now and forever! It’s helped me love my baby better and rid myself of the stress and guilt of doing what’s best for him. I will be a customer for life!

I rely on Melanie for all of my dog mom tricks, from upset tummies to diet suggestions! The probiotic she recommended has gotten rid of my dogs tear stains even! If there’s a dog problem, I’m pretty sure she has the best solution. She’s even been a huge help for behavioral recommendations. She’s like the old lady in the village you rely on for her experience, ha-ha. My dogs are healthier and happier than ever!
