Dr. Oscar Chavez, BVetMed MRCVS MBA leads our Canine Nutrition Team as
JustFoodForDogs expands and demand for our diets increases. His current role is
Chief Medical Officer at JustFoodForDogs LLC.

Dr. Chavez is a veterinarian and business executive with a progressive career
founded upon a solid commitment to pet advocacy, integrity, education, and sound
veterinary principles. Dr. Chavez graduated in 2006 from the Royal Veterinary
College, University of London, and started his career with Banfield, the world’s
largest veterinary practice, where he became Chief of Staff. In 2009, he joined
the faculty of the Animal and Veterinary Science department at California State
Polytechnic University, Pomona. There, he was Director of the Animal Health
Science veterinary technician program from 2010 – 2013, and remains an adjunct
faculty and researcher, and professor of veterinary clinical nutrition.
Additionally, he served as a member of the Multidisciplinary Committee and the
Registered Veterinary Technician Committee for the California State Veterinary
Medical Board. In 2012, Dr. Chavez completed a Master’s degree in Business
Administration (MBA) from the University of California at Irvine.

As Director of Canine Clinical Nutrition, he brings not only a deep technical
expertise in researching and working exclusively with freshly prepared whole
food diets at Cal Poly Pomona, but a true love for dogs that all of us here
share. His own Golden Retriever, Rey, was a successful case study for our food.
Rey’s kidney disease was successfully managed with our Renal Moderate Protein
vet-directed diet, which made Dr. Chavez’s involvement even that much more
personal to him.A graduate of the Royal Veterinary College in London, UK, Dr.
Chavez is a licensed practicing veterinarian who has focused on clinical
nutrition since graduating vet school. Dr. Chavez notes, “It all starts with
nutrition. You are what you eat, and practically any health issue can be
addressed through a higher quality diet. We are in a unique time for veterinary
medicine where people are seeking whole food diets using real USDA ingredients
over commercial kibble or cans that use feed grade ingredients. I’m excited of
the possibilities we have in further increasing the health of our dogs with this
trend. Our goal is to raise awareness of these diets and help bring a simple,
fast and affordable solution to as many pet parents and their dogs as possible.”
