Meet Mikaela

Hello Everyone! 

I’m Mikaela, the owner of Bamford Nutrition: Nibble Nutrition! 


I recently graduated with a Master of Science in Animal Nutrition from the University of Guelph, with my research focusing on the potentials of ginger (Zingiber officinale) as a nutraceutical in animal osteoarthritis. During this time I also completed several graduate level courses on various topics of animal nutrition (i.e Advanced Animal Nutrition I and II, Comparative Animal Nutrition, and Research Methodology in Animal Nutrition). Before that, I graduated from the University of Western Ontario with a Science degree specializing in Biology with focus on the ecology and animal physiology modules. I have also completed a certificate in Pet Nutrition Coaching offered by the North American Veterinary Community to reinforce my ability to communicate with clients about any potential nutritional concerns

I have had a passion for animals since before I could remember, and throughout my life I am constantly reminded of the importance of these connections humans have with companion animals. I have adopted my own dog and owned my own horse for several years now, and they continuously teach me new things all the time and are the source of much inspiration to learn. 


With my lifelong love for animals, I decided to open this business to aid other passionate  owners who want to help their four-legged companions receive the nutritional care they deserve. Decisions and recommendations used in this company will be scientifically backed and I will keep up-to-date on animal science research to provide the best nutritional support for your horses, dogs, and cats. 

Two of my best friends, Benny (goldendoodle) and Trapper (paint horse)
