Although Companion Animal Sciences Institute courses and programs of study in canine
nutrition and fitness are in-depth, advanced and challenging, the
Companion
Animal Sciences Institute
does not specifically instruct in the provision of professional fitness
and/or
nutrition consultation services. We urge students and graduates to avoid
performing any services that they have not been formally trained in and
to check any applicable laws and regulations. Students or
graduates who choose to
perform professional nutrition or fitness services do so at their own
risk and the Companion
Animal Sciences Institute is
not
responsible for any resulting damages or liability.
