The 27-year-old pet nutritionist, who appears alongside Graeme — famously known as The Dogfather — brings a fresh and deeply knowledgeable voice to the hit show as they help tackle some of Britain’s most challenging canine behaviour problems. In one episode, Chloe’s expertise is put firmly in the spotlight when a vegan couple asks whether their dog can safely follow a plant-based diet.
But as viewers tune in, many are also curious about Chloe herself: why she uses a wheelchair, and why she has a feeding tube. Her answer is both heartbreaking and inspiring.
Chloe’s health journey began when she was just 13, after what first seemed like a minor infection became something far more serious. She was later diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, known as POTS, a condition that can cause the heart rate to rise dramatically when standing, leaving sufferers dizzy, exhausted and in pain.
Doctors later discovered that her POTS had been triggered by Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a genetic condition that affects connective tissue and can cause fragile joints, chronic pain and overwhelming fatigue. For Chloe, it changed everything.
By the age of 16, she needed a wheelchair. Her body was struggling, and her digestive system was failing. After spending three months in hospital, doctors recommended tube feeding — a moment that might sound frightening to many, but for Chloe came with an unexpected emotion: relief. 
She has explained that becoming tube-fed removed a terrifying daily pressure. She no longer had to fear dying from being unable to eat properly, or carry the emotional burden of forcing her body to do something it simply could not manage. Instead, the feeding tube gave her energy she had not felt in years.
That honesty is powerful because it challenges the way people often see medical aids. A wheelchair, a feeding tube, or an assistance dog can be misunderstood by outsiders as symbols of limitation. But for Chloe, they became tools of freedom, safety and survival.
Her determination did not stop there. Facing long waiting lists for an assistance dog, Chloe made a bold decision: she would train one herself. At 15, she met Ted, a springer spaniel who would become far more than a pet. He became her partner, protector and lifeline.
Their first meeting was almost cinematic. Chloe has recalled collapsing at the breeder’s home, only for Ted to instinctively sit on her chest. It was a moment that changed everything. Within 13 months, Ted became a fully qualified assistance dog through the charity Dog AID.
Later, Chloe trained a second dog, Cinnabar, continuing a remarkable journey that fused her lived experience with her growing professional passion. With the support of her dogs, she went on to qualify as a dog nutritionist herself. 
Her relationship with nutrition is deeply personal. After losing the simple joy of eating and sharing meals in the way many people take for granted, Chloe began to understand how vital nutrients are — not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too. That experience helped shape her desire to give dogs the very best nutrition possible.
Now, her career is rising fast. With a growing social media audience of nearly 80,000 Instagram followers, Chloe has already appeared on This Morning, Steph’s Packed Lunch and at Crufts. She has also credited broadcaster Clare Balding with inspiring her media ambitions after a chance encounter at Crufts in Birmingham.
From there, Chloe was scouted at Dogfest and began building a television career rooted not in gimmicks, but in genuine knowledge, lived experience and an obvious love for animals.
Her arrival on Dogs Behaving Badly marks another huge milestone. She is not there as a side story or a symbol of overcoming adversity. She is there because she knows her field, understands animal welfare, and brings something important to the screen.
Still, it is impossible to separate Chloe’s expertise from her journey. Her health battles have shaped her empathy. Her dogs helped restore her independence. Her feeding tube gave her strength. Her wheelchair gave her mobility. And her determination turned hardship into purpose. 
Chloe Fuller’s story is not simply about illness. It is about adaptation, courage and the extraordinary bond between humans and animals.
At just 27, she has already lived through more than many people face in a lifetime — yet she has turned pain into purpose, vulnerability into strength, and survival into a career helping others.
And that may be what makes her so compelling on screen: Chloe does not just understand dogs. She understands resilience.
