About Karen Rosenfeld
I’m a holistic wellness practitioner for dogs and cats and a holistic dog behaviorist.
For the past 30 years, I’ve had the great fortunate to work with and share my life with companion animals. My journey into natural animal health, wellness and behavioral well-being came from a deep desire to do better for my first dog. The conventional pet food and pet care industry did not provide what I was seeking.
For many years, I cared for a large pack of rescue dogs and cats. Each dog and cat had their own individual history of health and behavioral challenges. Dedicating my heart and soul, I ensured each of my companion animals lived in harmony and had long healthy lives.
I bring the same dedication to working with my clients’ dogs and cats.
Through my holistic wellness services, I treat dogs and cats for a wide range of health issues and diseases, including: autoimmune issues, endocrine issues, heart conditions, heartworm and lungworm positive diagnoses, kidney and liver diseases, musculoskeletal issues, neurological and seizure conditions.
My holistic behavioral service helps dogs and their guardians overcome behavioral issues, from basic obedience training to severe situational trauma, including separation anxiety, reactivity to humans, reactivity to dogs and other animals, noise and inanimate objects.

We’ve gone raw! The best decision I made was to order a Complete Raw Feeding Diet specific to MaggieLou. After just three months, I have a different dog. Thinner, healthier, cleaner teeth, more energy…I cannot recommend Karen enough.

Your recipes for homemade dog food had everything that she has loved all of her life. Well, I made the first batch and she went nuts. She has been on your recipe for one month now. She is gaining back the weight she lost. Her brindle colors are bright again. She is perky…grabbing toys and wrestling with the other dogs and greeting everyone at the door…I cannot thank you enough.
