Specializing in Treating Complex Health Issues
I specialize in naturally treating dogs and cats with complex health conditions and multiple health issues.
Before the initial consultation, I take the time to conduct an in-depth review of your dog or cat’s background information. Then, during the initial consultation, we thoroughly discuss your dog or cat’s background information, which includes past and present:
- Dietary components.
- Health issues.
- Course of action taken to address health issues.
- Supplements.
- Personal care items.
- Other items or influences in your dog or cat’s immediate environment.
Coupled with my knowledge and skill, my approach ensures that typically overlooked important details are examined and connections made between factors affecting your dog or cat’s health circumstances.
Our discussion is essential to informing the creation of a comprehensive natural and holistic diet, nutrition, wellness and personal care plan tailored to your individual dog or cat’s needs. In creating a plan, I select from a wide variety of healing whole foods, supplemental foods, herbs, nutraceuticals, other alternative medicines and personal care items.
Unbiased and Unaffiliated
I am not aligned or affiliated to any brands or companies.
I never recommend products based on marketing campaigns or popularity.
Instead, my approach provides clients with the opportunity to receive unbiased recommendations and guidance for their dog or cat.
My clients can have confidence that every item I recommend is specifically selected to suit their individual dog or cat’s circumstances.
Clean and Pure Product Recommendations
For my clients’ dogs and cats, I only recommend pure single ingredient or limited clean ingredient products.
I provide replacement recommendations for dietary components, supplements and personal care items that contain species inappropriate ingredients or toxic substances.
