each pet is unique
Our pets are unique; their breed, temperament, environment in which they live, life cycle, stress levels, anxiety, behavior and lifestyle are all factors that influence their overall health. Your pet's health will change throughout their life and having a certified Pet Nutrition Counselor to help understand the changes can be a huge relief for pet parents.

the path of healing
The healing process is a path not a destination. Healing will manifest differently with each pet. Each visit is a starting point where we will analyze your pet's current state of health and then define a plan to move forward from there. As we treat underlining symptoms, more symptoms may emerge as nutritional deficiencies are met. Every nutritional step moves us along the path to overall healing. Each animal's body is equipped for optimal health and balance.
a holistic approach to health
Your pet's body has all the elements it needs to reach optimal health. Most often, nutrient deficiencies and inflammation cause disease. By understanding how intricate and interrelated your pet's body is we can take a supportive role in the healing process by providing the tools your pet needs to meet deficiencies, heal inflammation, and boost the natural healing process.
Environmental Concerns
In order to support your pet’s health further, we must also consider your pet’s environment. Are they under any sort of stress (moving, a new baby, another addition of a pet, divorce, death in family, etc.)? Have they encountered a trauma such as gone through a natural disaster, tangled with another predator, neglect, re-homed or abused? What sort of environment concerns could affect their health (mold, allergies, toxic air and/or water, new construction, bedding, detergents, cleaning material, herbicides for lawns, heat exhaustion, flea & tick medications, heartworm pills, etc.). Just as people need to navigate through the stress of life, pets need help as well. Often changing a pet’s environment can help jump start a healing process in an impactful way.
Teamwork
As a part of your pet’s health care team, I recommend working with your veterinary using various diagnosis such as bloodwork, allergy testing, physical exams, etc. Diagnostic tools are very impactful in figuring out your pet’s specific nutritional needs! I recommend emailing me your pet’s diagnostic history prior to any consultation. During all consultations I make integrative recommendations such as: working with specialized behaviorists, holistic veterinarians, acupuncturists, chiropractors and homeopaths which can be an important step to making sure your pet’s health is supported in the best possible way. There is no one size fits all approach to health.
