Jan & Salty

I am a Champion of Dogs! They give us so much and ask for almost nothing in return. I believe every dog deserves the best life possible and that means optimal health. For certain they can't talk to us when they aren't feeling well...so we must use our senses to know when they aren't. Supporting their overall health with good foods and natural solutions seems ever more important today.

Since childhood, I have always had a love for the natural World. Whether it was foraging for mushrooms or plants along the living river bank or exploring ocean cures for cancer, I always looked to nature for answers where modern day drugs/treatments failed to produce a healthy or desired outcome. For me, there is a deep inner sense that natures holds the answers. Whenever someone was sick or an animal was not well, I asked what might help from the natural World. 

​

I don't think there is a person alive who hasn't lost a loved one or a dog and wondered maybe how the ending could have been changed or the outcome improved. Like you, I have had loses, and those losses have had an impact on my heart. I want to make a positive difference, and believe the difference is in educating/guiding pet parents on what good health is, and how healing is possible with proper nutrition, exercise and herbs & mushrooms to help support the body when needed.

​

Every dog is different, just like every person is different. Each breed has its own unique disposition, predilections toward health issues, energetics, patterns and even affinities toward healing. Knowing your dog is as important as knowing your children. One may have a tendency toward allergies and the other might have a tendency for digestive distress. One may be indifferent to the sights and sounds of fireworks while the other may shake and shiver seeking relief and safety under the bed. One may always be hungry while the other one is picky about their food. Understanding them as individuals is essential.

​

Both human and canine bodies are designed to heal given the right nutrition, environment and support. I am here to help you assess your dog's nutritional needs and offer guidance for herbal support. For the past 30 years I have worked with my own dogs to help them thrive and live out a full life. And, even in the instance where my female Labrador Abby had cancer, I researched and found a TCM Veterinarian who formulated herbal support to keep her comfortable for the last 6 months of her life.

​

I am committed to helping guide you in your dog's health and well being.
