Hi everyone,

Here's my latest blog

Better a Day Too Early, Than A Day Too Late... Or is it...

Please let me know your thoughts ###

Better a Day Too Early, than a Day Too Late…. But Is It? The decision to euthanise a pet is one of the hardest choices a guardian can face. For many, this phrase offers reassurance: a way to frame the impossible choice as an act of mercy rather than tragedy. The idea is simple, choosing euthanasia...

Hi everyone, I've been quiet here recently - but beavering away behind the scenes with work and studies (Botanical Animal Practitioner Training) etc. I've won an award!!

From Rachael Maxwell - Animal Botanical

💚 Hi Kirstey 💚

A big hearty well done on winning my award for best offering with a dog for Herbal Shenanigans 2025 Spring series and for working through the spring detoxification series with grace despite all the problems with Monty and all you do at home, and actually for everyone! But also for undertaking your Practitioner work too! Seriously a big well done.

You have worked so hard to offer and support Monty and I have been super inspired by your determination with herbs, foraging, offering and working with the season.

A huge well done from me.

🐾 Remembering Our Beloved Pets 🐾

Today is World Pet Memorial Day, a time to honour and cherish the memories of the pets who brought unconditional love, joy, and companionship into our lives.

Though they may no longer be by our side, their paw prints remain forever in our hearts. Whether it was a wagging tail that greeted us after a long day, gentle purrs that soothed our worries, or the endless laughter they inspired. Our furry, feathered, and scaled friends will never be forgotten.

Share a memory or a photo of a beloved pet today and celebrate the love that never fades. 💛🐾

Hi everyone,

Did you know it's International Tea Day?

I enjoy creating blends of tea for myself and my dogs to enjoy equally (obviously the dogs have it cool, cold, or iced)!

My first tea blend is called Winter Wonder Paws - and is a lovely seasonal blend to help ease anxiety and stress and Christmas blues - it's a blend for both human and dog 🐾❤️🍵

I've made other seasonal blends too 💚

What's your fav tea or are you a coffee drinker?

A friend and professional colleague blended a beautiful tea - called Mother Me and is available on

The proceeds from this lovely tasting tea goes to South East Dog Rescue❣️

‼️ A reminder to people - please, please, please be careful who you have walking, training, boarding, sitting and grooming your dogs etc ‼️

A fellow professional has just had all her hard work undone by a 'groomer' - who without authorisation from the dogs owner took said dog for a walk (with other dogs and off lead - this dog is a flight risk and more 😔). He was only booked in for a groom!! This is a long story cut very short!

Please don't be afraid to ask to see qualifications, insurance and memberships of relevant associations (and do your own checks) - a decent professional will only be pleased to show you. If they don't or they shy away from it - please walk away quickly, very quickly!!

They are your dogs and very precious - some people just want your money and are exceptionally good at taking it! Be mindful please 🙏🐾❤️

‼️Remember too - there are NO quick fixes in dog training/behaviour management ‼️

If a so called professional says they can sort A,B, or C out in 5mins or a few hours - this is a red flag warning - walk away quickly !!

However, I remain committed to supporting those in need and will continue to offer pet loss counselling, which is an important focus of my work.

Thank you all for your understanding during this time—I truly appreciate your support. However, If anyone has any urgent needs regarding canine massage, health and wellness, please don't hesitate to reach out, and I will do my best to support where I can.

Warm wishes, Kirstey
