✨ You hear him scratching again. His ears are red, irritated, and you can see the frustration in his eyes. You’ve tried drops, wipes, and every ear cleaner you can find… yet, the itch always returns. Sound familiar?✨Recurring ear infections and itchy ears are often caused by hidden food allergies or intolerances. These issues can be incredibly frustrating—for both you and your furry friend. But there is a way to get to the bottom of it and bring peace and comfort back to their life (and yours!).🌱 The Elimination Diet Solution 🌱An elimination diet involves removing common allergens from your dog’s meals and reintroducing ingredients slowly to identify what might be causing the reaction. This approach takes time, but it’s a powerful, natural way to uncover triggers without harsh medications. And the best part? It leads to lasting relief and a happier, healthier pup.👩⚕️ How I Can HelpAs an integrative veterinary nutritionist, I guide pet parents step-by-step through the elimination process, creating a balanced and nutritious diet tailored to your dog’s needs. I’m here to support you in discovering the root of the issue and seeing the joy of finally giving your dog the relief he deserves.Comment HELP if you’d like my guidance, and I’ll reach out to you!

I know firsthand how frustrating it can be when training doesn’t seem to ease certain behavior issues. My own dog, Jazz, struggled with anxiety and reactivity for years. After trying countless training methods, I looked deeper and realized his diet might be part of the puzzle. By making changes to his food, I saw a shift I hadn’t seen with training alone. Jazz became calmer, less reactive, and much more confident.💡 Why diet affects behaviorJust like in humans, certain nutrients have a direct impact on brain health, mood, and emotional balance in our pets. The gut-brain axis is a powerful link between the digestive system and the brain, meaning a healthy gut can actually help balance mood and reduce stress. Here are a few key nutrients that play a role: ✨ Omega-3 fatty acids support brain health, helping to reduce anxiety and improve focus.✨ Tryptophan—a nutrient found in turkey, for example—helps promote calmness by increasing serotonin levels.✨ Prebiotics - can help improve gut health, which in turn supports emotional balance. If you’re a dog mom facing similar struggles, know that I’ve been there, and I’m here to help! 🐶 Reach out by commenting “HELP” and we can take a closer look at what your dog is eating to see if a dietary change might be the missing piece for their happiness and well-being. #qi4paws #petnutrition #foodtherapy #veterinarynutritionist #freshfoodforpets #holisticvet #integrativeveterinarymedicine #healthydogfood #dognutrition #catnutrition #homemadepetfood #petnutritionist #healingpetswithfood

Fresh food diets offer incredible benefits that go beyond basic nutrition, supporting a vibrant, healthy life. 👉Don’t forget: share with your friends and follow me for more nutrition tips! 🐾 Less Carbohydrates Dogs and cats are true carnivores, anatomically and physiologically built to eat prey: meat, organs, and bones. They don’t need carbs. Most commercial pet foods contain high amounts of carbs (30-60%). Why? Because it’s a cheap source of energy and it’s needed to produce those foods. But more and more studies are showing that too many carbs have negative consequences for the health of our pets. 🐾 It’s not processed During the heating process of kibble and cans all kinds of chemical reactions take place. Some of these are desirable, such as killing bacteria. But there are also less desirable processes that produce substances that we would rather not see in food. There is also a loss of nutrients due to heating and processing. In humans, there are several studies that show that the more processed foods you have in your diet, the greater the risk of cancer. 🐾 Fewer additives Fresh diets mean you can avoid the synthetic preservatives and potentially harmful toxins found in many commercial pet foods. These substances can accumulate over time, potentially leading to health problems. 🐾 Increased Hydration Hydration is crucial for your pet’s health. Fresh foods naturally contain more water, especially beneficial for cats who are notorious for their low thirst drive. Increased water intake supports kidney and urinary tract health. 🐾 Every pet is unique, and their diet should be too! Fresh food diets can be customized to cater to specific health concerns, allergies, and dietary needs, making it an ideal choice for managing and preventing chronic conditions holisti

Yep that's me 🥰. Wasn't I cute? 🤣
🐾As far as I can remember I've always had two big passions: animals and music. I was lucky enough to turn one of them in my profession and the other one in a hobby.
🩺As with any profession being a veterinarian comes with it's pros and cons. Having to get out of bed in the middle of the night and euthanasia are definitly two parts of the job that are less fun.
🌟But overall I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to help animals.
❤️Animals are amazing in every way and they deserve the best, healhiest and happiest life possible!
🍎My hope is that with sharing honest information and tips in this account I can contribute. Making this world a little bit better, one animal at a time.
