Darling Ted the retro doodle is 11 years old - what a gentle giant this guy is 🧡. Sadly his itchy skin has been causing him discomfort and ear infections back to back - his vet has had him on steroids for the last 4 years and now his fur is thinning in patches along his back……
His owners just want him to feel well again!
We are now making great progress he has started to get on top of his leaky gut and yeast and toxin overload thanks to herbs and raw food which he LOVES 😍 his itching and dandruff are getting less - it’s not an overnight fix but it will be a long term solution using herbs and nutrition to give the body the tools to recover and rebalance- keep up the great work Team Ted 👏😃

Below is a gorgeous testimonial from a happy client all the way up in Blenheim-
'Pearl has improved remarkably since I contacted Becky. The Chinese herbs and probiotic have changed her so much, although she didn't think much of the coconut oil! She is more content and relaxed, eating a diet of real food and loving it. In the 4 weeks she has been working through this there has been no itchy skin flare ups, biting at her feet or the usual ear issues. Becky is a super wise and knowledgable, caring person who only wants the best for the precious pets under her care. Liz and Pearl'

Beautiful Miss Coco is only 2 years old - but for the past year she has had continuous itchy skin, chronic recurring ear infections, tiny scabs along her back and dandruff plus licking and scratching paws and v***a- after being back and forth to the vet for many rounds of antibiotics and steroids getting it calm then it flaring up - her owner has contacted me for help-
zoom consultations worked well as Coco is from the north island-her mum is pleased to report she is responding well considerably less itching in only 3 weeks of herbal treatment- not licking paws or v***a ear issues calm - bright and bouncy again a small amount of dandruff remains so treatment will continue for another month as the body rebalances further but great results so far. 🤗🐾

Shaka is a beautiful Cane Corso - Italian Mastiff- he is 8 years old a true gentle giant and unfortunately tripped over a rock while playing in the ocean - his foreleg metacarpal joint is sore and swollen and after a course veterinary of anti inflammatory meds caused nasty gut issues and no relief he came for a second opinion- I sent him off to get X-rays and have put him on natural pain relief and anti inflammatory medication to avoid side effects. 🤕

Always love getting feedback from my clients - thought I would share a message from Miss Pearls mum ❤️‍🩹

Hey Becky, just to let you know, Miss pearl is on the up and improving after starting her on your herbs.
Her eyes, not so gunky.
Not eating at her paws, hyper keratosis swelling going down.
I am sure she is feeling much happier and settled.
We both thank you so much. 🫶🏻🐾

Chronic itching ears - licking paws, or scratching and
Maybe it is keeping you awake at night?
I see so many cases like this in clinic - owners being prescribed courses of ear drops, steroids, antibiotics, shampoos by their vets which give a little bit of relief only for the problem to return with vengeance!
That’s because drugs only treat the symptoms you can see. They don’t address the underlying condition that’s causing the symptoms. (And they can also have negative side effects.)

Otitis externa can progress to otitis media, and in some cases, that could develop into otitis interna. So it’s important to deal with ear infections promptly before they become more serious.

There are however, safe and effective natural remedies for dog ear infection treatment.

You’ll need to be patient with the healing process when you’re dealing with chronic ear issues in your dog. As your dog releases toxins through her ears, remember that this is an important part of healing.❤️‍🩹

Natural medicines that I prescribe in clinic support your dogs body to detoxify and then strengthen their immune system to cope with the cause of the irritation- it could be related to an allergy or to a weakened gut or even anxiety- that is why I love using my medicinal herbs as together we can uncover the cause and create a unique treatment plan specifically designed for your dogs needs- one size does not fit all 🤗🐾

Say hi to Boo 👻! He is an 8 year old Labrador cross. His owner brought him in to see me 3 weeks ago with a diagnosis of stage 2 kidney failure.

He was also being prescribed Cytopoint for itchy skin and Beransa for Osteoarthritis.
His owner was spending a small fortune on her beloved boy giving him the best she could, to help him feel happy.
But dear Boo had itchy dry skin, was restless and anxious, losing weight and muscle tone, weak in his rear end having trouble getting up after lying down, and generally a bit depressed. 😔

I have just seen Boo today for his 3 week follow up- he has been prescribed a Chinese formula -
Yi Guan Jian - for renal failure, anxiety, pain, dry itchy skin and inflammation of liver and bowel.

Well his mum is over the moon!🌙 he’s a different dog!
Putting on weight bright and happy, stronger, glowing skin no dandruff - clear eyes, loves his real food diet -thanks to raw essentials advice - and will be heading to see Sabrina at Anatomie for hydrotherapy next week - he hasn’t needed his Cytopoint injection as he is not itchy!
His new vet Stephanie from Kowhai plans to redo his bloods in a couple of weeks to see how they look, and he has no signs of osteoarthritis so no more Beransa either!
Boo is Back! 👻😍👏🐾

Meet Blue - he is a 2 yr
old Huntaway cross - living his best life on his farm!
He is a sensitive fellow - Since April last year he has had been back and forth to the vet for gut dysbiosis alternating between vomiting and diarrhoea, bladder infections, developing slight incontinence leaving puddles after sleeping - has had exploratory X-rays, blood tests repeat antibiotics, other medications plus special dried food…but he was still losing weight….
Poor fella - his mum just wanted him to feel good and enjoy his life on the farm!
So we have been consulting via Zoom- after our first consultation where we started him on Chinese herbs and real foods easily digestible proteins small meals little and often, plus healing his leaky gut and repopulating his gut microbiome- our follow up call was so lovely to hear!
His mum reported his stools are normal with no mucous, he has put on weight from 24.5kgs to 28kgs- incontinence has stopped he has much more energy - she tells me how happy she is with the process - and I feel honoured to have worked with such a dedicated family.
Yay for Blue 👏🤩

Meet Gizmo the Kitten- his amazing mum volunteers and has adopted him because otherwise he would be put down. He has wobbler disease - cerebellar Hyperplasia- this fellow has a strong constitution - the brain can move the limbs but he can't balance so his front legs drag him around.
I have started him in a Chinese formula Bu Gan Tang plus he is having animal acupuncture treatment with my fellow practitioner Sabrina F**t from “Anatomie”
These therapies started before Christmas and Gizmo can now balance by himself starting to take a wobbly step or two and gaining strength and confidence on the underwater treadmill.
🤗 He has an excellent prognosis 👏
