Onto the research portion of my newest book,
WHOLISTIC GROOMING FOR THE SOUL 🤓

A whole chapter of the book will be all about how wolves evolved into dogs! 🐺🐶

This topic is extremely intriguing to me and has reaffirmed my interest in wolf biology and evolution.

Here are 3 of the amazing books I'm using for my research. I have learned so much and I'm so excited to sum it all up into one beautiful chapter about the evolution from canis lupus to canis familiarias!

Between archaeological findings, DNA sequencing and the stories of Indigenous Peoples, we can come to an understanding of how wolves slowly transformed into the modern dogs we see today - our best friends!

Just another small share from the Conscious Business Accelerator program..

We learned about different limiting beliefs that may be holding us back.

I recognized that Perfectionism and Fear of Outshining Others have been the main 2 limiting beliefs holding me back.

To reframe these beliefs means to take years and years worth of conditioning to empower ourselves with new beliefs! It's not easy, but it is necessary.

I am pleased to announce that I've been taking part in a program called the Conscious Business Accelerator for the last two weeks, hosted by the lovely Victor Oddo and Aaron Doughty.

The amount of value in this course has been astronomical. We kicked off the course with a very powerful Breath Work Ceremony hosted by Victor - it was absolutely transformative! The longest breath work session I've ever done and it's led to some deep personal growth.

The biggest takeaway and breakthrough from this course so far is this - I AM MEANT TO WORK WITH PEOPLE! I HAVE A GIFT TO SHARE! and... MY SOUL TRIBE DOES EXIST! ☺️

You see, one of my biggest blocks was having a dislike and distrust of humans. Since my greatest and deepest traumas were all passed down to me from humans, it created this aversion to humans. I'm not kidding! It's why animals are my forte, it's why I make friends with animals and trees much more easily than the human variety 🤫

But, what I realized was that this belief and trauma response was blocking me from embracing connection with MY people. The people who understand real trauma, who love me no matter what, who respect and appreciate my energy and spirit! They exist!

It's been so transformative to also learn and understand that my vibe isn't for everyone. I attract people similar to me - deeply empathetic, compassionate souls, those who have a strong connection with Mother Nature and Spirit.

I still know that I'm not the one everyone likes. I'm not the one who everyone resonates with or wants to be friends with. But I have learned how special I am, how powerful I am and how there ARE people who "get me."

Embracing the fact that I LOVE HUMANS and I LOVE CONNECTING WITH THEM AUTHENTICALLY reminds me of my purpose. Small talk may not be my thing, material possessions and "business" are not my forte - my forte is COMMUNICATION AND CONNECTION.

So thank you so much to Aaron, Victor, Melissa and the rest of the CBA team who have helped restore my love and faith in humanity. Because after all, people are animals too 💖🙌💜💓

Nothing like spending your Sunday evening volunteering at Ember's Bunny Rescue 💜🩷

These bunnies are absolute sweethearts and are starting to become more familiar with my presence in the barn.

I'm so grateful to be able to give back to non-profit organizations again now that I've put grooming on the back burner! 🐰🐇

Some of you may be wondering, "Why in the world did Wholistic Hounds decide to stop offering wholistic grooming services?!"
😮🐩✂️🧼🚫

As I'm working on finishing the rough draft for WHOLISTIC GROOMING FOR THE SOUL, I've realized that the practical side of grooming just isn't something I'm super passionate about anymore 😕 Instead, I'm putting my focus on holistic healing modalities and holistic animal therapies such as herbalism, homeopathy and energy healing.

Stay tuned for NEW content that explains why I came to the decision to focus on holistic healing and positive reinforcement training instead of the practical side of grooming tasks.

I am SO grateful for the things that have happened to bring me to this decision, as I feel I'm stepping into alignment with my Highest Self and beginning to truly EMBODY what it means to run a conscious, spiritual-based HEALING business.

Thank you to all of our followers and supporters who continue to cheer us on and who have never tried to put us in a box. We encourage everyone to follow their soul purpose! ✨

Welcome to Pitbull Wellness & Co.! 👋🐾

If you’re new here, let me introduce myself! I’m Dr. Victoria Collazo, PharmD—a veterinary pharmacist, canine nutritionist, certified health coach, and cooking instructor dedicated to helping bully breed dog owners reduce the need for allergy medications through health-focused, fresh food.

This journey started with my own dog, Rocco, who suffered from severe allergies, food intolerances, and even developed a mast cell tumor at just three years old while eating a commercial raw diet. Traditional treatments failed him, so I turned to whole food, plant based, science-backed nutrition—and the results were life-changing. Rocco has been allergy-med free for over three years, and now I help other bully breed owners do the same!

Here, you’ll find:

🐶 Practical nutrition tips to support your dog’s long-term health
🥣 Balanced, fresh food recipes to help reduce chronic illness
💊 Ways to minimize medication dependency through diet & lifestyle
💡Science-backed nutrition information your vet may not know, be aware of, or has never discussed with you

I believe that food is medicine, and my mission is to help dogs live longer, healthier, and happier lives. Www.pitbullwellness.com

Now that you’re here, introduce yourself in the comments! What’s your dog’s name, and what brings you to this page?

Saturday volunteering at the bunny barn 🐇🥕

Today I was pleasantly surprised to meet the goats at Ember's Bunny Rescue, who greeted me calmly and with interest. One of them even let me give him a good scratch!

Here at Wholistic Hounds, we love all animals and prioritize giving back to the community by volunteering any chance we get 🥰🐰🐐

How do you respond to your triggers?

Hey all and Happy Friday! 🌞

I know it can be tempting to put someone on blast on the Internet who posts things that we believe are inaccurate, dangerous or even harmful to animals. In the modern world of social media, all this does is generate more hatred, separation and drama.

While it is absolutely important to advocate for animal welfare and animal rights (I do everyday), we need to resist the urge to single out individuals, copying their content and reposting it without their permission to essentially boost their harmful content and have others react and spread more hatred, negativity and drama. Instead, let's report the content and get it removed!

When we single someone out for their behavior in a public space, instead of creating more compassion and empathy, what we're really doing is stirring the pot.

Educational posts are important, but let's refrain from singling individuals out and instead focus on the problem at hand.

This is my experience since being bullied online can be detrimental to someone's mental health - I've lived it! Everyone has something to say and of course accountability matters, unfortunately Facebook and social media aren't likely to ever be the place where people take accountability and are held responsible.

Remember - what you focus on grows. Choose to see the positive today ⭐

Happy Friday!

It seems that my intention to stop focusing on making money actually ended up manifesting more money (and clients) into my life 😅

A fellow intuitive just referred two clients to me who were looking for animal communication sessions.

This morning’s session was a Mediumship reading (pets that have passed away), which are my absolute favorites to do and the ones I am most skilled at.

The session was beautiful, heartwarming and even a bit vulnerable. I am confident I helped bring clarity and closure to this client who recently lost a beloved pet. 🖤

This serves as an important reminder of my purpose and ability to help spirits from the other realm, while supporting the spirit that remains in physical form. There were a lot of validations and confirmations that the insights I received were accurate, which can do wonders to boost an intuitive’s confidence in their abilities.

Thank you, Universe for responding to my frequency and thank you for those that are open to this type of work! Vulnerability isn't always easy, but it is necessary for growth and healing.

Here’s to more animal communication and reiki healing sessions for all souls who need that little extra bit of spiritual support and validation! ✨

Hello all you Wholistic Humans!

There is a lot of misinformation floating around about how to choose eco-friendly, non-toxic grooming products for pets. Even "holistic" groomers are a bit in the dark, so I've decided to temporarily offer this FREE resource for pet parents and pet groomers on how to properly choose non-toxic, holistic grooming products.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rfTnREbIqgTuwWiL-4-TnczWYxCuY6OPV__CpiZltSA/edit?usp=drivesdk

Take advantage of this opportunity while you can, as this information will be offered as a PAID document / mini course in the near future.

We believe that reliable, up-to-date grooming education should be affordable and easily accessible to everyone. Feel free to do your own research on each ingredient if you're a bit of a skeptic.

Happy Learning! 🧼🫧🐩🐾

Guideline for Selecting Wholistic Grooming Products This information focuses on products for canines, but a lot of this information can also be applied to other companion animals. When we refer to labeling requirements, we are referring to the policies set in the United States of America, but ...
