Join The Dal Hub through the link in our bio ‼️

For more than 8 months now we have maintained a client list exceeding 35%, sometimes exceeding 40% Dalmatians - many of which are HUA. This condition has quickly become one of my favorites to work with. With such a lack of reliable information available to owners on managing HUA, I wanted to create resources focused on how to maintain the health of HUA dogs using the oldest medicine known to man… food, and herbs as well as advising on how best to keep track of your pet’s condition from the vet office AND home. Thus, The Dal Hub was born. This is a FREE newsletter centered around Dalmatians with a focus on HUA (still beneficial for LUA owners). Sign up for the newsletter following the link in our bio so you don’t miss another issue!

A forgotten but common cause for persistent symptoms in our pets…

In nutrition counseling we often do gentle detox protocols, owners often report noticeable positive changes in their pet’s stools, skin and coat and even behavior within 2-3 weeks. Toxin overload is not uncommon, exposure rates are far beyond what our pet’s bodies can handle on a daily basis and a lot of them get stored in the body.

Detox processes are never the first thing we tackle as we want to make sure that the body is in a better state to handle detox and that we’ve identified and removed some of the culprits before tackling this. I highly recommend working with a professional to develop a detox schedule for your pet and monitor their progress, detox can temporarily cause symptoms in pets to worsen and should be done gently over a period of weeks.

Congee Recipe for IBD Flare-Ups 🐶

The owner commented prior to this regime that her dogs IBD flare-ups were much worse and would last for weeks, the congee and his normal GI regime helped improve his responses and this flare-up was resolved within 3 days. If your pet has IBD, it’s extremely important to ensure they are getting ample water to avoid dehydration and working with your vet and nutritionist to make sure they are getting all of the micronutrients they need, IBD pets are at risk for malabsorption and tend to have b vitamin deficiencies when not monitored.

Pet Food & Environmental Intolerance Kits Overall I think they are an incredible resource and can save not only a lot of time, but a lot of irritation for pets during the elimination diet process, and a worthwhile investment, however, you still have to plan to FACT check the test after finding a base diet that works for your pet. There is a lot to tackle on the topic of food intolerances, elimination diets and tests so this just PART ONE.I would only recommend using one of these two brands at this time as I’ve seen some others that were not nearly as accurate. Drop any questions you have about elimination diets or test kits below 👇🏻••••

5 Beneficial Teas to Share with your Pets 🐶🐱

Herbal Medicine has been around for thousands of years, nowadays it often gets overlooked despite the fact that many of our conventional therapies/meds are just concentrated, synthetic versions of the real thing. I am by no means an herbalist, but there are a time and place for both and these are just some of the ones we use frequently in my nutrition counseling practice. Many of these are probably ones you already have in your cabinet, so next time you make a cup, save some for your pet too!

Cats are very sensitive and I am extremely conservative with additives for them. I would include teas for cats if we were looking to tackle a specific issue. If your pet has health conditions please always consult your pet’s health team before adding in anything new.

Diet Notes for Cats with Bladder Crystals/Stones 🐱

If there is one takeaway I wish all cat owners would get from this post it would be…. Stop feeding dry kibble. If you have been here for some time, you know that I am a huge advocate for fresh food, but if that isn’t feasible for you, look to canned then, just stay away from dry diets for cats.

Some tips…

*If your cat has high urine PH and alkaline crystals, avoid pork as a base protein, include cod into their diet rotation
*Corn Silk Tea can be used to temporarily manipulate bladder PH, lower bladder inflammation and increase urine PH and flush excess uric acid
*Cranberry supplements can be used to help prevent bacteria from attaching to the bladder wall and creating a UTI, it will also temporarily lower urine PH
*Dandelion Tea can be used to help flush excess uric acid

Easy Peesy Protocol from is one of our favorite crystal treatments and we find that owners have success with the protocol for both acidic PH and base PHs.

Checkout Jax’s nutrition journey….

I am so honored to have gotten to be apart of Jax’s health journey! I hope this can inspire those who feel like they’ve tried everything or who may be feeling lost with their own pets!

If there is one piece of advice that I could give to every pet owner - it is never to overlook the impact of nutrition in any aspect. The healing power of proper diet and food is one of the most overlooked aspects of our pets lives. It’s considered secondary and the last thing people look to when trying to help their pets. Food feed cells, we are quite literally what we eat, the body is not meant to THRIVE on a highly processed diet forever. When things go wrong in the body we look to interventions that may mitigate symptoms, and we rarely ask ourselves how to fix the problem. Illness and disease are symptoms of poor health, and nutrition is the pinnacle of our health. The fuel we feed the determines health, while there may be other genetic factors, the body is better prepared to come what may when it is fed live food with potent and abundant antioxidants, and bioavailable nutrients.

Your Seasonal Shopping List!
What is in-season can change depending on your area! Check out the website below to see what’s in-season near you!

*Remember that while dogs can benefit from these - think a paw’s worth or less at a time of veg and fruit should just be a few small pieces - cats are obligate carnivores and as such would benefit more from a meat topper-

AVOCADO MEAT IS NOT TOXIC - just the pit!

A Brief look at the importance of Gastric PH & Diet

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we are not smarter than nature. The further we get from what is natural to ourselves and our pets, the more direct and indirect consequences we experience. Nutrition is no exception, nothing we synthesize can ever be as appropriate as the food every species was intended to eat (unadulterated Whole Foods). Digestive Issues are among some of the most COMMON problems our pets face, and it’s no surprise that processed diets are at the epicenter of it.

When I work with nutrition clients we always tackle how the digestive system works and why, because once you understand those principles it’s impossible to ignore how impactful nutrition is on every system of the body, and it’s much easier to understand why these systems are struggling on conventional diets.

When I look around me, I see pet owners living full lives with jobs, family, and pets - people with needs of their own dedicating their time to bettering the lives of the animals in their care. I am impressed and awed on a daily basis by the time, love, resources and attention that goes into providing another species with the enrichment and health they deserve. I see people being pulled in a 100 different directions and stressing that they’re not doing enough and that this new year is a chance for them to DO MORE, be MORE. While I believe in having goals, I hate the stress and the implications of this holiday. I hate opening social media and seeing people giving 110% promising to give 150% all of the following year as if their worth is a direct reflection of how thinly they can stretch themselves the following year.

My wish for my clients AND all of you for your next year is that if you’re unhappy with where you are, or where your pets are that you do reach your goals, but I hope that you know that anything extra you give is impactful, and sustainable changes are the important ones. I’m proud of you all and I look forward to continuing our journeys together ♥️

In past years, I’ve pushed myself to do it all, and all of it at once. If it was a change worth making it was all or nothing, anything less wasn’t worth investing time into. Year after year I would fail to live up to those expectations I had set for myself, and I would go into extreme burnout, and feel like I had failed myself or my pets. SO IN 2025 I’M PRACTICING THE SAME THOUGHTFUL MINDSET I HAD THAT CARRIED ME THROUGH 2024 and I wish you all an impactful, progressive, happy and gradual new year! ♥️

Don’t fall for the toxic Christmas aisle this Holiday season…

I wouldn’t choose to give these treats to ANY pets, but I wouldn’t MOST DEFINITELY avoid them if I had any pets suffering from anxiety, hyperactivity, and aggression or one with any health conditions like; IBD, HUA, Pancreatitis, Epilepsy, CKD, or any forms of Liver Disease.
