I have a new blog post on a difficult topic: In home pet hospice and end of life care. 💔 It is a difficult topic but none of us want to see our animals suffer. In home hospice care can improve their quality of life when implemented at the right time.

Today I am going post about a difficult topic: Pet Hospice and End of Life Care. What does in home pet hospice look like? I give a brief description below. Pet hospice focuses on comfort care and quality of life when a cure isn’t possible (whether due to the condition, finances or the difficulty o...

Entering 2025 means FIREWORKS! While fireworks can be fun for the family, they are not always fun for our furry family.

There are lots of ways to ensure safety for your pet. Pets are most likely to run off during firework panic so creating a safe space for them indoors is best. Some of these guys also need some extra help with either calming supplements or pharmaceuticals. Make sure you have what you need on hand as none of these things work as well if you don't give them before the panic sets in!

It's also a good idea to make sure all their identification is up to date with your info just in case. Have fun and stay safe!

Today is National Cook for your Pet Day! I am a huge proponent of having fresh/whole foods as part of a balanced diet for our pets. I personally homecook a portion of Priya's food every week. This week was ground turkey, sweet potatoes, a mix of veggies, pears, and eggshell. She loves it and I love doing it 🐾💕

📍Acupuncture post📍

LI-15 (Large intestine 15)

This point is in front of and slightly below the bottom part of the shoulder blade. Common uses of this point are:

🐾Shoulder pain

It is a well tolerated point except in cases of muscle spasm. Efflurage and Compression massage techniques can help relax the muscles prior to needle insertion if patient is extremely tense in this area.

How about another 🍄 post? The turkey tail mushroom. Like most functional mushrooms, they are great for the microbiome and immune system.

Their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects have been studied and this mushroom has actually been found to have mild pain relief properties!

Turkey tail mushrooms have been shown to have a protective effect on liver damage from alcohol in people. This has implications for animals that are on medications that are tough on the liver

My favorite use of this mushroom is in cancer treatment protocols as it may have the ability to help increase the survival time when used with certain cancers 🤯

The end of summer was hectic for me. The schedule changes, kids out of/starting school, extra activities, etc. All this to say I have been working hard and have some exciting 👀 announcements coming your way in the next few months!

This is also the reason I have gotten behind with my Five Element Blog posts. Catching up now! Late summer brings on the wheat harvest and leads us to our next element....EARTH. Click the link to check out the blog post on the Earth Element.

We are continuing through our 5 element journey and next on the list is EARTH. The Earth element is associated with the late summertime.EARTH I’ve always loved the imagery surrounding the Earth element. Think of a field of wheat ready for harvest in the late summer. Because the earth brings forth ...

To do this, we need to learn a little about Five Element Theory. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Five Element theory states that there are 5 different constit...
