How do we best help our pets achieve optimal health?

We keep learning!

I've been reflecting on how I was blessed to be able to share my knowledge on Leaky Gut & Detox in Pets with an amazing group of veterinarians at the Veterinary Professional Series in Wisconsin that was put together by .

Seeing many of my colleagues eager to learn more about using nutrition and herbal remedies to best support their patients just lit my heart on fire!

Thank you Standard Process for trusting me to share my knowledge and am excited for the growth in our veterinary community, with both pet parents and veterinarians, who want to know more so they can do best for their pets💕

Next up...reconnecting with more vets and pet parents in 2025 to help share a different way of approaching health! ❤️‍🔥🥰

🩺 Is Your Pet Suffering from Acid Reflux? Here’s What You Need to Know!

✨ Many pets are stuck in a cycle of reflux, discomfort, and constant flare-ups.

You might notice:
🐶 Vomiting bile
🐱 Licking lips excessively
🥴 Hunched posture or whining after meals
🌱 Eating grass or dirt for relief

These symptoms don’t just happen—they stem from deeper gut imbalances that need more than just medications like Prilosec to fix.

👉 In my latest YouTube video, I share the hidden cause behind acid reflux in pets and how you can help heal their gut naturally. It’s time to stop treating symptoms and start addressing the root cause.

I hear this all the time...⁠

My pet seems fine.⁠

I've always fed them this food and they lived to be 15 years old.⁠

Or I don't need to add a supplement since they're not showing a symptom.⁠

My husband also seemed fine.⁠

So did Finn.⁠

So did my two cats, Stanley and Callie.⁠

Until they weren't.⁠

Disease doesn't show up on the outside as symptoms until the inflammation and cellular dysfunction has progressed to a point in the body where it's now sounding the alarm.⁠

You don't want to wait until you see symptoms, because it may be too late.⁠

For my husband, it was ulcerative colitis.⁠

For Finn, it was seizures that were a result of a brain tumor.⁠

For our cats, it was aggressive GI lymphoma.⁠

I've learned quite a bit on this crazy journey, and the biggest takeaway is do the things now to avoid disease later.⁠

Once you get into a routine and make it a habit, I promise it gets easier.⁠

Your health and your pet's health will thank you with less expenses, less vet visits and most importantly a longer life and less worry and guilt later on.⁠

Don't wait...take one small step today to support you and your fur family's health.

✨ “Only YOU can change your life—nobody else can do it for you.” ✨⁠

My soul dog, Finn, was given just one week to live when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor that was causing seizures. ⁠

Conventional medicine told us there was nothing left to do. But deep down, I knew there had to be another way. 🌟💔⁠

I chose to take control and explore a different approach. ⁠

Through a combination of holistic care, food therapy, and a lot of love, we gave Finn another year of incredible quality of life. 🐾❤️ ⁠

He showed me that when you reclaim your power and trust the process, miracles can happen.⁠

So today, I’m sharing this reminder: the power to change your life, and your pet’s health, lies within YOU. ⁠

Don’t give that power away. 🌱✨⁠

That doesn’t mean you have to do it alone. ⁠

Finn taught me the importance of seeking the right support, and that’s why I’m here to guide you and your pet on their healing journey.⁠

Here are three ways to start taking control today:⁠
1️⃣ Focus on what’s within your power to change.⁠
2️⃣ Look for mentors and tools that align with your values.⁠
3️⃣ Commit to one small step, like improving your pet's diet or seeking a natural remedy.⁠

You can make a difference, just like I did with Finn. Let’s take that step together. ❤️⁠

Drop in the comments what one thing you're going to commit to so that I can cheer you on!

🍏 Nutrient-Rich Diets = Happy Skin & Tummies!

🐶 What your pet eats impacts more than just their belly.

A well-balanced diet nourishes the gut, supports a shiny coat, and keeps their immune system strong.

How do you know what's the best diet though to support optimal gut health? 🥦

If this sounds like you and your pet, you're going to find our latest YouTube video very helpful.⁠

By following our 4 R's, you'll be able to get to the root cause of the issue much faster and help your pet feel so much better.⁠

Kiwi's always by my side...watching, observing, listening.

She's my watch "dog" in the house.

Why is this important?

Because if I'm not managing my emotional health and stress levels well, she will be the first to let me know.

How does this show up in Kiwi?

She'll segregate herself from me first.

Next, I see more lip licking...like she's experiencing acid reflux.

Then she will vomit more and not seem to tolerate her food.

What would I do as my past self?

I'd reach for my slippery elm tincture from , add in a few drops of my CBD from , and add in some vitamin B12 from .

Here's the thing: I still do this, but what do I now do differently rather than just reaching for something to give?

I journal.

I reflect.

I sit with my feelings to see where they are coming from and what needs to be let go.

And I make sure that I'm taking care of myself with getting outside for my daily walk and fresh air, moving my body with running and shutting down work at a decent hour.

I can't pour from an empty cup and neither can you.

Do you have a pet that's trying to tell you something?

Emotional health is key to optimal health, especially with gut health issues.

If you're feeling stuck and alone with how to do this and want to learn more and apply a true holistic approach to healing for your entire fur family, schedule a call to learn more about our Healthy Holistic Pet for Life Blueprint program.

As your mentor, we figure out where the layers of resistance may be coming up for your pet healing gut health issues. Together is where true healing is. This is why our pets are so wise, when we listen to the messages they are trying to send us.

✨ Harry’s Healing Journey ✨

When Alison reached out to us, she was desperate to help her cat Harry, who was suffering from severe itching and skin and immune health issues that just wouldn’t go away. 😿

After months of trying all sorts of things that only seemed to treat the symptoms, Allison knew there had to be a better way to truly heal Harry without creating further imbalances.

That’s when they joined our Healthy Holistic Pet for Life Blueprint program.

🌿 By digging deep into the root cause, we uncovered hidden imbalances in Harry’s gut and immune system. Through personalized food therapy, detoxification, and supportive natural supplements, we’ve been able to restore Harry’s health from the inside out—without relying on medications that would only mask the problem.

Now, Harry’s skin is healthier than ever, and he’s back to living his best life with Alison! 💚

If you’re tired of chasing symptoms and ready to get to the root cause of your pet’s health issues, let’s chat!

💾Save this post for easy ways to support your dogs and cats.⁠

Sometimes we overthink things when a small simple step can help our pets feel great.⁠

Here are just a few simple ways to get you started with your pets' diets this week:⁠

👉️Check your pet food and supplement labels making sure there is no carrageenan (for canned diets), ethoxyquin, artificial colors or flavors, titanium dioxide, and animal digest to help lower the amount of inflammatory ingredients going into your pet.⁠

🍗Research which pet food companies you could use that are less processed if you're currently still using a kibble diet. You may be surprised that the cost of the food is actually within your budget, especially when you take into account that there will be less vet bills over the long-term.⁠

✨If you need guidance, make sure to get our free pet food guide here: https://thenaturalpetdoctor.com/shop/simple-guide-to-improving-your-pets-food/

🥛Use whole food toppers to increase the nutrient value of the food. Great options include:⁠
✔️Sardines⁠
✔️Blueberries⁠
✔️Pomegranate seeds⁠
✔️Eggs⁠
✔️Broccoli sprouts⁠
✔️Lightly cooked leafy greens and veggies like broccoli⁠

These are just a few ideas to get you started.⁠

Are you frustrated with your pet's gut health issues?

Are you looking to find a solution to your pet's health issues but are not sure what the root causes are or how to fix them?

Have you tried various supplements, seen numerous veterinarians and still haven’t found a solution?

Dangerous environmental toxins that suppress our immune systems are often overlooked as a contributing factor, along with other issues like poor nutrition and stress.

If you’ve been feeling discouraged and don’t know where to turn for your pet's health...

Revitalizing your pet's health is possible when you are following proven step-by-step strategies and are willing to do the work.

🐾 Unlocking the Secret to Pet Gut Health: Finding the Root Cause! 🐾⁠

Ever wonder why common pet issues keep recurring? ⁠

It's often because we're treating symptoms, not the actual root cause. 🧩⁠

1️⃣ Gut Health/Nutrition: Proper nutrition is essential for a healthy gut and overall well-being.⁠
2️⃣ Emotional Health: Emotional balance leads to a happier, healthier pet.⁠
3️⃣ Immune Health: Boosting immunity to fight off illness more effectively but also removing resistance to healing.⁠
4️⃣ Environmental Health: A toxin-free environment along with supporting detox pathways supports optimal health.⁠
5️⃣ Physical Health: Regular exercise and care go a long way for emotional health but also for supporting the lymphatic system.⁠

By incorporating these five pillars into our work at The Natural Pet Doctor, we strive to find and treat the root causes of your pet's health challenges, leading to long-lasting wellness. 🌟⁠

Have you gotten caught up in "fixing" your pet or even fixing yourself? ⁠

You might be thinking I'm a bit crazy by that statement, but it's something that I've come to realize through the years that I was looking at healing wrong. ⁠

My journey started a decade ago with my husband being diagnosed with an autoimmune condition and being obsessed with fixing him. ⁠

And then my pets developed cancer, and I thought I had to fix them. ⁠

But with our German Shepherd, Finn's brain tumor, the message started shifting. ⁠

It was more about being present with Finn and spending time with him to do the things he loved, like going for walks, being out in nature, and just enjoying the summer breeze on a beautiful afternoon. ⁠

What I've realized is that we get caught up in the energy of having to fix the issue when our pets are telling us something different. ⁠

Moki and Kiwi this morning were telling me to sit and be present. ⁠

To be aware of the feelings I was feeling. ⁠

To journal and read the chapter in my book that I wanted to read. ⁠

Now cats are good at helping us. We even have a term called feline paralysis. ⁠

Has anyone else experienced this lol? ⁠

But there's more to this message many of our pets are trying to tell us. We just may not be listening to it. ⁠

So my question for you to start the week is, what are your pets trying to tell you? ⁠

Who are you supposed to become through this healing journey? ⁠

This message may not resonate with where you're at right now, but I'd love to hear what's coming up for you in the comments💕

My Story

I am a small animal veterinarian who developed a passion for natural medicine while I was living in New Zealand. My vet career was lucky enough to begin in the beautiful country of New Zealand. I was able to see how living off the land by growing our own vegetables and raising our own animals was the way to live the healthiest versions of ourselves. My pets were lucky to have lots of open space to run around in, and we were always at the beach or the river.

When we moved back to the States five years ago, my husband unfortunately developed an autoimmune disease. As we researched natural medicine options for him to avoid the horrible side effects of the treatment options his doctors were providing him, I realized that I was doing a disservice to my animal patients by not offering these holistic options to them. I began down the integrative medicine route, and I have never been happier. Through nutrition, acupuncture, herbal medicine, essential oils, and supplements, every animal can achieve optimal health or feel their best even when they have a chronic illness or disease like cancer. I currently have my certification in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, and I am continuously learning about the other natural modalities and growing my knowledge base every day!

​I started this business to provide pet owners with more resources for natural medicine advice and care, because we need to increase awareness of how amazing natural medicine truly is! My mission is to ensure that all pet parents have access to herbal medicine, supplementation and nutritional advice throughout their pet's lifetime. One of my greatest joys is the opportunity to collaborate with both pet parents and other veterinary professionals to ensure access to all available integrative options for pet health care.

I offer house consultations in the Northern Colorado area for acupuncture for dogs and cats, herbal medicine consultations and nutritional plans that work for you and your beloved dogs and cats. If you’re not sure how integrating holistic medicine looks for your pets, give us a call to find out how we can partner together today!
