What energy are you stepping into the new week with? ⁠

What beliefs are you bringing with you? ⁠

What are you letting go and leaving behind? ⁠

Many of us, including myself, are walking around with thoughts and beliefs that are not helping or allowing us to heal ourselves or our pets. ⁠

My inner critic can be loud at times. ⁠

She'll shout...you're not good enough, you don't know enough, who are you to share these things with the world, are you sure you're right...and the list can go on at times. ⁠

I've learned though to acknowledge her when she shows up and recognize that she's my scared inner child. Scared of being seen, scared of making a mistake or doing something wrong. ⁠

Life isn't easy, and no one gives you an instruction manual - well I didn't receive one! ⁠

Remember to give yourself a hug, be kind to yourself and just become aware of what you might be saying to yourself. ⁠

I see every day my clients doing an amazing job taking care of their pets, being an amazing advocate for their pets but still feel like they are not doing enough at times. ⁠

I see you, I'm with you and you are doing amazing and some days, it's just dang hard. ⁠

Hang in there this week. There's lots of crazy energy in the world and energetically. ⁠

Let me know in the comments what you're going to leave behind that's not serving you on this healing journey so I can send you love and energy!💖

Welcome to all of our new followers! ⁠ ⁠

Here's a little about who I am. ⁠ ⁠

I'm Dr. Katie Woodley, an expert holistic veterinarian, who's on a mission to make sure pet parents like you have treatment options for their pets. ⁠ ⁠

However, my passion for holistic medicine started long before The Natural Pet Doctor became an entity. ⁠ ⁠

My veterinary career started in the beautiful country of New Zealand. I was blessed to go to veterinary school in New Zealand and then fell in love with a Kiwi, no not the bird, which is why I stayed for a few more years to begin my veterinary career. ⁠ ⁠

The beautiful countryside, ocean, and mountains were a dream come true, and this is when I had my first taste for a more holistic lifestyle living in the country. However, I missed my family back home and we came back to continue life in Colorado. ⁠ ⁠

Six months after moving back, our lives changed. My husband developed an autoimmune disease, and this solidified my journey into holistic medicine. ⁠ ⁠

Doctor after doctor told us that food didn't matter, herbs wouldn't work and that he'd have to be on strong immuno-suppressive drugs for life, but as we continued to research on our own, we found that other people were having success with a more holistic lifestyle.

Maybe you've been there with yourself or your pets? ⁠ ⁠

I started to wonder why I wasn't doing this for my patients. We weren't taught this type of medicine in veterinary school.

However, I knew there had to be another way. ⁠ ⁠

As I delved deeper into researching holistic medicine for pets, I found that there was another way, and it provided a lot more options than just approaching health from a conventional perspective. ⁠ ⁠

Becoming certified in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine was a game-changer in helping pets feel their best. I integrate conventional medicine with a holistic approach to achieve better patient outcomes. ⁠ ⁠

You have the power to help your pet thrive, and I'm so excited for you to be here and be a part of our incredible community. ⁠ ⁠

Together we will create the change that is needed to help our pets thrive naturally. ⁠ ⁠

Is Your Pet’s Diarrhea a Bile Acid Problem? 💩🤔

You’ve tried every food, probiotic, and supplement… but the diarrhea keeps coming back.

The culprit? Dysregulated bile acids.

🐶 Bile acids help digest fats—but when they’re off balance, they can trigger:
❌ Chronic diarrhea
❌ Yellow, greasy stools
❌ Gut inflammation & dysbiosis

Here’s how to get their gut back on track:
✅ Low-fat, high-fiber diet (think lean proteins + pumpkin or psyllium)
✅ Bile acid binders (activated charcoal)
✅ Liver support (milk thistle + phosphatidylcholine)
✅ Microbiome reset (S. boulardii + gut-healing prebiotics)

🔎 If your pet has bile acid diarrhea, IBD, or chronic gut issues, they need a deeper approach than just switching foods. That’s exactly what we do inside the Healthy Holistic Pet for Life Blueprint.

The world is waking up. 🌍🔥

We’re at a turning point where people are starting to see the cracks in the system - whether it’s in health, government, or the way we treat each other.

But here’s the thing: change doesn’t happen just because we notice something is wrong.

It happens when people are brave enough to speak up and do something about it.

I’ve spent years watching hypocrisy play out in medicine.
👩‍⚕️ We’re told to trust science—until that science questions the system.
🐾 We’re told food doesn’t impact health—while chronic disease skyrockets.
💊 We’re told to take another pill, another shot, another quick fix—while the root cause is ignored.

And when we dare to ask why - we’re labeled as “controversial.”

This isn’t just happening in veterinary medicine. It’s happening everywhere.
👉 We preach about human rights, yet turn a blind eye to suffering that doesn’t fit a political agenda.
👉 We claim to care about justice, yet let corporations and governments poison our food, water, and medicine.
👉 We say we want truth, yet attack those who challenge the official narrative.

It’s hypocrisy. And I refuse to be a part of it.

If you’re feeling uncomfortable right now - good. That means something inside you is waking up.

And if you're ready to be the change you wish to see in the world, drop a 🔥 in the comments

📢 Did you know? 80% of chronic skin & digestive issues in pets stem from poor gut health.

🚨 Sign to watch for: Chronic itching, ear infections, diarrhea, or inconsistent p**p.

🐾 The gut is the command center for your pet’s immune system. If it’s out of balance, you’ll see flare-ups—itching, licking, red skin, soft stool, or bad breath.

💡 What to do next: Stop the cycle of meds & temporary fixes.

Gut healing starts with finding the root cause.

They told me he had one week to live.

When my German Shepherd, Finn, was diagnosed with a brain tumor, the neurologist told me there was nothing else we could do. He wasn’t responding to seizure meds. His brain was inflamed. The prognosis was grim.

But this time, I had more tools in my toolbox.

I changed his food.
I used Chinese & Western herbs.
I did acupuncture to support his nervous system.

And instead of one week… Finn had another full year of life. 💛

That year taught me more than I ever imagined. It solidified everything I had been learning about holistic medicine, root cause healing, and truly supporting the body.

✨ This experience transformed how I help pets today.

🚨 Does this sound familiar? 🚨

➡️ Your pet has chronic gut issues, allergies, or recurring health problems
➡️ You’ve tried meds, prescription diets, supplements—but nothing works
➡️ Your vet says “This is just how it is” (but you know something is off)
➡️ You feel stuck, frustrated, and out of options

I get it—because I’ve been there.

First with my husband’s health… then with my own soul dog, Finn.

I was told food didn’t matter. That we’d just have to manage symptoms forever. But I refused to accept that.

💡 That journey led me to holistic medicine, and now I help pet parents find the answers I once desperately searched for.

What is a moment that you were proud of?

I can’t believe this was only a week ago!

Yesterday, I received the official race photo from crossing the finish line at the Sedona 1/2 Marathon.

It was the most challenging race I’ve experience and I was proud of my grit and resilience through the whole race.

It reminded me of health journeys - where it’s all about the process, having patience and definitely a lot of perseverance.

Without training and preparing, I wouldn’t have been able to handle the hills, when my toes started cramping and when I got a severe side stitch with 2 miles left.

However, I knew I was strong enough to get to the finish line, and I did!

I usually hate sharing photos of myself, but I’m really proud of this one and also they caught the beautiful scenery too!

I’d love to hear from you about something you’re proud of yourself for with sticking through with your process, perseverance and patience!❤️

Meet Mikan, the sweetest cat who had been struggling with throwing up and a poor appetite. ⁠

After joining our Healthy Holistic Pet Blueprint program, she's a brand-new kitty! 😻✨⁠

Her mom, Misaki, shared this amazing update:⁠

"Mikan continues to have a very healthy appetite since we switched to different digestive enzymes and changed her herbs. It's been 3 weeks since her last vomit, and she's more playful than ever. She's even devouring green-lipped mussels now, something she used to turn away from!"⁠

🥳 We’re beyond thrilled to see Mikan thriving and living her best life!⁠

If your cat or dog is dealing with gut health issues like vomiting, poor appetite, or anything that just seems "off," you're not alone—and there's hope.⁠

🥩 Processed pet food might be harming your pet’s gut! 🥩⁠

Did you know that ultra-processed kibble and canned foods can increase your pet’s risk of chronic enteropathy (aka gut inflammation) and leaky gut? ⁠

Studies show that:⁠
❌ High-heat processing destroys gut-supporting nutrients.⁠
❌ Synthetic additives irritate the GI lining.⁠
❌ Pets fed ultra-processed diets are more likely to develop IBD.⁠

The good news? ⁠

There are simple, natural ways to improve gut health—and I’m sharing them in my latest video.⁠

Did you know that broccoli sprouts are one of the best anti-cancer foods you can use?⁠

Broccoli sprouts are the most potent natural source of sulforaphane glucosinolate, a natural compound found in broccoli and other cruciferous plants that supports the body's antioxidant functions.⁠

And the best part?⁠

They are super easy to make, and can make a great addition to your dog's food bowl.⁠

I love making these for my own salads and you can toss some into your pet's food bowl every night.⁠

You can try them with your cats, but they may not eat them due to their slightly spicy, bitter taste. But it's worth a try mixing it into their food.⁠

🐾 What's in Your Pet's Food Bowl? Understanding Feed Grade vs. Food Grade 🐾⁠

Hey there, fellow pet parents and animal lovers! 🐶🐱 ⁠

Dr. Katie Woodley here, and today I want to dive into an essential topic—Feed Grade vs. Food Grade pet food.⁠

What's the Difference? 🤷‍♀️⁠

Feed Grade: Feed grade ingredients are those that are considered safe for animal consumption but may not meet the standards for human consumption. These ingredients can contain "4-D" meats—animals that are dead, dying, diseased, or disabled—yikes!⁠

Food Grade: This refers to pet food that meets the same quality and safety standards required for human food. Meaning, the ingredients are higher quality and held to a higher standard.⁠

Why Does It Matter? 🌿🥩⁠

Nutrient Absorption: Higher quality ingredients are easier for your pets to digest, and they absorb more nutrients, leading to better overall health.⁠

Reduced Allergies: Many pets have allergies to low-quality proteins or additives commonly found in feed-grade foods.⁠

Gut Health: Good quality food ensures better gut health, which is the cornerstone to a balanced, happy life for your pet.⁠

Ethical and Sustainable: Often, food-grade products are sourced more responsibly.⁠

The Holistic Approach 🍀⁠

As someone who focuses on gut health and holistic treatments, I can't stress enough the importance of good nutrition. ⁠

With appropriate testing and food therapy, you can ensure that you're taking a proactive approach to your pet's wellness.⁠

What does this picture have to do with pet health?!⁠

The journey to exploring what true health means has really opened my eyes to many areas I didn't think had anything to do with health. ⁠

I've been blessed with so many friends in this space that have helped open my mind, soul, and physical eyes to the beautiful words and messages that are guiding me. ⁠

This picture was taken in one of my favorite places on this planet. We've been to Costa Rica about eight times now, so I feel very blessed, but I never see hawks or eagles. ⁠

Why is that interesting? ⁠

Over the past few years, I've noticed that these creatures appear when I'm making decisions or figuring out where to move or adjust things in my life. ⁠

Hawks are my spirit animal. ⁠

This past trip, they were everywhere! ⁠

And I've never felt so much peace and serenity while we were away. ⁠

Now, going back to my original question...what does this have to do with pet health? ⁠

Nothing and everything. ⁠

It's a reminder to take a deep breath, slow down, and connect to the beauty (usually your pet) right in front of you. ⁠

This is what true health is. To be ok with the good, the bad, and the ugly. ⁠

Life is not easy. ⁠

Disease is hard. ⁠

And it's ok to just embrace that it sucks sometimes and we aren't here to fix all the things. ⁠

This message will be difficult for many, and I find difficulty with it on many days when I fall into my previous patterns of trying to fix everything. ⁠

Remember to give yourself grace. Do the best that you can and enjoy the beauty that is still present even if you're dealing with hard things. ⁠

I'm sending you love💖

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!
