🥩 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.⁠

🚨 Why are more pets struggling with gut issues than ever before? 🚨⁠

From chronic diarrhea and acid reflux to IBD, pet gut health problems are on the rise—and most pet parents don’t realize the hidden triggers causing them.⁠

In my latest YouTube video, I break down:⁠
🔹 The surprising impact of processed pet food 🥩⁠

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💖

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. ❤️⁠

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. 😿

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!
