🌟 When steady healing brings quiet relief… 🌟

Watching a senior cat settle back into herself... calmer, brighter, more comfortable... is deeply moving. 🌿🐾

Mini’s journey has been gentle, gradual, and rooted in listening closely to what her body needs.

💬 What her mum shared recently:
“I wanted to check in and let you know that Mini is doing very well.
We've only given her Miralax once in the last month, just yesterday actually, and I don't think it was needed in the end.
Over the past two weeks since Christmas, we've also given Arsenicum sparingly, whereas before she seemed more nauseous. She's very alert and quite affectionate. She seems like herself and I barely see any hint of that dip anymore. I'm just so pleased.
I can't thank you enough for all your support. I'm not sure where I would be without you.”

✨ These quieter moments of healing, less medication, more vitality, more ease are often the most meaningful.

When we support the body gently and consistently, balance can slowly return. 💚🐾

🚫 MYTH: “If vets sell it, it must be healthy.”

A lot of pet parents believe this...and it can lead to choices that aren’t actually best for your pet.

Truth:
Just because a food is sold in a clinic doesn’t automatically mean it’s the healthiest option for every dog or cat. “Vet-approved” isn’t a blanket guarantee.

Before you trust the label, ask these 4 questions: 1. What’s the primary protein and how processed is it?

2. What’s the food mainly made of after the first ingredient?

3. Is it relying on flavor enhancers to increase intake?

4. Does it match your pet’s age, weight, symptoms, and activity level?

📌 A food can be “fine” and still not be optimal.

👇 If you want to learn more about nutrition, ask your questions in the comments.
To help you properly, include: species + age + current food + biggest issue (itching, GI, weight, energy).

🌿 When support means more than just protocols 🌿

Lilly was meant to be put to sleep months ago.
Instead, we’ve been walking this difficult path together... step by step, with patience, honesty, and care.

💬 What Clients Say:
"I have to thank you, Hanka, for your emotional support too. You don't only advise me on Lilly's health needs but you give me emotional support and reassurance when I'm stressing about things, which helps us both enormously.”

✨ Chronic illness doesn’t just affect the dog, it affects the whole family.
Being there with calm guidance, reassurance, and practical support is just as important as any treatment plan. 🐾💚

I love what I do. 💫🐾

Does your dog’s skin keep flaring… even though you’ve tried everything? 🐶💔

Recurring bald patches, crusty skin, itching that settles for a while and then returns ,often in a different place, can be incredibly frustrating.
And if antibiotics or steroids only help while your dog is on them, it’s natural to feel stuck. 😔

When I see cases like this, I don’t see a difficult dog or a failing owner.
I see a body under ongoing strain... doing its best to cope. 🧩🐾

Very often, there’s more than one layer involved:
✨ chronic inflammation
✨ gut imbalance
✨ immune overload
✨ long-standing joint pain or old injuries
✨ a weakened skin barrier

These pieces don’t exist on their own.
When the system is overloaded, the skin is often the place where the body speaks first. 🌿

That’s why quick fixes can bring short-term relief, but don’t always last.
And why so many caring dog parents feel like they’re going in circles, despite doing everything right. 💚

A whole-dog approach isn’t about adding more treatments.
It’s about understanding what’s driving the problem in your dog, and supporting the body gently, in the right order. 🌱

❄️ Cold noses, warm hearts 💚
Winter invites us to slow down, create warmth, and support our pets a little more intentionally.

Small, mindful choices can make a big difference during the colder months, from what goes into the bowl 🍲, to how calm and enriched their days feel 🧸✨.

I always remind my clients:
🌿 wellness isn’t about perfection
🌿 it’s about gentle, consistent support
🌿 and listening to what your pet truly needs

Here’s to a winter filled with coziness, balance, and many quiet moments together. 🐶🐱🤍

How do you support your dog or cat during winter? I’d love to hear. 💬

💬 “I was feeling absolutely desperate for help when I went searching for a holistic vet…”

These are Lorna’s real words about her dog Quigley, who has struggled with his health for 4 of his 5 years.
After a giardia infection, strong medication and finally bladder stones (Cystinuria), she had tried many conventional and holistic vets – and was still searching for real, lasting help.

Here’s part of what she shared after our work together:

“My dog, Quigley, has been struggling with his health for 4 of his 5 years of life.
I went in search of someone who could help me heal Quigley's gut troubles - as well as devise an appropriate fresh food diet for a dog with Cystinuria (not an easy task). Hanka was the lady!
Following Hanka's advice, and working with her to devise the perfect fresh food diet for Quigley has led him to a total health turnaround.
The healing of his gut is nothing short of miraculous (I can still barely believe that it's true).
I would highly recommend Hanka to anyone who wants advice and support to heal their pet naturally - no matter what challenge you're faced with.
Both Quigley and I are immensly grateful. Lorna & Quigley😍”

✨ Stories like Quigley’s remind me how powerful it can be when we support the body gently, respect the individual animal, and don’t give up on them – even when the road is long. 🌿

🐾If your pet is struggling with chronic health issues and you feel lost or overwhelmed, you’re not alone. You’re welcome to reach out and we’ll explore gentle, natural options together. 🌿

💚 5 Silent Signs Your Pet’s Gut Is Crying for Help 🦠

Is your pet’s body whispering for help , but you can’t quite put your finger on it? 🤔💭

Sometimes, the signs of imbalance aren’t loud. They’re quiet, repetitive, and easy to overlook... until your pet’s body starts to shout.

🌿 Your pet’s gut is more than a digestion machine.
It’s the core of their health, where:
💪 70% of the immune system lives
🌸 Nutrients are absorbed
🧠 Emotional balance begins

When the gut struggles, you might see:
1️⃣ Recurring itchy skin or hotspots
2️⃣ Bad breath or “doggy smell”
3️⃣ Picky eating or changing appetite
4️⃣ Mood swings, anxiety or low energy
5️⃣ Repeated ear infections

Each one is your pet’s way of saying:
“Something inside me needs balance.” ✨

🌿Healing begins when we stop suppressing symptoms and start listening to what the body is trying to say.

💫 You don’t need to guess or Google your way through this.
With the right guidance and gentle natural support, your pet’s body can return to balance... one step at a time. 💚

🐾 If your pet shows one or more of these signs, DM me the word “GUT” or email me your pet's story.📨

I’ll help you understand what might be happening beneath the surface and share the first steps toward natural healing. 🌸

🌟 When an 18-year-old cat starts acting like a kitten again... 🌟

This beautiful senior lady has chronic kidney disease, yet just hours after her homeopathic remedy, something magical happened. 🌿🐾

"4 hours after Arsenicum 200c, she was running around, purring, tail up. Kitten vibes again! 🐾
She hasn’t had this energy or essence for a long while.
She seems like her old self. I’m floored!
Thank you, dear Hanka."

✨ Seeing vitality return to our senior animals is one of the most heartwarming parts of my work.

When the body is supported gently and naturally, even long-standing conditions can make space for light, joy, and life again. 💚

✨ Something is changing.
Veterinary medicine is beginning to take the power of nature seriously.

The Irish Farmers Journal featured a full article on how homeopathy and herbal remedies can play a critical role in animal health.
A small step, but a big signal. 💚

Even in Ireland, more and more voices are saying:
it’s not either–or, it’s both–and.

🧠 Science and 🌿 Nature
can (and should) work together to build long-term vitality for our animals.

Because when we support the body’s natural balance,
we don’t have to fight disease, we nurture health.

True healing begins with listening...
to the body, to nature, and to the bond we share with our animals. 🤍
