The Naturopathic Vet

The Naturopathic Vet I look beyond symptoms to uncover deeper imbalances and root causes.

🐶I offer a holistic approach combining homeopathy, nutrition, and natural therapies to help your pet thrive.🐱
Rather than just treating symptoms, I take a whole-animal approach.

Two cats. One household loss.
And suddenly, everything changed. 🐾💔

After another cat in the family passed away, the balance between two cats shifted dramatically. Their fights became so severe that they needed repeated vet visits, stitches, and surgery. Their cat parent felt she had run out of options.

When she reached out to me, I didn’t look at this as “just a behaviour problem.”
Because behaviour is so often a message. 🌿

In cases like this, I want to understand the whole picture:
✨ personality
✨ emotional dynamics
✨ history
✨ environment
✨ the way each animal responds to stress

And that mattered here, because these two cats did not need the same support. Each one needed an individual approach based on who they were as a whole being.

What touched me most is that the shift wasn’t only in the fighting.
Their cat parent later shared that there was no more fighting, and that one of the cats, who had been much more aloof before, became far softer, more affectionate, slept indoors again, and started enjoying cuddles.

To me, this case is such a beautiful reminder that:
💚 behaviour is rarely “just behaviour”
💚 conflict often has deeper roots
💚 when we truly listen, we can begin to support the animal in a more meaningful way

I never promise healing.
But I do promise to look deeply, listen carefully, and do my very best to help your pet move back toward balance and vitality. 🌿

If your pet’s behaviour has changed suddenly and you feel there may be more going on beneath the surface, feel free to message me.

I’d be happy to help you explore whether individual naturopathic support could be the right next step. 🐾✨

A dog licking one spot for months is rarely “just a habit.” 🐾

In today’s case (“Milo”), the symptom had been going on for over 6 months. Instead of only trying to stop the licking, we zoomed out and looked for what might be keeping the body stuck... from food quality 🍽️ to gut/skin support 🌿 to lifestyle factors. 🌞

In my consultations, we don’t guess. We map:
• the timeline + patterns 🗓️
• diet quality (labels + ingredients) 🥣
• gut/skin support options ✨
• comfort + calm supports & daily routines 🌿
…and you leave with a clear step-by-step plan (plus follow-up support) 📍

Does your dog constantly lick or bite their paws? 🐾
I know how helpless that can feel, especially when it keeps happening over and over again.

Here’s a gentle 2-step “first aid” routine I used to help Skippy calm down:

1) Paw soak (after walks)
Mix equal parts apple cider vinegar + water and wash/soak your dog’s paws for 5 minutes.

2) Soothe
Before bedtime massage a small amount of coconut oil into the paws.

✨ Small steps can make a big difference in comfort…and they’re simple enough to try today.

If you want more natural remedies for itching (and a clear, calm plan for what to try next), my eBook “Stop Your Dog’s Itching Naturally” is made for you.

Sometimes the most important questions are the ones people don’t always ask out loud.

If you’re considering working with me (or you’re simply curious ) these are some questions you might want to ask me:

✨ Am I anti-conventional medicine?
✨ How do I know you’ll recommend what’s right for my pet, not what’s trendy?
✨ Is this evidence-based… or just “nice vibes”?
✨ Will you judge me if I use meds, vaccinate, feed kibble, or do things differently?
✨ Is this going to be expensive and overwhelming?
✨ Why does your approach take longer, and is it worth it?
✨ What makes your work different from everyone else who says “holistic”?
✨ And yes… why do you charge so much?

I work with pet parents who’ve often been through a lot already, months (sometimes years) of flare-ups, appointments, stress, and the feeling of “we’ve tried everything.”

So I want you to know this: you don’t need perfect choices. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a clear next step, and a plan that feels doable in real life.

And I’ll always prefer honesty over hype, clarity over overwhelm, and support over pressure.

Which question is on the tip of your tongue? What have you always wanted to ask about my business?

🌟 When the heart doesn’t just cope... but actually improves 🌟

Joey’s latest heart scan tells a powerful story. In just six months, measurable changes were seen, not simply stability, but improvement.

Many veterinarians are taught that MMVD is strictly progressive and irreversible. Yet cases like Joey’s show that the heart can respond, adapt, and become more efficient again when the body is properly supported.

By reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, easing the workload on the heart, and supporting overall metabolic balance through fresh whole-food nutrition, targeted supplements, herbs, and homeopathic remedies, meaningful change can be possible.

✨ If your dog or cat is living with a chronic condition, please know there is so much we can explore on the natural side.

💌 Get in touch if you’d like support... nutritional therapy and naturopathy have a great deal to offer, and you don’t have to navigate this alone. 🐾💚

Portosystemic shunts (PSS) are one of those diagnoses that sound frightening, and often come with confusing symptoms.

Because when the liver can’t filter toxins properly, the signs don’t always look like “liver disease.”
They often look neurological, digestive, or behavioural, especially after meals.

The good news? 🌿
With the right combination of veterinary care, nutrition, routine, and whole-body support, many dogs with PSS can remain stable and enjoy a good quality of life.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach... and that’s where personalised guidance matters.

💚 If you’d like help creating a tailored plan for your dog, comment “PSS” below or message me.

🌟 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. 🌱

💚 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. 🌸
