For many pets, telemedicine it’s actually better care.

Telemedicine lets your dog or cat stay at home, where they feel safest, while still receiving professional guidance and holistic care.

Telemedicine allows:
✔️ Less stress for your pet
✔️ More time for education and prevention
✔️ Thoughtful, holistic treatment planning
✔️ Ongoing support instead of rushed visits

It doesn’t replace in-clinic exams, it complements them.

💬 Would your pet be calmer at home?

If your dog or cat struggles with chronic itching, recurring ear infections, digestive issues, anxiety, or frequent illness, these may not be separate problems at all.

Leaky gut happens when the intestinal lining becomes inflamed and overly permeable. The gut starts allowing toxins, bacteria, and partially digested food particles to leak into the bloodstream.

As a holistic integrative vet, I see this pattern over and over again:

👉 we treat the symptoms, but the body is asking for deeper support.

The real healing happens when we stop chasing flare-ups and start paying attention to what’s happening beneath the surface.

💬 Did you know that leaky gut could be what’s causing your dog’s or cat’s issues?

Your dog just came back from a walk… and immediately licked their paws. 🐶

They’re tasting street grime, lawn chemicals, and bacteria & allergens.

Cleaning their paws after walks is one of the easiest ways to:
✨ reduce allergies
✨ prevent infections
✨ support long-term health

If you want to learn more about how to clean your dog’s paws, you can listen to the full episode on my podcast Paws, Reflect & Heal. The link is in my bio.

Do you clean after every walk or only sometimes? Be honest 👇

Cancer is the #1 cause of death in pets over age 10. And most cases are found late because our pets hide pain so well.

But here’s the hopeful part: early detection can give you YEARS more together.

And when cancer is diagnosed?
The best outcomes happen when conventional treatments and holistic therapies work together.

👉 Save this so you never miss the early warning signs.

Can dogs eat bread? 🍞

Yes, dogs can eat a bit of plain bread, but it’s not nutritionally useful.

Prefer whole foods that support the microbiome.

If you do share some bread with your dog, keep it plain. Keep it small. Keep it occasional.

Tell me, does your dog beg for your toast too? 😅

One day, someone will say holistic care “doesn’t work” for dogs or cats.

But that same pet might still be itchy, inflamed, anxious, or in pain… even after years of medication.

Holistic integrative medicine looks deeper:
✔️ Why is the gut inflamed?
✔️ Why is the immune system overreacting?
✔️ Why does this keep coming back?

When acupuncture, nutrition, herbs, supplements, lifestyle changes are used intentionally, safely and combined with tradicional medicine, it can create real, lasting change.

Each dog or cat are unique and the treatments should be recommended by a holistic integrative veterinarian.

💬 Comment if you’ve seen holistic care change a pet’s life!

It can be scary when your dog gets bitten by another dog, because even tiny punctures can hide deep tissue injury or infection.

Here’s exactly what to do in the moment and how to support healing afterward 👇

1️⃣ Stay calm and create distance
Your dog needs your stability. Move them away from the other dog and into a quiet area.

2️⃣ Assess the wound
Look for bleeding, swelling, punctures, limping, shaking or crying.

3️⃣ Clean the wound gently
Use warm water or saline. Avoid using hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, or harsh scrubbing. They damage tissue and slow healing.

4️⃣ Go to your veterinarian
Dog bites have a high infection rate and may need deep cleaning, antibiotics, pain relief, drains, sutures, tetanus update (rare but possible).

🌿An integrative veterinarian may also support with laser therapy, ozone therapy, or homeopathy depending on the case.

5️⃣ Support healing at home
Keep the wound clean, dry, and your dog rested.

6️⃣ Monitor for warning signs
If you see redness, pus, swelling, heat, odor, lethargy, go back to the vet immediately.
