Holistic Health Tips for Dogs

Most “health tips” for dogs are the same tired suggestions: switch foods, buy a new supplement, walk more, bathe less, cross your fingers. That’s not how real wellness works — and you already know that, or you wouldn’t be here. This section is where I break down the practical, doable steps that actually support your dog’s long-term health: reducing inflammation, improving digestion, supporting detox pathways, managing stress, building emotional resilience, and creating a low-tox lifestyle that keeps your dog thriving instead of struggling.

You’ll find tips grounded in nutrition, behavior, environment, energy work, and common sense — things your vet may never mention, but that absolutely change a dog’s life. Fresh food strategies, gut support, essential oils, herbs, homeopathy, hydration tips, nervous system regulation, environmental detox, senior dog care… it’s all here. If you’re the kind of dog mom who wants to understand the “why” behind your dog’s symptoms and actually do something about it, this corner of my blog is for you.

See your veterinarian for an official diagnosis. Then you and I can collaborate on a wellness strategy to support your dog.
