Holistic Nutrition Tips For Dogs

Happy dog running on beach — Feed them the best you can!

Nutrition is the foundation of your dog’s health — and yet most dog moms have been handed the same recycled advice for 40 years: kibble, chicken-and-rice, and a hope and a prayer. If you’re here, it’s because you already know your dog deserves better. You want real education, real science, and real common sense… not marketing disguised as “vet recommended.” And you’re willing to explore fresh food, functional herbs, essential oils, mushrooms, homeopathy, and the kind of whole-body wellness that actually moves the needle.

This blog is where I teach you why dogs thrive on biologically appropriate foods, how nutrition impacts behavior, skin, immunity, gut health, and aging — and what’s really going on behind the scenes with pet food manufacturing, synthetic vitamins, fillers, and those mystery “prescription diets.” I keep it honest, practical, and grounded in experience. If you’re ready to learn, to try something new, and to feed your dog like their health actually matters… you’re in the right place.learn, to try something new, and to feed your dog like their health actually matters… you’re in the right place.
