Holistic Health Coaching for Small Breed Dogs - Nationwide
My name is Bea Swasey, I am a Certified Holistic Pet Health Coach and the owner of SparkedUpDogs - I focus on working with small breed dogs. Smaller dogs tend to have a longer lifespan with unique dietary requirements. Feeding a fresh, anti-inflammatory, home-cooked diet with whole-foods ingredients provides immune and digestive support, helps to reduce discomfort and promotes longevity.
I take an individualized approach and offer 1-1 consultations to provide simple, gently-cooked recipes, natural solutions and actionable steps to guide dog parents on their best friend's healing journey.

I am committed to providing personalized consultations tailored to your dog's individual needs.
My goal is not only to offer guidance on what to feed your small dog, but also to empower you with knowledge and confidence in making informed decisions for your furry friend whether it comes to food, treats, natural supplements and additional holistic support.
I prioritize transparency and open communication, ensuring that you feel fully supported and involved in the nutrition journey of your little girl or guy.
By working together, we can address dietary challenges and health concerns your small dog may have, whether it's weight management, digestive issues (IBS, IBD, diarrhea), food sensitivities, dental issues, arthritis, IVDD, ear infections, “frito-smelling” paws, red, itchy skin, pancreatitis, UTIs, kidney disease, elevated liver enzymes, heart issues, Cushing’s Disease and other chronic illnesses.
WHAT'S INCLUDED IN OUR CONSULTATION:
• A 5-8 PAGE DETAILED REPORT you’ll get at the end of our consultation – meaning you don’t need to worry about taking notes during our call.
• If you shared lab results (blood work, urinalysis), I go through them and share my thoughts on how those values may correlate with the symptoms your dog is experiencing (I do not provide diagnosis though).
• I REVIEW and share side effects OF the PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS your dog may be taking (often the symptoms your dog is experiencing are triggered by medications taken).
• We review ingredients in current supplements and their functions.
• If you currently feed a commercial diet, I provide a quick analysis of the ingredients and macro-nutrient ratio (and explain how a fresh diet is different).
• As I AIM TO FIND THE ROOT CAUSE of the health issues – instead of just masking symptoms, I share a little bit about the anatomy and physiology of dogs (in a simple way) to help provide an understanding of what may be behind the discomfort your best friend is experiencing.
• You will receive 3 EASY RECIPES that are TAILORED TO YOUR DOG'S SPECIFIC NEEDS (if you shared a recent food sensitivity testing report, my recipes will consider those restrictions) – these recipes can be made in a CrockPot or the oven in large batches, so you won’t have to worry about cooking daily – and as you’ll have multiple recipes, you can easily rotate them.
• You will get NATURAL SUPPLEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS with a brief description of how they can support your dog’s health - links to each product are included.
• I will share a 10% off code that you can use on the majority of products I recommend.
• ADDITIONAL ideas, TIPS AND TRICKS to support your dog’s health.
• EMAIL SUPPORT FOR A MONTH for quick clarifying questions about topics discussed during the call.
• FOLLOW UP CALLS AT A DISCOUNTED RATE.
• Our Zoom call can be recorded * upon request * – so you can rewatch it as many times as you’d like.
In preparation for our time together, I will ask you to complete an intake form 48 hrs prior to our consultation so I can learn more about your dog’s health history, current medications, diet and symptoms. I will also ask you to send me recent lab results, food sensitivity test results (if any) and a couple of pictures of your pup so I can get a general idea of what he/she looks like (and if there are any visible problematic areas like red paws, I would like to see that too so I can provide better support.
***Disclaimer: As I am not a veterinarian, I don’t diagnose, treat, cure or prescribe medication. You should always consult with your vet before making changes to your dog’s diet.
Do you have multiple dogs and you'd like to switch them all to a fresh diet? They may have different health issues and so they may need (slightly) different meal plans and supplement needs, This consultation option is great if you have 2-3 dogs. During our 1-1 consultation, you'll get a detailed review of each of your dog's health history, symptoms, current medications (and their side effects), we'll look at their current diet to see how it supports or doesn't support their health. You will receive custom recipes created specifically to support each dog's healing journey. These recipes are simple, easy to make at home in the oven or a Crockpot, require minimal prep time and the ingredients can be bought at your local grocery store (aside from a few supplements) - which means you'll never have to wonder what goes into your dogs' bowl! I will also recommend natural supplements and other tips and tricks to promote health and longevity.

Customer Reviews
Brea was outstanding!!! She really knows her stuff…
She asked for Mr. Baby’s medical records & from there, she calculated exact portions for my Mr Baby’s medical needs …
From recipes to exact protein, vitamins and vegetables…
I truly am impressed and I will absolutely recommend her to all of my friends are looking for a great nutritionist…
I am forever grateful because I was looking for someone to help me balance, my baby’s diet
- Adriana BolanosBea is responded quickly to our request, by the time Bea received our completed questionnaire we already had an appointment scheduled, on our zoom appointment Bea asked lots of questions about our pup and her allergies, our environment, what we had tried, what worked and what didn’t etc, Bea is very knowledgeable and professional and answered all our questions, within two days I had my recipes, and I’m on my second batch Choy absolute loves her food I can’t wait to receive all her supplements and hopefully my little Choy will feel better, I can’t thank Bea enough we are so glad we found her, Thank you Bea :)
- Mario PavesiBea was very thorough and went over recipes and my dog's specific dietary and health issues.She took her time,answering all of my concerns. I feel more confident now that I'll be able to cook for Finn and I already see an improvement in him.I highly recommend Bea for anyone struggling with their dog's diet.I want to add that when I was sending inquiries, most of the answers were on the generic side. Bea took the time to tell me her ideas and suggestions before I even chose her.That's when I stopped looking.I knew she was the right nutritionist for us.Don't hesitate to use her.She's extremely knowledgeable.
- Joyce ThromShe was so thorough, knowledgeable, and encouraging about diet and nutrition. I just really love the whole holistic healing with proper nutrition and healthy supplementation. I personally see a naturopath so why wouldn’t I want my fur babies to be taken care of the same way with nutrition and holistic healing? Can’t wait to see my babies thrive health wise and try these recipes for them, I know they will never look at food the same way!
