As a holistic, integrative small animal veterinarian with over 40 years of experience in all aspects of veterinary medicine, I approach nutrition from a different viewpoint than most pet nutritionists.

If your pet is experiencing any health challenge from kidney disease to diabetes to cancer, I will guide you through the veterinary journey with a different perspective from your veterinarian.

Diet and gut health are critical to manage chronic inflammation, which means nearly all chronic diseases. Minimally processed whole foods are the keystone to this.
Highly processed pet foods only add to the inflammation and digestive issues!

Diet goes a long way to healing the gut, but often more is needed. In addition to nutritional counseling and diet formulations, I can recommend and interpret additional diagnostic tests that help guide your pet's therapy.

If your pet is healthy and you would like to keep them that way, I can help as well. With so much information available from the internet, friends and your veterinarian, much of it contradictory, it can be difficult to navigate what is truly best for your pet.

In a Holistic Lifestyle Consult, I will help guide you regarding diet, supplements, vaccines, parasite protection and more.

All consults are done virtually, so you can be anywhere in the United States!

A nutritional consult with me includes full evaluation of all medical records from a holistic standpoint, a 30 minute consult by phone or Zoom and a full summary of recommendations, including sourcing if supplements are recommended.

The listed fee is for the initial consult only. Follow up consults are $110.

Therapies offered include individualized diet formulation, specific nutritional and herbal supplement recommendations and at home light therapy treatments. There is also the opportunity for specific diagnostic testing that you can do from the comfort of your home.

As a veterinarian with over 40 years of clinical experience specializing in nutrition, digestive health and immune system function using the holistic approach, I will be interpreting your pet’s health through a different lens than your traditional veterinarian.

While traditional medicine excels in many areas, it teaches us to separate parts and treat symptoms.
A holistic veterinarian focuses on how things are connected, always looking for a root cause that frequently addresses multiple symptoms as the body heals.

When needed, I can also create a fully balanced, whole food, species appropriate individualized diet formulation for those pets with significant disease or multiple food intolerances.

Our pets suffer from many of the same chronic illness that we do. That is not surprising when you realize that according to the Center of Disease Control (CDC), 70-90% of chronic illness is due to diet and lifestyle.

That means that we have CONTROL once we have the correct information. We can reverse many chronic illnesses including obesity, diabetes and even cancer when we change how we live and what we put into our bodies. I can help you make the best choices for your furry family member.

What year did you begin serving pets?

1985

How did you hone your craft?

Education: Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) - Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine ; After healing myself of the effects of 2 autoimmune diseases using only food and nutritional supplements, I then had the opportunity to use what I had learned on my own cat when she developed pancreatitis and severe inflammatory bowel disease. I realized that the food choices had to be based on species appropriate choices. When she responded so well to this approach, I knew I had to use the same approach on my patients. So many who had failed traditional treatments responded well to my approach.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?

Our dogs and cats are not little humans. They need to be fed as the little carnivores that they are. When we work WITH their nature instead of trying to fight it, we gain so much more!

What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!

In addition to helping you heal your pets, I am passionate about helping to heal the Earth. I recognize how we are all connected to this planet and our health depends on hers. All product and supplement recommendations are made with your pet's health in mind first, but always considering the impact on our planet. This means caring for the soil microbiome as we care for the gut microbiome, ensuring that products recommended have minimal negative, and hopefully positive, environmental impact and teaching you ways to clean up your local environment to help clean up our collective environment.
