Our work is grounded in biologically-appropriate canine nutrition, used as a primary lever for canine health, not as a trend, belief system, or moral stance.

• Raw and gently cooked feeding strategies, selected based on the individual dog and clinical context

• Food-first approaches informed by physiology, not fashion

• Adjustments guided by response, testing, and practicality — not rigid rules

• Explicit rejection of trend-driven feeding models and anecdotal claims elevated to “truth”

We treat nutrition as a dynamic strategy, not a static plan.

Where appropriate, we integrate primarily European, evidence-based phytotherapy and mycotherapy, with select global applications as adjunct support.

• Grounded in empirical evidence, clinical tradition, and pharmacological understanding

• Used with clear intent, dosing rationale, and a defined role

• Not “herbalism,” not symbolism, and not the assumption that “natural” is inherently safer or superior

• Always considered in relation to the dog’s condition, medications, and diagnostic finding.

Adjunct support is applied with restraint, not simply enthusiasm.

Navigation of Complex and Chronic Care

Because dogs with chronic or complex conditions must still operate within veterinary medicine, our consulting does not stop at nutrition or adjunct support.

A significant part of our work is helping dog guardians navigate the realities and friction points that arise from ongoing veterinary care.

Navigating Your Veterinarian

We support clients in preparing for and evaluating veterinary care, including:

• What questions to ask during veterinary visits

• How to assess veterinary recommendations — including treatments proposed and treatments omitted

• How to consider potential side effects, trade-offs, and downstream consequences of medications or interventions

• How to weigh whether a second opinion or a change in veterinarian is appropriate

• What information to provide, and what questions to ask, when seeking a new veterinarian

This is not about opposing veterinary medicine — it is about engaging with it competently and responsibly.

Navigating Conflicting Advice

We help clients develop a framework for evaluating the flood of information they encounter, including:

• How to assess marketing claims from both conventional and holistic pet health companies

• How to read and interpret scientific information without oversimplification

• How to distinguish evidence, inference, and assumption

• How to evaluate the quality and relevance of studies

• How to make decisions under uncertainty without freezing or overreacting

The goal is discernment, not certainty theater.
