Hello! My name is Angela and I’m a canine-obsessed forty-something living in Colorado with my husband, daughter, and our eleven-year-old rescue pittie, Laila.
I’m here to show you how real food nutrition can add years of health and vitality to your dog’s life.
Just like you, I used to feed our dogs from a bag. Honestly, we did everything our vet asked. We gave ALL the vaccines and meds they threw at us, because they know best; right?
So why were our dogs dying so young?
When our two-year-old boxer, Hagler, was diagnosed with mast cell tumors I knew we were missing a valuable piece of the puzzle. I started researching mast cell cancer in dogs and natural ways to fight the disease.
The Facebook Group ‘Holistic Care for Dogs with Mast Cell Cancer’ was super helpful. I started adding specific foods and supplements to Hagler’s kibble and we were able to keep him in remission for five years.
Our vet was impressed with his health and administered his rabies vaccine since he hadn’t had it for over five years. Within two weeks Hagler was severely anemic and needed a blood transfusion to survive. Even after two blood transfusions his body just shut down.
That single dose of rabies vaccine is what ultimately ended his life at the age of seven.
After losing our boy so suddenly, I wanted to learn as much as I could about raising our pets more naturally.
I enrolled in canine massage courses at The Rocky Mountain School of Animal Acupressure and Massage. It’s there I started to learn about feeding real food and the benefits of the holistic approach to pet care.
Django & Laila
Against my better judgement we continued to feed kibble to our new additions, Laila and Django. At a year and a half Django (boxer) started having seizures. They gradually became more and more frequent and we lost him shortly before his fourth birthday.
I can’t even tell you how angry I was. We just lost two dogs within five years. Both of which were way too young. I definitely felt like I had failed them somehow.
After this devastating loss, I realized my passion is to help others avoid unnecessary heartache by sharing what helps our dogs THRIVE, not just survive.
I used my anger and my broken heart to move forward and learn even more about natural canine health and wellness.
First I immersed myself in the how-to of raw feeding and gained my certification from Dogs Naturally. Through the courses I’ve taken, I learned most of us are doing it all wrong.
We DITCHED THE KIBBLE and started feeding real food!
Laila’s diet consists of raw meat and organs, raw meaty bones, and vegetables. I don’t know what took me so long to realize that a simple switch in her diet could change everything.
I’m currently working on my Holistic Pet Health Coach certification. This is a program designed by veterinarian, Dr. Ruth Roberts, to train coaches to provide knowledge and support to pet parents. I will show you how real food and natural supplements will help your pets thrive!
Don’t want to feed raw? That’s OK! You have other options that are better than commercial pet food. I am here to walk you through how to cook a balanced meal for your dog or cat.
The Original CrockPET Diet which was also designed by Dr. Ruth Roberts, is a balanced homemade diet your dog will love.
Let me help you make the switch today!
Django and Laila ❤️
