Our Story

The story is varied and complex, but is most definitely inspired by a border terrier named Hobbs. After many years of casual study of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Animal Nutrition, I have finally arrived at a place where I feel I can provide some everyday advice and solutions for making your companion animals happier and healthier.

I’m not here to tell you what you “should” do, only what you could do. I know that we are all in different places with different abilities, I am here to tailor solutions for you and your pet at this moment. Solutions change as needs change, so this support is ever evolving.

This story is far from over, it is a journey and every day is full of learning, and every animal is different and unique. They will teach us everything we need to know, we simply have to be present and listen.


The Mission

To share the skills and knowledge necessary to support optimal animal health through everyday practices that you can provide your pet.


By supporting your dog’s well-being, you can contribute to years of optimal quality of life.
