💚 5 Silent Signs Your Pet’s Gut Is Crying for Help 🦠

Is your pet’s body whispering for help , but you can’t quite put your finger on it? 🤔💭

Sometimes, the signs of imbalance aren’t loud. They’re quiet, repetitive, and easy to overlook... until your pet’s body starts to shout.

🌿 Your pet’s gut is more than a digestion machine.
It’s the core of their health, where:
💪 70% of the immune system lives
🌸 Nutrients are absorbed
🧠 Emotional balance begins

When the gut struggles, you might see:
1️⃣ Recurring itchy skin or hotspots
2️⃣ Bad breath or “doggy smell”
3️⃣ Picky eating or changing appetite
4️⃣ Mood swings, anxiety or low energy
5️⃣ Repeated ear infections

Each one is your pet’s way of saying:
“Something inside me needs balance.” ✨

🌿Healing begins when we stop suppressing symptoms and start listening to what the body is trying to say.

💫 You don’t need to guess or Google your way through this.
With the right guidance and gentle natural support, your pet’s body can return to balance... one step at a time. 💚

🐾 If your pet shows one or more of these signs, DM me the word “GUT” or email me your pet's story.📨

I’ll help you understand what might be happening beneath the surface and share the first steps toward natural healing. 🌸

🌟 When an 18-year-old cat starts acting like a kitten again... 🌟

This beautiful senior lady has chronic kidney disease, yet just hours after her homeopathic remedy, something magical happened. 🌿🐾

"4 hours after Arsenicum 200c, she was running around, purring, tail up. Kitten vibes again! 🐾
She hasn’t had this energy or essence for a long while.
She seems like her old self. I’m floored!
Thank you, dear Hanka."

✨ Seeing vitality return to our senior animals is one of the most heartwarming parts of my work.

When the body is supported gently and naturally, even long-standing conditions can make space for light, joy, and life again. 💚

✨ Something is changing.
Veterinary medicine is beginning to take the power of nature seriously.

The Irish Farmers Journal featured a full article on how homeopathy and herbal remedies can play a critical role in animal health.
A small step, but a big signal. 💚

Even in Ireland, more and more voices are saying:
it’s not either–or, it’s both–and.

🧠 Science and 🌿 Nature
can (and should) work together to build long-term vitality for our animals.

Because when we support the body’s natural balance,
we don’t have to fight disease, we nurture health.

True healing begins with listening...
to the body, to nature, and to the bond we share with our animals. 🤍

🐾 What if true health for your pet meant going back to nature? 🌿

After more than 20 years in veterinary medicine, both conventional and holistic, I’ve seen one simple truth again and again:
When we return to nature’s principles, animals begin to heal.

That’s why I want to share three pieces of advice I wish every pet parent knew:

1️⃣ Stop feeding dry food.
It’s one of the biggest contributors to chronic disease and behavioural issues I see.
Dry food is highly processed, dehydrating, and simply not what a dog or cat’s body was designed to eat.

2️⃣ Feed real, natural food... and educate yourself.
Do your research, ask questions, and seek guidance from people who truly understand natural nutrition.
Even the “best” processed food cannot compare to what nature provides in fresh, species-appropriate meals, raw or gently cooked, balanced, and full of life.

3️⃣ Don’t over-medicate.
That means rethinking how often you use worming tablets, flea treatments, and vaccines.
Every chemical adds to the body’s toxic load. Always pause, reflect, and ask: Does my animal really need this right now?

✨ Empower yourself with knowledge.
When you understand how nature heals, you become your pet’s best advocate.
Every small, mindful step you take makes a lasting difference... and your pet’s body will thank you. 💚

🌿Healing from the inside out 🌿

This message truly made my day:

"I am absolutely thrilled with how his gut is healing.
He hasn't been this good since before he had giardia when he was less than 1 year old.
It's a HUGE relief and I am extremely grateful for your kind and gentle advice and guidance in this space, Hanka.”

Gut healing takes patience, trust, and the right natural support... and seeing a dog finally thrive again after a long struggle is one of the most rewarding parts of my work. 💕🐾

Here’s to happy tummies and healthy dogs! 🌸

🐶Your pet can’t tell you when they’re feeling off... 🐱
but their body gives clues often long before illness becomes obvious.

Learning your dog’s vital signs is one of the most valuable things you can do as a pet parent. It’s simple, it’s free, and it could one day save their life. 🌿

💡 Start with what’s normal.
Every animal is a little different, so take a few calm moments when your pet is relaxed to observe their usual signs:

🦷 Gum Color & Moisture: Healthy gums should be pale pink and moist, not dry, red, or pale.
⏱️ Capillary Refill Time (CRT): Press the gums, release, and count. The pink should return in 1–2 seconds.
💧 Hydration (Skin Turgor Test): Gently lift the skin between the shoulders; it should spring back quickly.
❤️ Heart Rate: Feel the heartbeat on the left side of the chest; 60–180 bpm is normal for dogs (smaller dogs are faster), 120–240 bpm normal for cats
🌬️ Breathing Rate — Count chest rises for 1 minute; 10–30 per minute for dogs is ideal when resting, 10–40 per minute for cats

Knowing what’s normal for your pet helps you notice even the smallest changes, before they become emergencies.

So the next time your pet seems “a bit off,” you’ll have real clues to go by instead of just guessing. 💚

🌸 Being someone’s “rock” through hard times 🌸

Caring for a sick dog can feel overwhelming... full of worry, sleepless nights, and so many questions. 💔

That’s why messages like this mean so much to me:

"Thank you so much for your reply last night.
I very much appreciate that you took the time to send a reply as I did feel very worried about Lilly.
Your expertise and support as you guide Lilly and I through this is invaluable!
You are like our ‘ROCK’ at this time.”

I can’t always take away the illness, but I can be there... steady, compassionate, and committed to helping both the dog and their human every step of the way. 💕🐾

Because no one should have to face this journey alone. 🌿

✨Ever wonder what inspires someone to dedicate their life to natural healing?

🌱 My journey into naturopathic veterinary medicine started with a life-changing moment… losing my best friend to cancer at just 37.

❤️‍🩹 This heartbreak led me to ask deeper questions: Why do our beloved pets (and people) develop chronic diseases, and how can we support true healing naturally?

🐾 Now, as a naturopathic vet, I help chronically ill pets thrive using a blend of nutritional therapy, homeopathy, herbal medicine, and more!

🌟 A little miracle for Bud 🌟

Five months ago, Bud was diagnosed with splenic cancer (hemangiosarcoma). His family was heartbroken, but committed to supporting him with a whole food, species-appropriate diet, along with carefully chosen supplements, herbs, and medicinal mushrooms. 🌿🍄

This is what his mom just shared with me after his latest scan:

"It's now been five months since Bud's last scan, when he was diagnosed with splenic cancer (hemangiosarcoma).
They scanned him again ... the tumours on the spleen are gone! I couldn't believe it.”

Stories like Bud’s remind us that while every journey is unique, nourishing the body with nature’s wisdom can create space for healing and hope. 💖🐾

👉 If your dog is facing a health challenge, you don’t have to walk the path alone. Support and guidance can make all the difference.
