Services
for cats & dogs
I can work directly with you, to help you become your pet’s advocate.
Or I can work with your vet as part of your unified healthcare team.
An integrative approach towards health and wellness.
With a range of health and diet consultations, I can help you navigate myriad issues affecting your pet’s well-being. Have a new kitten or puppy? Seeking help with diet decisions? Or, has your pet been diagnosed with a chronic or life-threatening disease? We’ll delve into everything that’s impacting your cat or dog: diet, environment, and lifestyle. We’ll explore natural therapies you may be interested in, including herbal formulas, nutritional supplements, flower essences, and more. And, because I feel what you choose to put in your pet’s food bowl is one of the most important decisions of their care, know that diet will be a main topic.

Diet Advice Consultation for Cat or Dog
This consultation allows us to evaluate your pet’s current diet and provide guidance for your individual cat or dog. Cats and dogs have unique nutritional and feeding needs. Cats are obligate carnivores, requiring a high meat protein, organ meats, moderate fat, and low carbohydrate diet. Dogs are facultative carnivores, meaning they can survive on a non-carnivorous diet but often benefit from a well-balanced meal of meat proteins, fresh veggies, and low-glycemic carbs. If your appointment requires detailed guidance for foods for therapeutic needs because of a specific health issue, this may not be the right appointment for you. This option is more for new owners or for the individual seeking a better food path for a pet that does not have a medical condition.
With all the conflicting advice available on what and how to feed, this consultation will help you navigate a variety of options and help guide you to what may be best for your companion.
$175
This consultation includes:
- Review of the provided history of an individual cat or dog on diet such as quantity, quality, frequency, and developing nutritional and caloric needs from information on provided intake forms;
- Virtual or phone meeting up to 1 hour;
- Immediate feedback on current and recommended diet modifications during the meeting;
- Written Food Advice Summary;

Add-on Services
A basic Diet Advice Consultation will get you on the path to understanding more about your companion’s nutritional needs, but when you need more in-depth support, these Add-on Services can be combined to meet your pet’s health and nutrition needs.
Therapeutic Support Consultation
This add-on provides a more in-depth consultation where I can dig deeper into your pet’s health challenges and offer detailed guidance to help you make more informed choices and learn how food can be a therapeutic support. To make the most of this appointment you will be requested to complete a diet and health history intake form (sent to you 24-48 hrs after scheduling) and submit recent diagnostic reports. Then I gather the provided information, review, research, and provide you with a customized step-by-step plan which covers diet, natural remedy and/or supplement recommendations, and lifestyle enrichments.

Want more control over ingredients and sourcing? Interested in learning about functional nutrition? Let me help you reach beyond the pet food shelf and discover the benefits of making your pet’s food. From treats to meals and from limited ingredients to specialty diets, let’s cultivate your ideas into a fun menu for your feline or canine.

From there, we’ll talk about next steps if a therapeutic diet/recipe is recommended.

Weight Management Plan
Obesity is now considered the number one health and welfare risk of our pets with 60% of cats and 54% of our dogs overweight or obese. This is a challenging disease, in that there are a number of factors involved: 1) weight management dropout rates exceed successes, 2) owners are uninformed on recognizing weight gain much less being aware of the increased health risks, and 3) many pet foods set your cat or dog up for weight gain. This weight management plan offers you a better understanding and strategies for helping your pet lose weight or maintain a lean body condition.
Diet Advice + $175 = $350
This service includes:
- A basic Diet Advice Consultation, PLUS…
- A complete nutritional history on brands, quantity, meal frequency, with strict attention to calculating nutritional and RER/DER needs;
- Written Weight Management Menu/Plan providing diet and caloric restrictions;
- 2 months of weekly or biweekly check-ins, to help you manage and/or adjust strategies of the program.
