Just like humans, animal emotions can be both negative and positive. Animals, just like humans, not only feel physical and emotional pain but can also feel and remember pain caused by traumatic events that have happened to them in their past. The problems many pet owners face is not only recognizing these emotional wounds exist, and if they do, finding a way to overcome them. It is unlikely that the vet you take your animal to will be able to help. Unless you are trained in the techniques that I teach in my masterclass, you will not be able to help either. No matter how much you may want to or how much training you do with your animal. That’s because you don’t know how to erase or rewrite history. via GIPHY Rewriting History is the Key to Helping Animals Heal From the Past. Over my career, I have developed […]

On Sunday, December 1, 2019, my husband and I braved the icy roads of Mount Pocono to pick up a dog that we had agreed to foster for the New Jersey Schnauzer Rescue Network (NJSRN). The dogs all came from a Puppy Mill. Buddy was a 7-year-old male miniature schnauzer from an Ohio puppy mill. He was rescued along with 14 other schnauzers. Buddy had been at this present foster home for 8 weeks, however the elderly gentleman caring for him was having a heart procedure and wouldn’t be able to continue to care for him. We were asked to take a turn. On first meet, Buddy wanted nothing to do with my husband nor I. […]

The majority of the world’s population loves any four-legged furry friend to have around the house. But those unique few that love bearded dragons, love them for the same reasons – as companions. They make obedient pets, too. You want to make sure that you know all you need to know about a bearded dragon diet to ensure you keep your pet healthy and happy. via GIPHY The only difference between them and the furry ones are their diets.

You know that oxygen is the molecule that makes all life possible. What you may not know is that activated oxygen turns from the molecule 0-2 (oxygen) to 0-3 (ozone). That’s what activated oxygen therapy is all about and why it’s important for people and pets. This third oxygen atom is very special because it does 2 important things in the body. First, it puts “extra” activated oxygen into diseased, cancerous, inflamed or infected tissue. Increased oxygen greatly boosts the body’s healing power! Consider the fact that all cellular energy, function and healing come directly from oxygen. You may remember your biology and chemistry classes, learning about the cell function of mitochondria […]

Do you know the signs and symptoms of liver and kidney failure in dogs? Liver and kidney failure in dogs are both extremely common. Either can be fatal to your canine companion if left untreated. The liver is a filter for your pup’s digestive system. It metabolizes proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It stores the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients your dog needs for a healthy body. The kidneys filter waste for your dog’s bloodstream. For top health, both organs must be working well. If you’re able to communicate with your pet, he or she will be able to tell you when their system isn’t functioning at its peak. via GIPHY It’s also a good idea to familiarize yourself with the […]
