A lot of people are surprised to learn that Dozer is now 13 years old. This photo was taken today.

A couple of years ago I went through a bad break up, moved house, was injured at work, and my mental health deteriorated as a result. This guy stayed by my side the whole time, however his health declined along with mine as the result of soaking up my drained energy and constant state of survival mode. I looked at him one day and realised he suddenly looked really old, had a lot of grey around his face, was overweight and had a collection of fatty lumps growing bigger by the day. I went back to making his food myself (including supplements to target the specific issues he was facing), got his weight under control, and spent a small fortune on a consultation with a holistic vet ($$$ ouch!) mostly for diagnostic purposes, who only confirmed to me that I was doing all the right things and advised me to continue... Today his fatty lumps have reduced so much that most of them have actually disappeared completely, his weight is back to normal, the spark is reignited in his eyes, his coat is shining and his energy has returned so much that he is constantly demanding I take him for walks! His quality of life has improved dramatically and I'm confident he has years left in him.
He is the reason I finally started this business after more than 25 years of intention (and experience in holistic treatments for pets with previous animals I have been caretaker of, rehabilitated and fostered), and he reaps the benefit of all the different modalities I work with...
I'm relaunching Healthy Pets Holistically in the coming weeks with a website under construction, and I'm putting together packages to assist your pets achieve wellness through a holistic approach. I've been adding to my tool kit and finishing up my recognised qualifications (after years of practical experience), and will be clearer in my offerings in the very near future (add wrangling ducks to my skillset, they are nearly all in a row!).
Thank you for your ongoing interest and support, stay tuned and watch this space!
Lots of Love,
Katie and Dozer 🐾☯️💜

I visited two of my favourites yesterday, Bosley and Oscar! These fine gentlemen had a pampering session and a tidy up which they thoroughly enjoyed... Post, pre and during photos below!
My grooms include Essential Oil Infused Natural Shampoo and Conditioner, natural relaxants, massage during the bath, and an all over body inspection... I discovered a red sore spot on Oscar's feet while trimming his foot fur, and his humans are now keeping an eye on it and managing it with natural remedies. A change of season can bring out allergies, and irritated feet benefit greatly from air flow, so now is the perfect time for trimming fluffy feet, especially if your furry friend is licking excessively or limping occasionally! I'm currently taking pre Spring bookings now the weather is warming up again, and packages are available for multiple animals or treatments! Send me a message with your requirements and I'll be happy to assist you! 🐾☯️👌💜

DARK SIDE OF THE TANK....
Are your fish just lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year?
Unfortunately for some of my client's scaled friends it was Fish You Were Here and they went to The Great Gig In The Sky...
If you feel like you are always On The Run or short of Time, I'm the fish geek for you!

Fishkeeping is a science, but I can help simplify it for you... Small tanks actually require more maintenance than larger tanks because ammonia, nitrite and nitrate can quickly build up. This tank has only been going for a couple of months, and my client, a newcomer to the joys of aquariums, was having trouble keeping it clean, resulting in a few casualties...
It was obvious to me by looking at it that the ammonia was likely high due to the state of the water, but it was a good excuse to test out my new water test kit anyway, and it turned out to be off the chart... I demonstrated how best to use the equipment he'd already purchased, gave the tank a good clean with an almost full water change, and a few pointers to help with the maintenance...
Whether you need help setting up a new tank (correct initial set up is crucial to success!), help with troubleshooting, would like some pointers to save you time and money, or someone to do the maintenance for you (and I'll do the dirty work and keep the fish geek to myself), flick me a message with some information about your tank... I'm now offering free water testing with aquarium consultations!

This little cherub Karma had her first puppy groom yesterday... It's important that puppies have positive grooming experiences during their critical socialisation stage to ensure a good association with their groomer, so I took my time and made sure she got plenty of treats and it was fun for her.. I didn't take too much off, just a little around her eyes, feet and bum, and she had an absolute ball drying off after her bath and came out so floofy!!! Isn't she adorable!!! 🐾☯️💜

Did you know I also do aquarium maintenance? The first time I cleaned this fishtank it was green and full of algae and the fish were very lethargic and oxygen starved.. My client had inherited it from her son and she had no experience with fish, but she's done a great job following my advice and I now do regular maintenance for her to keep the fish happy and thriving... She has a new filter which provides a lot of oxygen, but you can see how much gunk builds up in the filters and it's important to clean them regularly to stop ammonia from building up... If you have a fish tank that needs some attention I'm your gal so flick me a message! 🐟🐠☯️💜
