Paws For Reflection

Paws For Reflection Paws For Reflection Paws for Reflection is an Animal Communication & Animal Wellness- Education Practice. I work with individuals (animal or human) and families.

(Please see website link below for detailed information.)
~~~~~~~
Our animals may go to great lengths to get our attention by acting aggressively, spraying, barking, being destructive, or they may have illnesses that will not resolve. Using my intuitive skills, I have the ability to hear what your animal is saying. During the session, I will translate that information into a deep, heart-felt and

informative conversation with you and your animal companion/s. I have been communicating with animals since I was a young child and began working professionally as an animal communicator in 1999. I have studied and continue to practice Earth Wisdom teachings to honor my heritage (Native American and European), the gifts I have been given and my commitment to the Earth and all Beings that call her home. While the human species relies on the use of eye contact, body language and verbal cues (words) to communicate, all other animals communicate through the use of telepathy, body language and some sound. Telepathy is the most common and universal form of communication and is an ability we are all born with. However, if this skill is not utilized, it becomes weak and is eventually forgotten. Animal communicators have remembered and honed the skill of telepathy and are bringing it back into everyday awareness. When speaking with an animal, the information I receive comes telepathically in the form of words, images and emotions. My job during the session is to listen intently with compassion, an open heart and to be in a space of non-judgment, allowing our time together to be deep and expansive. I will relay the information I receive in a clear and practical manner while holding space for healing and change to occur. Occasionally companion animals will match their human/s energetically and will take on their illnesses or emotional imbalances. This mirroring can help individuals become aware of how they affect one another and move towards healing. It is an honor to be of service to the family during times of serious illness, emotional crisis and transition/death. Together we can clarify the animal’s immediate condition, preferences for treatment and wishes regarding long-term care. We can also ask questions such as whether or not they would like assistance via euthanasia and what their wishes are concerning their remains. Also, once the transition is completed, contact can often be made with the animal’s soul. I do my consultations via telephone so that I am not distracted by outside influences such as the home environment or the physical characteristics and behaviors of the animal/s (including humans). I am happy to work closely with veterinarians, both western and alternative, and will stay in close contact with your vet when warranted. Please note, an animal communication session does not replace qualified complementary care or medical care for your animal, but they can effectively be used together. On occasion I will advise you to seek veterinary care if I feel the animal has a medical condition.

🎆 Don't Wait Until July 4th to Prepare Your Dog for Fireworks 🎆

Remy may be ready to celebrate in his red, white, and blue, but many dogs aren't quite as excited about the loud noises that come with the holiday. We are sure many of you can relate!

If your pup struggles with fireworks, the best time to start preparing is now—not when the booms start. Here are some ways you can help relieve you dog's stress during fireworks (and thunderstorm) season!

🐾 Make your dog's crate a safe, comfortable retreat by offering meals, treats, and quiet relaxation time inside.

🐾 Begin desensitization training by playing fireworks or thunder soundtracks at a very low volume while your dog enjoys something positive, such as a favorite treat, toy, or training session.

🐾 If your dog becomes anxious during fireworks, plan to keep them safely crated indoors. Frightened dogs can panic and attempt to escape through doors, fences, windows, or screens, putting them at risk of becoming lost or injured.

A little preparation now can make a big difference when Independence Day arrives.

Need help building your dog's confidence before the holiday? Contact our training team at (530) 643-0794—we'd be happy to help!

Something to think about.

Something to think about.

For years, I’ve encouraged pet parents to ask themselves an important question when feeding their pets: What is this food doing to my pet’s body over time? A newly published study tested multiple brands of commercial pet foods and found mycotoxins, phytoestrogens, and other biologically active compounds in nearly every sample.
Cats appeared more vulnerable than dogs 😿. This is why I’m so passionate about rotating many brands and flavors/proteins of fresh, human grade pet foods. Most animals won’t suddenly become ill from eating one bag of food or one meal, but what’s happening meal after meal, year after year? Nutritional variety is not only crucial for a healthy microbiome, it reduces recurrent exposure of unwanted tagalongs from one brand’s supply chain, reducing the risks of repeated low grade contaminants from the same source.
In my latest article, I’ll show you why certain ingredients are more prone to contamination, the history of some major pet food recalls, and simple steps you can take to reduce your pet’s toxic burden and support lifelong health. Check out the link in comments 🐾💚

Your dog can be perfectly normal this morning.

Playing.
Eating.
Wagging their tail.

And by evening, they could be fighting for their life.

Splenic Hemangiosarcoma is an aggressive cancer that often grows silently inside the spleen. Many dogs show few or no warning signs until the tumor suddenly ruptures, causing life-threatening internal bleeding.

The heartbreaking part?

Some dogs collapse, recover temporarily, and appear normal again—only for the bleeding to return.

Know the signs.
Trust your instincts.
Never ignore sudden weakness, pale gums, or collapse.

Because sometimes the only warning is the emergency itself.

Be sure they’re organic, but add chopped apple to your dog’s diet and we know blueberries are great too!

Dogs🐾 benefit from something as simple as an apple🍎. A new peer-reviewed systematic review published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science highlighted quercetin, a powerful flavonoid✨ found in apples, as one of the most promising natural compounds for supporting long-term health.

Research suggests quercetin helps reduce inflammation, protect cells from oxidative damage, support beneficial gut bacteria, strengthen the gut barrier, and promote healthy metabolism, all of which are closely linked to healthier aging.

Choose organic apples🍏 or spray free apples when possible, as conventionally grown apples are among the fruits most commonly found to contain pesticide residues. Remove the seeds and core, but leave the skin on (that’s where the quercetin is) before sharing a few bites with your dog. If you’re choosing a variety, Red Delicious🍎 apples are considered one of the richest sources of quercetin among commonly available apples.

This is also one of the reasons Dr. Karen Becker chose hypoallergenic organic apple fiber as the carrier in the Proactive Paws™ formulas instead of ingredients like beef liver or cellulose. Apple fiber helps make her human grade formulas suitable for pets with food sensitivities, while also acting as a prebiotic that nourishes beneficial gut bacteria and supports the production of health-promoting short-chain fatty acids.

Super important point by my friend Blair at Primal Needs.

There are alternatives. Look up Wondercide products.

There are alternatives. Look up Wondercide products.

New peer-reviewed study shows 100% of bird nests tested contained residues of flea and tick chemicals from pets. These chemicals were found not just in nest lining made from treated pet fur, but also in eggs and dead chicks. Researchers also observed that higher contamination levels in nests were associated with more unhatched eggs and chick mortality signals, suggesting a clear exposure pathway from pets to wild birds through nest building materials.

In simple terms, wild birds may be unintentionally exposing their embryos and chicks to pet parasite treatments.

This adds a concerning layer during a period of ongoing bird declines, but it is important to note it is not considered a primary driver. Major causes of bird population declines in Europe and North America are still habitat loss and fragmentation, insect decline and food shortages, climate change, and intensive agricultural practices.

A great alternative to flea and tick medicine. Please avoid traditional oral and topical medicines. Seizures happen frequently. This is an easy and wonderful alternative. Do not spray your animal inside if you have domesticated birds as they are very sensitive to essential oils.

No dyes. No artificial fragrances. Just clean science + nature to protect your pack and the planet 🌿
