🥒✨ Did you know your dog’s gut health affects everything from digestion to allergies and even immune strength?

One of my favorite natural tools for supporting dogs is fermented foods. These living foods are rich in beneficial bacteria and enzymes that:

✔️ Help your dog break down and absorb nutrients more efficiently
✔️ Balance the gut microbiome (the key to overall vitality)
✔️ Reduce inflammation that can lead to chronic issues
✔️ Support stronger immune defenses

At Revive & Thrive Canine Wellness, I often include fermented foods in wellness plans, especially for dogs struggling with allergies, digestive upsets, or chronic inflammation.

👉 In my latest blog, I share why fermented foods are so powerful and which ones are safe for your pup. Read more in the comments below!

✨ Did you know your dog can literally feel better through sound? 🎵

Sound healing isn’t just for humans, it’s a gentle, powerful way to help regulate your dog’s nervous system, promote relaxation, and even support healing at the cellular level. 🧘🏼‍♀️

Through the use of tuning forks, singing bowls, or even specific frequency-based music, we can shift a stressed, anxious pup into a state of calm and balance. The best part? These tools can be used during a session or easily integrated into your dog’s home environment.

💡 Imagine your dog settling faster, sleeping deeper, and carrying less stress in their body, all thanks to the power of sound.

I’m currently certifying in sound therapy for dogs and will be offering this amazing modality very soon through Revive & Thrive Canine Wellness. 🐶🎶

If you’re curious how sound can support your pup’s health and want a sneak p*ek at what’s coming, check out my latest blog post in the comments below. 👇

✨ Because sometimes the best medicine… is simply the right frequency. 🎼

🚨 Pet Parents- Your Home Might Be Making Your Dog Sick 🚨

We work so hard to keep our dogs healthy, quality food, exercise, vet care…but what if the biggest threat to their wellness is sitting right in your own home?

Everyday items like chemical cleaners, artificial fragrances, and even some “pet-safe” products can quietly trigger chronic inflammation, skin issues, and long-term health problems. And here’s the kicker, it’s not just your dog at risk…your family is breathing it in too.

Your dog can’t tell you when something in the air, on the floor, or in their bed is slowly harming them. But you can learn how to spot and swap the hidden toxins that impact their health.

💡 Here’s what every pet parent needs to know about what’s really in their home and how to create a safer space for the whole family.

📣 Exciting News!

I’m so honored to be featured in Shoutout Arizona, where I got to share the story behind Revive & Thrive Canine Wellness and how I went from law enforcement to holistic pet health practitioner.

At Revive & Thrive, I focus on helping dogs live longer, healthier lives through nutrition, gut health, joint support, and bodywork therapies, all while reducing the everyday environmental stressors that can take a toll over time.

Whether it’s chronic inflammation, digestive issues, or just helping your dog age more comfortably, my goal is to make natural wellness easy to understand and practical to apply.

I also gave a shoutout to my training business, Fetch This Canine, where I work with dogs hands-on. But even with great training, wellness is what keeps dogs thriving long-term and that’s where Revive & Thrive Canine Wellness comes in.

If you’re passionate about natural health or just curious about how holistic care can change your dog’s quality of life, this one’s for you.

🩵🐾💚 Thank you to Shoutout Arizona for the feature and for helping me share what lights me up.

🚨 Chronic itching? Random digestive issues? Anxious or reactive behavior? 🚨

If you’ve ever thought, “That’s just how my dog is,” it’s time to dig deeper.

One of the most overlooked root causes of these common struggles is heavy metal toxicity and yes, it’s more common than you think.

From drinking water to food to flea meds, heavy metals like lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium are quietly building up in your dog’s system… and they don’t just go away. They accumulate. They inflame. They disrupt the gut, the brain, the immune system and they show up as “unexplained” symptoms.

✨ Want to understand what this means for your dog and how to start supporting detox safely and holistically?

What is PEMF Therapy and Why We’re Using It at Revive & Thrive Canine Wellness 🐾

We’ve recently added a new PEMF device to our wellness toolkit, and I wanted to share why this is such a game-changer for dogs dealing with pain, inflammation, or chronic conditions.

PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy ⚡️- a non-invasive, low-frequency treatment that stimulates healing at the cellular level. Think of it like a battery recharge 🔋 for your dog’s body. It helps improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support faster tissue repair, naturally.

This therapy is:
✔️ Silent
✔️ Pain-free
✔️ No mats or wires
✔️ Safe for sensitive or anxious dogs

Dogs can move around, rest, or even nap during sessions 😴- no need to stay still or tolerate hands-on work if they’re not into it.

The device we use has 50+ targeted programs for:
🦴 Arthritis
💥 Back pain
💪 Muscle tension
🐕‍🦺 Injury recovery
🔥 Inflammation
😟 Anxiety
🌙 Sleep support (yes, for pets and people!)

We’ve just started using it with Penny, who has arthritis and hip dysplasia. Since she’s not a fan of PEMF mats, this device is perfect and we even got creative and repurposed a soft belly band to hold the device over her hips while she rests. Even Pearl tried to curl up next to it- clearly good vibes all around 💫

PEMF is one more tool we use at Revive & Thrive to help dogs feel better naturally, without medications, sedation, or invasive procedures.

Curious if PEMF could help your dog thrive? 🐶

Working dogs don’t just work, they give everything.

From detection to patrol, search and rescue to protection, these dogs perform under pressure every day, using their bodies and minds with unmatched intensity.

But what happens after the job is done?

At Revive & Thrive Canine Wellness, we believe real support means more than just keeping them operational, it means helping them recover, stay resilient, and thrive long-term.

Because pushing through isn’t a wellness plan.
And burnout doesn’t have to be inevitable.

🌿 Holistic recovery
🌿 Injury prevention
🌿 Physical + mental longevity

Every shift they give their all. Let’s give something back.

Professionals vs. Social Media: Let’s Talk About Your Pet’s Health

Influencers are so cool these days.

They’ve got the trending reels, catchy tips, and pretty graphics that make everything look easy. But a lot of what they share is exactly what their affiliates (their paychecks) want them to say. It’s often repeated from somewhere else, without real understanding of when, why, or how it applies.

And it’s not just influencers.

Scroll any Facebook group or Reddit thread and you’ll find endless free advice from people telling you what supplement, protocol, or diet “worked for them.”

They mean well. But here’s the thing:

🚩 Free advice doesn’t automatically mean good advice.
🚩 What helped one dog might actually harm yours.
🚩 Without knowing your pet’s full history, lifestyle, and current health, advice is just noise, and sometimes dangerous noise.

Social media makes everything look quick and easy, but your pet’s health deserves more than trends and repeated advice for clicks.

Holistic pet health is about your pet; their needs, their challenges, and what’s safe and effective for them.

✅ Professionals have put in the hours, certifications, and hands-on work to learn how to guide you responsibly.
✅ We’ve studied, tested, and continued learning because your pet’s well-being matters more to us than likes and shares.
✅ We care about outcomes, not algorithms.
✅ If we recommend a product, it’s because we’ve tried it first or have seen firsthand how it affects pets.

Know who you’re getting your answers from. Research their background and education before putting trust into their “advice.”

Sure, influencers and group threads are fun to scroll, but when it comes to your pet’s health?

Your pet deserves guidance from someone who’s done the work, not just someone who talks about it online.

Your pet’s health is worth investing in the right support.

I want to share a personal update about Buddy, my mom’s sweet 10-year-old basset hound, who’s been on a challenging journey since April.

It started when my mom noticed small drops of blood and dried blood around Buddy’s p***s. After several vet visits, bloodwork, ultrasounds, and a urine test, we got the difficult news: Buddy has transitional cell carcinoma (urothelial carcinoma), a form of prostate cancer. Unremovable and untreatable for a cure.

The first oncologist gave us some hard numbers to consider: without treatment, Buddy might have 2 to 4 months; with piroxicam (NSAID), which we started right away, maybe 4 to 6 months; and with chemo or radiation, possibly 6 to 8 months.

We immediately put Buddy on the same integrative protocol that a dear family friend and former client, Kairi, has been on. Kairi was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma two years ago and was given about 300 days. And thanks to her integrative care plan, including the Yale vaccine, she’s still cancer free and living life to the fullest.

Today we were able to get Buddy in with the integrative oncologist we trust (the same one caring for Kairi). During Buddy’s exam, she confirmed that the protocol we’re using is a good fit for him, and that chemo remains an option down the road if needed.

But here’s a hopeful twist we weren’t expecting: Buddy is actually a candidate for the Yale vaccine, the same immunotherapy that has helped keep Kairi cancer free.

We’ve decided to move forward with the vaccine and will monitor him closely. For now, Buddy is his happy, loving self, showing no signs of illness aside from some discolored p*e (pressure the mass on his prostate is putting on his urinary tract).

And something that felt like a little sign of hope - after checking in at the oncologist’s office today, the song Rhiannon started playing in the waiting room. That’s the song I named my Doberman Rhia after, to honor my dad. Somehow, it always seems to play when something important is happening.

We’re holding onto hope, gratitude, and the reminder that the work we do matters - for our clients, and for the animals we love most.

🎆 Fireworks can be terrifying for many dogs. 💥🐶

The loud booms, flashes, and vibrations can trigger anxiety, trembling, hiding, and excessive barking. For some dogs, the stress can last well beyond the fireworks themselves, affecting sleep, digestion, and overall well-being. 😢

As summer fireworks season ramps up, it’s important to have a plan to help your dog cope. Sometimes, medication or sedation is necessary, and that’s okay. But there are also holistic strategies that can support your dog before, during, and after fireworks to reduce fear and help them recover more quickly.

🌿 Creating a safe space, using calming remedies, preparing your environment, and supporting your dog’s nervous system naturally can all make a difference.

🐾 Dogs don’t have to suffer through fireworks season alone, and you don’t have to feel helpless.

✨ Read more below on practical, natural ways to help your dog feel safer this fireworks season. ⬇️
