After-work hangs with friends where you just… talk about life, you know? The human mind. Who we’re becoming. All the messy, beautiful stuff. 💫

And somewhere in the conversation tonight, this wave of gratitude just washed over me… because we were talking about safe spaces, about having people you can be real with. And my friends were like, “I wish I had that.”

And it hit me—one of the most precious gifts I’ve been given this year is finding my authentic self. The REAL me—not the version I thought I needed to be. And then (here’s the magic part ✨) actually giving her grace. Room to exist. Space to be imperfect and still worthy. Still enough.

But what made me feel so grateful tonight?

Being reminded that I have friends in my life where I can share what’s truly on my mind without that fear of judgment creeping in. Safe spaces like that are rare. Like, truly, deeply rare. 🤍

Sitting here now and I just feel so incredibly blessed. For these people. For this version of myself I’m finally making peace with. For moments like tonight that remind me what really matters. 💜✨

Omg so I loved attending The Feed Real Summit. The energy and the people are so amazing. I got to reconnect with people that I haven’t seen for a while, and I got to sit down for some soul-enriching one on one conversations.

I also thought it was so fun to see people in real life that I’ve only previously connected on zoom. Honestly nothing replaces the in-person connection.

I’ve got lots of takeaways and many cool ideas coming up. You will be hearing from me a lot more soon. But I wanted to share these pictures as they have brought me lots of smiles over the weekend. 🥰

I pretty much think I work to keep going to conferences, keep taking courses and trainings, and keep meeting and learning from cool people. 😆. And, I am wrapping up this third and last conference in the last month and this introvert is needing a bit of time to recharge. 🤗.

Big shout out to for their incredible work and relentless drive to put more nutrition information out to pet parents so we all have more options. 💜

The little girl inside of me would be so proud… 🥹

I think dreams have a way to manifest when you listen to your heart and keep taking the next steps.

Especially when it feels scary.
Especially when it feels hard.

I am also going to thank that little girl inside of me, who never gives up. Who looks at the world always with optimism and hope. And that she never stopped wanting to do better for the furry babies.

🩷 It’s just the beginning.

🦷 As vets, we know just how important daily brushing is for pets—periodontal disease is linked to kidney disease, heart disease, and chronic inflammation. Yikes.

But let’s be real—busy pet parents + pets who are not thrilled about brushing? A daily challenge 💁‍♀️

👉 Swipe for some practical tips to help pet parents keep their fur baby’s teeth healthy at home!

✨ And here’s the really exciting part...while traditional dental care focuses on plaque and tartar, newer approaches aim to balance the oral microbiome for better long-term health (yay science! 🧪✨).

This means pet parents can do so much to support dental health between professional cleanings that doesn’t involve a toothbrush! 🐶🐈🐾

Here are my go-to favorites that I wholeheartedly recommend:

🦷 Adored Beast Love Bugs @

(And thank you for that amazing recipe!)

🦷 1-TDC (1-TetraDecanol Complex) @

🦷 Teef Water Additive @

🦷 Pet Wellbeing Healthy Gums @

🦷 Four Legger Dental Powder @

🦷 Ozone therapy for gingivitis @ O3Vets

💡 Quick reminder: Please remind your pet parents to avoid toothpastes with surfactants, artificial flavors, and harmful ingredients like xylitol or other artificial sweeteners as they can be toxic to pets ☠️

Now, I’d LOVE to hear from you! What are your favorite dental care hacks for your patients?

Do you have a super itchy pet patient?

The root cause could be in their gut 🦠

A lot of our dogs and cats live modern lifestyles that include kibble, vaccines, and antibiotics—all of which negatively impact the microbiome…

(Note: I'm not saying we don’t need medication sometimes. We just have to be mindful of potential side effects.)

AND here’s the thing, our pet patients often weren’t born with a thriving microbiome either…

It depends on the lifestyles of the past five generations 🤯

Their mother, their grandmother, their great-grandmother, their great-great-grandmother, and their great-great-great-grandmother…🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕

And a disrupted microbiome is very often the cause of allergies, chronic skin infections, and a whole list of other issues—immune system dysregulation, arthritis, chronic gastrointestinal issues… new research is even showing a link between microbiome imbalances and cancer.

That’s why I want every vet in the world to know how to accurately test their pet patients’ microbiome, so…

I put together a step-by-step guide to make it simple and stress-free 💁‍♀️

In this guide, you’ll discover…

✨ How to test different microbiomes with confidence

✨ Which pets truly need testing (so you never miss a case)

✨ The labs I trust to give the best insights

✨ A clear, easy way to interpret dysbiosis using my dysbiosis index

Drop METHOD in the comments, and I’ll send it your way! 💖🦄

Amidst all the heaviness in the world right now, I find myself leaning into the little moments of beauty. 🌸✨

Sunsets are some of my best things in life, everywhere I go, every chance I get, and it’s sunset time, I’m looking out.

And every now and then, there’s one so stunning it feels like the universe is giving us a sign that what we want to manifest is on it’s way 💛

Wherever you are, I’m wishing you a sunsets that fill your heart with hope and remind you that beauty still exists—one moment, one day at a time. ☀️💖

Here’s what being in partnership with my pet parents means to me…

It means I take the time to listen to them (our appointments run 30 mins to 1 hour).

It means I listen to their ideas about what might be going on for their pet.

It means I discuss all the options with them and they get to decide what route they want to take.

I really feel this is a big part of what makes me “the Unicorn Vet” 💖🦄
