"I look at it as a form of energy work because light, different colors, the sun is a form of energy and it's very therapeutic. We all know that it creates infrared light, which increases vitamin D levels. And so it actually, contrary to popular belief, it can be a very therapeutic modality."

"I really just wonder if a lot of modern dogs aren't getting the right kind of fiber in their diet. And that addition alone can really help kind of keep things regular. Because perfect poop doesn't necessarily signal perfect digestion. But it's definitely a clue."

" Dogs have one of the fastest digestive tracts of any living mammal. They have a very short, small intestine. And so if the food is coming in too fast, it doesn't have time in the small intestine for the nutrients to be absorbed. So, fast eating is reported as a problem by over 50% of consumers."

"A lot of times, it's from the standpoint that we're pushing our mentality, our belief system, onto our dog, because this is how we do it. We think we should just do it with them. But what I try to explain is that the certain body postures you're using are what's pushing your dog over the limit right now."

"Palliative care is where there's things that we can still do to elevate their days and maybe treat their disease, their illness, and slow the processes of these things. And then when we get into hospice, that's just providing as much comfort and taking away their pain as we get ready for them to transition."

"I think we need to be a little discerning about when and how to use antibiotics in Vet Med. So let's make sure that we're using them in the right application and not necessarily for a virus or yeast, which antibiotics do nothing for and really just do more to knock out the microbiome."

"When you watch your pet, you switch their food to whatever it is and they're just not thriving. They're not doing well. They don't want to eat it. To me, all of that is an indication that it's not making them feel well, that it's probably not the food that they should be having."

"I want people to come away with this not being afraid to adopt or rescue a pet that has had some challenges health-wise or diet. Because the difference that it makes when you introduce that and you help bring health and vitality back to them, it brings tears to your eyes."

"I test every one of my patients for nutrient deficiencies. Even at a year of age, over 80% of these animals have multiple deficiencies in the actual deficient range. And a majority of them are below the mean. The mean is what they say is the average that the average population should be at"

"We're all connected all the time. It doesn't matter if we're physically present or we're not. There is something that still is connecting us, the end is not just the end. We still have each other. Our animals are here. There is still that energy imprint there. There's still that love."

"And a lot of the animals, they're identifying with it (the tonal energy) and it's something that's helping them to ground—It's something that they're finding more peace because it's blocking out the external world for them—and keeps them safe and peaceful and they feel like they're in a sound cocoon."

"Heartworm medicine is actually a pesticide, which is a neurotoxin— I’m not going to give any poison to my animals. Vaccines have additives that can be dangerous—aluminum, thimerosal—and they trigger your immune system into overdrive."

"The number one sign of stress that cat parents overlook is lack of play. A bored cat is a stressed cat. And we didn’t learn this until we had cats that we thought just didn’t like to play. If we don’t engage them, they become anxious and unwell."

“Knowledge is power. It’s helped me spot things in my animals that even my vet didn’t see. When you know what your healthy pet looks like, you’ll be the first to know before anyone else would notice."

"Holistic doesn’t mean only natural. It means looking at the whole picture—diet, exercise, behavior, environment, and emotional connection."
