We begin by taking a deep dive into every detail about your dog. I provide a holistic view of their health using both Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) and Western Medicine. This type of approach goes beyond conventional assessments and offers insights into the physical and non-physical elements that influence your dog's well-being.
I rely on Western nutritional medicine and TCVM Food Therapy to select foods that align with your dog's constitution to help guide their body back to a state of balance. Knowing the effects food can have on the body is a powerful tool when it comes to nutritional medicine.
You will receive an in-depth survey to fill out at least 24 hours prior to our zoom call - this is so I can spend at least a day preparing, studying, and formulating before meeting.
Recipes are formulated using nutritional software that allows me to be precise and intentional with the ingredients, vitamins, minerals, etc. in the recipe. I formulate to meet or exceed AAFCO's standards with a primary focus on using whole foods when possible.
The result is a personalized recipe that is not only nutritionally complete and balanced, but one that also resonates with your dog's TCVM profile, supporting their well-being on multiple levels.
Zoom Call:
- We will go over the process, the survey you filled out, the recipe, food recommendations, and any supplement needs. We'll also discuss TCVM principals and how they apply to your dog.
- I will then finalize the recipe, food and supplement recommendations and email you the file.
- After our first call, you will feel confident in preparing your dog's food with natural whole food ingredients (if you aren't already). Additionally, you'll leave with knowledge pertaining to TCVM and how it can be used to make sure your dog is thriving and in harmony.
Ongoing support:
To ensure your and your dog's ongoing success, I will continue to support you beyond our zoom call with follow up emails for 4-6 months.*
