Helping Dogs Thrive From the Inside Out
Want practical guidance on what to feed or how to prepare a complete & balanced diet?
Curious to explore natural options to support your dog’s health?
I’m Dr. Shirley, a veterinarian and holistic pet health coach. I help dog parents build a practical plan for their dog’s health through nutrition and a whole-dog, whole-family, whole-life approach.
No matter where your dog is on their health journey, together we can find a path towards better health and well-being.
NUTRITION firstBUILD A STRONG FOUNDATION
Minimally processed, whole-food recipes thoughtfully created.
Movement
Mobility and strength are essential to quality of life. Stay active, playful, and comfortable through every stage of life.
Mental Well-Being
A healthy mind matters. Supporting emotional well-being through enrichment, play, jobs, quality sleep, loving relationships, and reducing stress and anxiety.
Toxin Reduction
Less unnecessary exposure. Reducing internal and external sources of chemicals and toxins that may place additional stress on your dog’s body.
The small things matterSmall, thoughtful changes, guided by a better understanding of your dog’s individual needs, can add up to a big difference

What Clients Are Saying
“We feel so lucky to have Dr. Shirley care for our sweet Yoko. She truly takes her time, listens, explains everything clearly, and always makes space for our questions. What we appreciate most is that she goes beyond treating symptoms and genuinely looks for the root cause and long-term solutions. Her knowledge, compassion, and genuine care for animals really set her apart. We couldn’t recommend her more.” - Vaza
“Dr. Shirley was an instrumental part of guiding us through the very complex and overwhelming process of navigating care of our young Doberman, Nela, after she was diagnosed with lymphoma. Dr. Shirley coached us through the last three months of Nela's life and she thrived on her new regimen until the very end.
We appreciate Dr. Shirley so much for all the time, effort and energy she put into helping us give Nela the highest level of care during this time of need; May she rest in doggy heaven, happily running through all the grassy fields and sandy beaches.” - Steph
"We adopted our border collie at six as he was starting to slow down at the cattle ranch. He came to us anxious and unfamiliar with his new life.
Dr. Shirley asked many questions, listened closely and built her suggestions around what we'd actually seen in him, rather than handing us a generic plan.
At a stage when our dog was going through an enormous change, that conversation was invaluable. I'd recommend Dr. Shirley to anyone learning how to care for their dog in every part of life.” - Paul and Autym
