What is a holistic approach?
Holistic health is an approach to wellness that simultaneously addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and social components of health.
So not only should you be concerned about socializing, exercising and enrichment, what they’re eating every day is a huge piece of that pie.
I consider feeding a fresh diet the most preventative care, and changing your dog’s food for the better can only aid in their overall health. Plus, switching over to a fresh food diet statistically reduces vet visits and eradicates chronic digestive and allergy issues!
Ingredients that are Health Driven.
Just like with people, everything you feed your dog has an impact on their overall wellness. If you eat junk food, you tend to feel yucky afterwards, or perhaps it causes a upset stomach. Some of us are so used to eating things that aren’t good for us, that we don’t even notice we are unwell until we change our diet and feel SO much better! Now imagine doing that for your furbaby!
So, if you feed your dog whole, nutritious, food and treats, they will be healthier as a whole. Their immune systems will be boosted, and aid them in fighting off illness and disease. Which is especially important if they frequent the dog park or day care! Their organs will have less toxins to filter out, and therefore, they will become more efficient. Saving you time and money at the vet’s office in the long run!
Every single ingredient I use is chosen for it’s beneficial & digestive qualities (and sometimes flavor…ehem bacon…bc dogs deserve to enjoy!). Sure, there are other ingredients dogs CAN have, but I’ve found that just because they can have them, doesn’t mean they are safe or well digested across the board. I also take into account dogs with health issues such as diabetes and pancreatitis that can’t have high sugar or fat content and we avoid them because healthy dogs don’t need them either!

Dog Treats, Cakes & Food with Integrity
Integrity comes first here, and health before aesthetics! So even though sugar might make it pretty, you’ll never find it in my products.
I give you my dog mom promise that every ingredient and item in our store and suggested in my YouTube show, has been tested in my own home and approved by me! I never add any sweeteners, even the hidden ones (tapioca, molasses, etc.) or artificial coloring. Sure, using cream cheese for the icing might make it a lot easier, but healthy? Absolutely not! Sugar feeds cancer and we are avoiding that at ALL costs. So make sure to download my app so you can ingredient check the next time you go to buy your dog’s favorite snack!
While daily feeding is super important, we also believe your dog deserves proper spoiling! I mean, I know usually healthy means ugly, but I found a way to make it pretty (it wasn’t easy). Dogs are my kids and celebrating is the joy of life! That’s why I created my treats and cake lines. After all, dogs are more fun to spoil than humans, aren’t they?!
