Client Love
I'm so grateful for Susan's unwavering support for Terry dog. He came to me as an adult, with several challenges, and a mostly unknown history. He was clearly anxious and had been used for protection. Initially Susan suggested a raw natural diet, targeted nutritional supplements and behavioural modifications (for me, as well as Terry!). Then he was ready for a purpose, and that was us learning scent work. He thrived on this for nearly 5 years, with acupuncture and dietary modifications as needed. After being viciously attacked by another dog, he became stiff, sore and very anxious, particularly around home trying to protect me from welcome visitors. His coat was balding and greasy, with a severe fungal skin condition and his ears suffered badly. I thought we had reached the end, but Susan gave him another lease of life. Using her skills to combine acupuncture, nutritional balancing, relationship balancing and microbiome restoration. His gut health was key and he is currently a senior dog, active with a good skin condition and a more relaxed zest for life. I can't thank you enough, Susan
