Hi my dog-lovers!
There is so much I want to share with you in this monthly update. Let’s dive right in.
The 3 Most Important Updates This Month
The collar–cancer connection: What I have seen for 20 years, and what science just confirmed
For most of my career, I noticed a pattern that I couldn’t fully explain — collar injuries, back injuries, and nerve trauma seemed to lead to tumours in the areas adjacent to the damaged segment. I shared this concern with clients for years. But the science wasn’t there to back me up.
Until now.
A new study just confirmed what I observed. And I cannot quite describe the relief I felt reading it.

Your Dog’s Liver Could Use Some Support
Artichokes for dogs: The ancient superfood your dog’s liver will thank you for
The liver is asked to do a great deal in the modern dog — filtering toxins, processing medications, managing the downstream effects of a heavily processed world.
Artichoke has been used medicinally for thousands of years. The science behind its liver-supporting compounds is genuinely impressive. This article explains why I love it so much and why I added it in my detox and liver formula – LiverTune.

A plant most people pull out of the garden…
Dandelion: A surprisingly powerful ally for your dog’s liver
Before you reach for the weed killer this spring — read this.

Get to know two more vets!
Dr. Sally Armstrong – The veterinary medicine trailblazer and wildlife conservation vet.
Dr. Sally Armstrong’s journey was nothing but straight forward. After graduating from vet school in Australia, she lived in Sri Lanka, then in United Arab Emirate before she finally moved to where her heart guided her.
This interview is definitely worth watching or listening to.
Dr. Lynda Loudon – an emergency vet who helps people to say goodbye.
She has accompanied hundreds of families through the hardest moments. What inspires me is her wisdom, and genuine care for her patients. As a former emergency veterinarian, she has tons of experience with guiding people through the most difficult situations and I can attest, she does it beautifully.
Let her inspire you and give you the peace of mind you deserve.
We Used AI to Settle an Argument… It Actually Worked
Some people love AI, and others hate it. I am somewhere in the middle and am curiously open to testing its limits.
I have tried to use it in a little disagreement, and the experiment brought surprising results

GreenMin — The Plant-Based Mineral Supplement Built for the Modern Dog
As a little kid, I loved picture books so here is something a little different today. Here is some info about one of the first products I formulated.
There is something many people do not realize.
Even the best diets — carefully formulated, lovingly prepared — are made from ingredients grown in soils that have been overused and depleted of minerals and other nutrients for generations.
What is not in the soil cannot be in the food. No matter how good the recipe.
And because we can’t build a house without building blocks and supplies, neither the body can’t grow and thrive without minerals and amino acids.
I formulated GreenMin to fill that gap. It is a certified organic, plant-based mineral blend sourced from two of nature’s most nutrient-dense foods — Alga Calcarea and California Spirulina — delivering over 20 trace elements in forms your dog’s body can actually recognize and absorb.
Not synthetic mineral isolates. Whole plant ingredients. Inspired by nature.
Minerals are involved in virtually every biological process — from nerve signalling to immune response to joint integrity. When they are quietly missing, the effects are subtle at first.
Until they are not.
I kept seeing dogs on beautiful, carefully prepared diets who were still missing something. The food was good. The soil it came from was not. That distinction matters more than most people realize.
GreenMin is certified organic, human-grade, and the mineral support I personally give to every dog in my care.

For complete foundational nutrition, GreenMin® pairs beautifully with SoulFood® (fermented multivitamin), FeelGood Omega® (essential fatty acids), and GutSense® (probiotics) — all available together as the Fab4 Bundle. This is what I give to my dog Pax and I take in the H+ human version.
