Through all the confusion about what is best for your dog, you continue to show up for them, learn and never stop searching for the best solutions to keep them healthy and safe.

I don’t doubt you do the absolute best you can.

And yes, our dogs give us so much in return—but I want you to know they are incredibly lucky to have you.

So if you ever feel like your dog is trying to tell you something… and wish you spoke fluent woof?

Well, the truth is—you kind of do. You understand what they are saying without using words.

I’m also grateful to be part of your journey, seeing myself as a “translator/vet”, passing on the messages and lessons they have taught me in more than 35 years of being a vet.

From tips to prevent bloat, helping your senior dog stay mobile, to stopping those yeasty ears from coming back—theres always something to decode.

Thats exactly why I love putting these monthly recaps together: to help you feel more confident, less overwhelmed, and even more connected with your best friend.

GreenMin H+ – Plant-Based Mineral Support for You and Your Dog

This month, I want to share a story that really hit home for me.

A friend of mine — lets call her Beverly — was always vibrant and full of life. But this past summer, everything changed. She was diagnosed with multiple spinal fractures due to severe osteoporosis.

Despite knowing that Alga Calcarea — a key ingredient in GreenMin H+ — has been proven to increase bone density by over 7% in 7 years, I hesitated to come across too pushy.

But her story was a powerful reminder of why I created this product — to support strong bones, healthy joints, and longevity in both people and dogs, before issues like these arise.

So, Im speaking up today.

If you or your dog are starting to feel the effects of aging, or even better, want to stay ahead of them, click on the link below to learn more about GreenMin H+ and support your body the best way you can.
