My Mission

Hi! I'm Allison and dogs are my life :) First and foremost, I am "Mom" to 3 rescue dogs: Carli, a Potcake from the Bahamas, Grace, a Potcake from Turks & Caicos and Flyer, a Jampup from Jamaica. I am a certified Canine Nutritionist and I am passionate about helping pet owners improve the health of their pets. I started my journey into natural pet health when my own dog, Carli, had a terrible reaction to chemical flea & tick treatment and developed allergies (food & environmental). I knew there had to a better way and now I specialize in helping pet owners wade through the vast amount of information and misinformation to become informed and active in their pet's health. I love to help pets who have health issues, by improving their diet and offering natural solutions to things like flea & tick control.
