Philosophy

I have seen the total transformation that a biologiocally appropriate, holistic approach to health can induce in dogs and it is nothing short of miraculous for people that have only had experience with traditional veterinary medicine.


Natural health and nutrition have been a way of life for me for some time, but prior to living with a dog, I had not given any thought to what they ate, let alone their mental well-being. Enter, a beautiful,  8 year-old German Shepherd who had been plagued with allergies for years and was beginning to exhibit hip issues.  I began to read avidly about dog health, physiology and breeding.  With the help of a team of holistic practitioners who were very forward-thinking, we helped his body heal itself from within and he was restored to vibrant health. 

There is also an environmental benefit to preparing your dog's food at home, which speaks to me. There is reduced packaging and therefore less waste, as well as a reduction in fuel consumption that results when you shop for your whole family at the same store. You'll also utilize fruit and vegetable scraps, raw, fatty cuttings, chicken organs, necks and parts that you might normally throw away.  When you choose organic, grass-fed and pastured meats, especially from local farms, you are also making a sustainable choice and supporting humane treatment for the animals involved.


I feel driven to share what I learned and my career background as a public relations executive inspired me to launch a company that would help me reach more dogs by standing out from the pack and delivering above and beyond service. 

I believe a truly holistic approach to canine health includes the peace of mind of their human companions, and Zen Dog Walker is dedicated to providing reasonable pricing, reliabilty and a level of professionalism that puts our clients at ease.
