My name is Helga Schmitt and I continually strive to educate and help dog owners that there are healthier and more natural approaches to achieving and maintaining optimum health for your pet. I have studied and researched  many conditions and diseases that inflict our dogs, and can honestly say that there are many answers out there for everything, but which ones actually work is the question. Based on the fact that I have had numerous success with my  four legged furry friends, I would like to share these successes  and information with you.

We need to understand that there are so many more options available today for dealing with the illnesses our pets are getting. Many of these conditions are identical to what humans experience and are in fact the same diseases. So if the illnesses are the same and the options are available to help people, it stands to reason that dogs would reap the same benefit from those options. Having an open mind to approaches that we are not familiar with could be the difference that alleviates all the suffering without all the drugs and side effects.

From dog cancer to dog acl surgery, and from dogs with arthritis to working with hydrotherapy for dogs, all of these have penetrated my life. Dogs are hugely important to me because they fill our souls with love and laughter, warmth and life. It seems we can connect with dogs so easily, tell them our stories, laugh with them and get lost in their unconditional love. It is for this reason that I strive to find what the best treatment is with any condition they may have and all for a very selfish reason; I want them to stay in our lives a whole lot longer! I have witnessed first-hand what over-vaccination, repeated antibiotics and countless prescribed drugs can do to our beloved pets.  I won’t go there ever again and choose to follow a more natural and effective way of dealing with my dog’s health and well-being.

Dogs and health have always been a passion of mine ever since I can remember.  I am a Chartered Herbalist and hold a degree in Holistic Nutrition as well as a Certificate in Homeopathy. I am a Certified Canine Hydrotherapist from attending training in the UK at Greyfriars Rehabilitation and Hydrotherapy Referral Centre. I am registered through NARCH (National Association of Registered Canine Hydrotherapists).  I have been a volunteer with the PQSPCA for 8 years and started as a dog walker, then trainer and now do adoption follow up calls to ensure the best for the dog and the parents, and offer any guidance and support. I am forever studying and learning about new healing modalities for ourselves and our canine companions.It seems like once you start learning you just can’t stop!  What I  learned from  experience, research, my past studies and having the benefit of  Holistic Veterinarians has profoundly changed my pets’ lives as well as mine!

My amazing journey with my dogs has led me through multiple cruciate surgeries, two devastating cancers, cysts, lympomas, life-threatening staph infections, Cushing’s disease, immune mediated poly-arthritis, seizures, strokes, digestive disturbances, pica, cognitive impairment, depression, vision loss, and grief. My dogs’ have taught me  amazing insights in the way of healing, unconditional love, compassion, the bond between human and animal and how being in the moment is irreplaceable.

I hope you will join me in this quest for knowledge and discover alternative, safe, effective, and natural treatments for health for dogs. In my ebook, “The Ultimate Rehabilitation & Physiotherapy Guide for Dogs“ you will discover hundreds of safe and natural methods for many dog health conditions.

“Lord help me be the person my dog thinks I am.”
