Holistic Pet Journey

Join me on my new adventure into holistic pet care. I'm no animal health professional and will never claim to be. I'm simply sharing what I've been learning along the way.

I believe in natural ways to help our beloved pets. Traditional veterinary approaches don't always work, and they can be costly.

Pet insurance, while highly recommended for unforeseen issues, can add up over time. It's an investment worth considering for future problems that may—and most likely will—occur.

There are veterinarians who support the holistic approach, but they can be hard to find.

That’s why this blog exists—to share insights and discoveries that might help you make informed decisions for your furry family members. Each post is a reflection of my learning journey, not professional advice, so take what resonates with you and leave the rest.

Today, I learned that many pet owners use baking soda and coconut oil for their dogs' dental care.

While there are plenty of commercial pet toothpastes available, some are filled with questionable chemicals.

Thankfully, there are natural options made with plant-based ingredients and essential oils. It's all about checking the labels to find products that align with your holistic values.

Based on what pet owners are saying across Facebook groups, Reddit threads, and Quora discussions, many who switch to plant-based toothpaste for their dogs appreciate that these products avoid harsh chemicals and synthetic additives. Ingredients like coconut oil, aloe vera, and various plant extracts are gentle on gums, help freshen breath, and may even improve overall oral health.
