Barking Better strives to coach struggling or new dog parents to achieve a healthier, longer, and happier life for their fur baby. More and more dogs are suffering from allergies, diabetes, (chronic) diseases, and cancer than ever before, even at a young age. I want to support overwhelmed pet parents in making educated choices tailored to the individual pet.
I am a Certified Holistic Pet Health Coach and also certified in Pet CPR. I’m also a First Responder and can help with from bandaging a wound to what to do if a pet gets into poison. I also have access to a wonderful network of other Holistic Pet Health Coaches and weekly coaching calls with Dr. Ruth Roberts. If I cannot help you – I’ll let you know and find someone who can.
Dogs Are My Passion
I'm a caring, full-blooded dog mom like you! From a puppy born with Hip Dysplasia to managing an aging dog with CCD (sundowners) and tumors, I've been there. And I can guide you through your dog's challenges. I'm here to help you give your best friend the care it needs and deserves. I'm here. I listen. And I care.
I Create A Safe Space
I thrive to create safe place, where you feel heard and not judged. We will cover all your questions and I will take the time you need. I'm always approachable and no question is too "stupid", so don't hold back with your concerns.
Our Calls Are About You!
Your dog and concerns will be the main focus. Getting any kind of diagnosis is scary - often there are only a few options like "wait and see", surgery, or medication. I'm here to address any concerns you have and I have the knowledge and tools to support your dog and alleviate potential pain. It's important to address the root cause, not just treat the symptoms. If you decide to work with me, rest assured that I'll be available and listen. We will also only do what you're most comfortable with implementing.
Important:
I will not push anything on you. When it comes to the nutrition part, I’ll go with whatever you’re comfortable with. My job is to educate you so you can make the best choices for you and your pooch. But if you made it this far down here – You are ready to take matters into your own hands and provide your dog with the best life possible!

I firmly believe that each pet should be looked at as the individual it is to have its unique needs met. Change and well-being start from within. Together, we can devise a personalized plan that includes healthy dietary lifestyle changes that suit your dog’s needs and make you, as your pet advocate, comfortable. My goal is to help you feel confident to provide your dog with the quality of life it deserves.
Penny taught me so much, and I realize that many dog parents experience the same helplessness; that’s why I want to be part of the solution and help dog owners who face similar issues find the proper care to support their pets.
