Hi Kari,
It sounds like poor Koda is allergic to grass(es). I would start with seeing if baths immediately after playing in the park helps. Perhaps if you get the allergens off his skin ASAP his body won't have the chance to react to them? I wonde...
I really like Dogwood Pet Hospital out in Gresham, though they're not completely holistic, they are very open, and do acupuncture and western herbs there as well. I've heard good things from my clients about Hawthorne Vet Clinic, though I don't kn...

A few acupressure points you can do on your pets at home!
Most pets like acupuncture, but everyone loves acupressure! Acupressure is like very specific petting, which pet wouldn't love that? Today I'm going to give you a few safe, but effective points that you can massage on your pets at home! Leila, my cat, LOVES to have these points massaged!
Before starting any acupressure on your pet, make sure that both you and your pet are in a relaxed state. Talk to your pet, tell them how good this is going to feel and how awesome they'll feel afterward! Alway… Continue

Allergies
According to a study published in the journal Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, Acupuncture might ease hay fever symptoms. Though this study was done with humans, I've found that I get GREAT results with pets as well! In fact, I find that pets in general respond much quicker to energy medicine than their human counterparts.

- Hi Becca,
My sister says Shasta has all those things you mentioned. She likes to sleep outside, she is losing some of her sight and hearing and I'm not sure about the pain. I'll keep a watch. Thanks so much for your thoughtful answer.
Any suggestions that would help solve the anxiety. Mys sister is very good about taking her to the vet when needed.
Again, thanks Becca.

- Becca,
My sister has an elderly 16 year old Australian Shepard named Shasta. She gets very anxious, pants a lot and I was wondering if you had any ideas to help her be calmer. I'm going to be watching Shasta for a week so I'll have a better idea of what's up with her and can tell you more. Shasta lives in Palo Alto, CA so this is a long distance learning request.
Thanks,
Andrea

Liz Savage said… - Hi Becca, thanks for the message, your pups are gorgeous! I was lucky to be the co-parent of a shepherd/collie mix for a couple of years. How old is Winter? I'll have to post some pics of Toby so you can see the similarity!
Thanks,
Liz

- Great to be here, Becca! Love this site. Amy Sacks at Pixie Project shelter turned me on to it. We are doing a big portrait benefit at Pixie for them on Feb. 7th with all proceeds going to their operation costs. You should come! I'd love to meet you and your pup!
