I've been wanting to write this one for a long time! Every bottle on my shelf - what it's for, who it's for, and how I dose it (hint: not the way the label says). The metronidazole replacement. The formula for the yeasty, itchy, lower-half dogs. The one I build every senior and hospice plan around. The wind-chaser for the allergy dogs who've tried everything topical. The stasis-breakers I don't hand out light - some of these herbs are blades. The old war wound powder I keep next to the CBD and Belladonna. Why the little white bottles got so hard to find - and why the "cancer-causing" talc on the label isn't what you think. And because you know I'll never just tell you WHAT to give: how to get it IN them. Crushed. Meatballs. Never the bowl - we do not molest their food! The dose that works isn't the dose on the label; a 90-pound Anatolian gets two little pearls. Twice a day. Less is always more, friends. The herbs come with a person. Chinese herbal teapills for dogs explained by a canine cancer doula: TCVM formulas, dosing, the no-food-bowl rule, and why the 2025 shortage emptied the shelves. Education only.

A canine cancer doula supports families from diagnosis through treatment, palliative care, hospice, end-of-life decisions, and grief. Learn how compassionate, individualized guidance can help you care for your dog while also supporting the needs of the entire household. “Why I Do This Work”, Because I have been through this more than once, hospice is a calling—not a job.

I know what it feels like to love a dog through illness, to become a caregiver, to make difficult decisions, and to experience the silence that follows when they are no longer physically beside you. Those experiences changed me. They shaped the way I support families and deepened my understanding of how much care is needed—not only for the dog, but also for the people who love them.
