What Does a Canine Cancer Doula Actually Do?
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.

Vitamin D and your Dogs Cancer
Over the years—caring for my own dogs and walking alongside clients whose dogs are facing cancer—I keep asking the same quiet question: is my dog truly getting what they need? I’ve also learned it’s okay to keep learning and to stay open to new information; a different perspective doesn’t mean the facts weren’t there—it just means we hadn’t seen them yet. For example, I only recently learned that many medicinal mushroom compounds have a half-life of about 10 to 12 hours, so giving them twice daily can help maintain their effects. We also know that medicinal mushrooms offer an abundance of Vitamin D.
It can be unsettling to learn that some commercial diets may miss essential vitamins while others oversupply them, risking toxicity—a confusing double-edged sword when …

Rotate Your Mushrooms!
Everything in moderation … Everything in ROTATION !
When it comes to the diet of our four legged kids, variety truly is the spice of life. Just like we benefit from a diverse range of foods, our pets thrive on it too. One area that deserves special attention is the inclusion of medicinal mushrooms in their diet. Shrooms are often celebrated for their health benefits—rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals— so if they are considered a whole food in supplement form…. Why is nobody rotating them? We know rotating proteins and veggies are a requirement … why not our medicinal mushrooms?

The Sea Cucumber, But “Anti-Carcinogenic”?
When Dolce was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of osteosarcoma, I came across the sea cucumber case studies in all of its glory. The issue however was, it was priced at 3000$ a pound. At that time I could barely afford to breathe, much less be able to support our boy with something like this. Fortunately, for you guys we’ve been able to find better resources for it, along with the correct species strain that is financially attainable. Just a few of the key benefits that will pertain to my readers are going to be arthritic support and more to the point apoptosis! With 1200 species of Sea cucumber, trust me the search for the right one can be difficult to find. Most products on the market are a species specifically that targets just pain and arthritic support, the Sea cucumber we require is the Holothuria Leucos which is not only useful as an anti inflammatory but its also been accredited for its use in attacking cancerous cells. While I use this religiously in many of my cancers, one of the main ones I use it for as a heavy hitter is for my osteosarcoma canine and feline clients. Here is just a short list of benefits:
