Heartfelt Feedback from the Northern Hound Pack

---

I just want to say thank you so much, Nicole. Your knowledge and home-cooked recipes saved my baby’s life.

She was un-diagnosed and had the vets stumped. She was losing weight rapidly, her bones were protruding, and she was shedding excessively. Her coat had become oily and yeasty, and there wasn’t much left of it as she scratched herself raw. I tried the vet-prescribed food, but it didn’t help. The vet suspected a food allergy and insisted I switch her to a fish-based diet. That helped for a short time, but within weeks her condition worsened—she became lethargic and didn’t want to move at all. I thought I was going to lose her.

A friend of mine knew Nicole, a holistic pet health coach and canine nutritionist, and suggested I reach out to her. As a last-ditch effort to save my baby girl, I contacted Nicole.

From the first conversation, Nicole was so kind and compassionate—she really cared about my baby girl! She was incredibly thorough and listened to everything I had to say. She came up with a treatment plan, and I was optimistic and eager to try anything. She put Luna on a rotating home-cooked diet, and within just a few days, Luna’s energy returned, and she was cuddly again. In just one week, she had gained back weight and returned to her healthy size. Over the next few weeks, her coat became less oily, the scratching stopped, and the yeast buildup on her skin disappeared. She was bounding around, eager to play! The awful smell was gone, and I had my baby back.

Best of all, Luna is now happily healthy and loves to bug me for cuddles, which I always happily oblige. 🙂

Luna is 4 years old, and I truly thought I was going to lose her. Thank you again, so very much! I am amazed every day by her complete turnaround, and I thank the heavens for meeting you. Thank you for caring about and loving my baby!

With love and gratefulness

I had the pleasure of working with Nicole to enhance my dog's nutrition. She provided invaluable advice as I transitioned back to raw feeding for one of my dogs, who has allergies and Struvite Crystals in her urine, after exhausting all veterinary recommendations and my own research. Nicole offered a detailed plan outlining the changes and supplements needed to create a more balanced diet for my girl, as traditional raw feeding isn't an option due to her protein limitations.

Following some of Nicole's recommendations, we've seen improvements: adding fish oils and changing probiotics have helped manage her condition. So far, her Struvite Crystals haven't become severe or caused pain. We plan to revisit the vet and get new urinalysis in the new year to see if we're successfully managing her condition with these diet changes.

Nicole, with Northern Hound Holistic, is truly a blessing to our community. I’ve known Nicole for many years, and her passion for health and dogs always shines through. When I found out she was enrolled in schooling for holistic nutrition, I reached out about my own 15-year-old dog. I had been cooking meals for my dogs for the past three years with my own limited knowledge and was looking to add more natural supplements to her diet instead of just relying on prescribed medications.

Nicole took a comprehensive history and made recommendations that were wonderfully explained to me, and I never felt pressured to purchase anything. I’m happy to report that JJ is doing fantastic with the addition of the supplements Nicole recommended, and I’ve even been able to reduce the amount of pain medications she takes daily.

If you’re looking for a more holistic approach to your dog’s health, or want to add more fresh foods to their diet, I highly recommend contacting Nicole to discuss options that will fit your specific needs.

I’ve known Nicole from Northern Hound Holistic for over 7 years, and she continues to be one of the most inspiring women I’ve ever met! She’s a dedicated mother, a fantastic cook, and a passionate pet owner. We connected over our shared love of food and animals, and I've been amazed by her dedication to canine wellness. When it comes to dogs, Nicole’s knowledge is unmatched—whether it’s training, nutrition, or health concerns. She’s my go-to for pet advice, always offering insight before I even think about calling the vet!
