The days get longer, the sun starts to warm us up, plants burst into life and there is a real sense of growth, movement and new beginnings.And our animals notice it too.You may find your dog suddenly has more energy, your cat becomes more interested in heading outdoors, or your animal simply seems a little different as winter gives way to spring.But what does that seasonal change actually mean for our animals?As an...

I can certainly remember going through it with Willow - in fact, I'm still slightly traumatised by it as it seemed to go on forever!When does puppy teething happen?Puppies are born without teeth, but their baby teeth begin to come through during the first few weeks of life. By around 6–8 weeks, most puppies will have their full set of baby teeth.The ne...

Winter can place extra stress on our pets too, from stiff joints and cracked paw pads to chilly winds, damp coats and dry skin.As an animal homeopath, these are some of the common seasonal concerns I see every year, especially with older pets or animals who are already dealing with ongoing health challenges.If you want to keep your dog or cat comfortable, healthy and thriving this winter, here are my favourite winter wellness tips....

It gave me space to reflect on the work I do, the animals I have worked with over the years, and the conversations I believe we still need to be having.The truth is, after years of working with animals through my clients, fostering rescue animals in my own home, and witnessing firsthand the impact of homeopathy, I'm finding it harder and harder to stay...

The reason? So many animal-guardians try homeopathic combination remedies, and the number is staggering and scary!Sometimes I literally have my mouth drop to the floor when I see how many combinations clients have tried or continue to try. Some have great success, while others don’t see the results they hoped for.Don’t get me wrong: there’s absolutely nothing wrong with combination remedies. They have their place in supporting an anim...

They trot in confidently, recognise familiar staff, enjoy the company of other animals, and settle quickly into the boarding routine.For other pets, however, staying in kennels or a cattery - especially for the first time - can be deeply unsettling.Why Kennels and Catteries Can Be Stressful for PetsImagine sud...

But for our pets, it can be an entirely different story.I remember when my dogs used to become so unsettled at the sound of constant door knocking and children shouting, “trick or treat!” Their bodies would tense, ears would perk, and every knock seemed to send a jolt through them. My cat, Harley, would vanish completely - usually retreating to his favour...

Left unaddressed, anxiety can deeply impact your dog's wellbeing, behaviour, and overall happiness.The most prevalent form? Separation anxiety. Whether it’s a few minutes or a few hours, many dogs struggle the moment their beloved humans walk out the door.What Causes Separation Anxiety in Dogs?Certain dog breeds are naturally more prone to anxiety, especially intelligent and high-energy w...

And it’s not just “bad behavior.”As an animal homeopath, I’m here to share something fascinating with you: when your dog or puppy eats indigestible objects, they might be telling you exactly what they need.Recently, I noticed my own 6-month-old puppy eating things like wood, pumice, and flax bushes. What looked like strange (and a little concern... Sun, 25 May 2025 14:25:17 +1200 http://www.wildremedy.co.nz/blog/#post145763
