Cat Lane, Dip. CFN, Chartered Herbalist
Since 2001 I have worked with around 8500 cases, averaging around 400 Full Service cases per year. The Full Service provides clients with an intensive diet and herbal consultation that involves the development of several recipes and herbal protocols and includes support during transition, as well as follow up to ensure the protocols are successful. In addition, I do online and in-person herbal consults of a more straightforward nature, which do not involve as much time as the intensive option, on average another 3oo to 400 per year. This includes proactive diets for healthy adult dogs, growth and senior diets, specialized dietary care for conditions including, but not limited to cancer, allergy, IBD, liver disease, kidney disease, uroliths of all types, osteoarthritis, various forms of heart disease, Cushing’s disease, Addison’s disease, diabetes, pancreatitis and obesity, as well as specialized diets for performance dogs. This work is not just my livelihood, but my passion and calling. I continue to update my knowledge with current courses, webinars and research, in order to provide clients with the most current findings in the very best interest of their dog.

Herbal Nervines
This is a topic that has come up many, many times on all the groups and lists I've been part of over the past decade; how can we use herbs to help our nervous, hyperactive, thunderphobic, stressed out dogs? I've written a fair bit here, and elsewhere, on how to adjust...
Enhancing a Kibble Diet
So, with about 25 topics in the drafts folder and a bunch of assignments to mark today, I feel a pressing need to add this entry. It's mostly because I am asked about it all the time, because I have strong feelings about this, but also, well sometimes the spirit just...
Arsenic in rice? Sadly – yes there is.
I've been asked many times over the past month or so if I can comment on the problems with arsenic in rice, especially brown rice, and what should those who home- prepare a diet with rice do about it. I am taking the arsenic issue very seriously but as always, or most...
Supplements revisited
A few entries back I posted a cursory look at supplementation for canines - dividing them into Essential, General and Targeted. I find a great number of my clients present with (on the Intake form) a list of supplements they are adding, but often they've missed the...
