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.
