Hello there

Hi, I'm Michelle

Animals were my first love. As a teenager I was headed for vet school, working alongside a holistic vet and soaking up everything I could, right down to serving as head research assistant on the Clinical Handbook of Chinese Veterinary Herbal Medicine (Signe Beebe, DVM, Michael Salewski, DVM, Lorena Monda, DOM, and John Scott, DOM).

Life pointed me toward people for a while. I became a naturopathic doctor and Chinese medicine practitioner, and for almost eight years I've helped doctors, nurses, naturopaths, chiropractors, physical therapists, and nutritionists bring their life-changing work to the online world.

Now I'm coming full circle, back to where it all started. Furry Farmacy is where I bring it together, everything I've learned about natural, whole-body wellness, and pass it along to the people who love their animals as much as I love mine. Bruno (aka my señor good boy, sweet pea, peanut, bean, bean tree, sweet bean, beancake, brunillo, brunice) fully endorses this.

Good questions

Questions, answered

The honest answers to what dog and cat parents ask us most.

Is this a replacement for my vet?

No, and it never will be. Furry Farmacy is educational and naturally-minded, built to work alongside your veterinarian rather than in place of one. Everything here is a starting point for gentle everyday support and prevention. Diagnosing and treating is your vet's job, and a good holistic vet will happily do both. (Looking for one? Find one near you here.)

Is this for dogs, cats, or both?

Both, and we treat them as the different animals they are. Cats have their own biology (plenty of things that are fine for a dog can harm a cat), so cat guidance is written for cats, never borrowed from the dog version. Everything is tagged by pet, concern, and life stage so you land in the right place fast.

Are natural remedies safe for my pet?

When they're chosen thoughtfully and matched to the right animal, gentle natural support can be a lovely everyday addition. The key word is thoughtfully. We stick to supporting healthy function (think a healthy coat or a calmer baseline), flag cat-specific cautions clearly, and always tell you what to run past your vet first. When in doubt, leave it out and ask.

Do you cover puppies and kittens too?

Yes, from tiny to silver-whiskered. Natural care shifts with age, so everything is sorted by life stage (puppy and kitten, adult, and senior).
