ABOUT
Susanna Anthony
Susanna Anthony brings a rare blend of clinical expertise, holistic insight, and intuitive care to the world of animal wellness. With certifications in Clinical Pet Nutrition and Companion Animal Nutrition, she offers science-backed guidance rooted in natural healing principles.
Her hands-on experience spans years of work at a holistic sanctuary for senior and disabled animals, where she practiced a range of integrative modalities in a clinical setting. This immersive environment deepened her understanding of how nutrition, energy work, and behavioral support can transform an animal’s quality of life.
Susanna’s instinct for animal care is often described as uncanny — a gift honed through formal training and compassionate observation. She studied feline behavior at the San Francisco SPCA and is a Level 2 Reiki practitioner, offering remote energy healing to support emotional and physical balance. Her background as a veterinary technician adds another layer of insight, allowing her to interpret health histories and collaborate effectively with conventional and holistic practitioners.
At the heart of her practice is a belief in whole-animal wellness — where nutrition, behavior, and energy are harmonized to help pets thrive naturally.
OUR
SERVICES
NUTRITION
Discover how to safely and confidently transition your cat or dog to a more optimized diet — even if they’re picky eaters. We’ll guide you step-by-step through:
​
-
Understanding nutrition and diet options: Learn what a balanced home made raw or cooked diet includes and which essential nutrients carnivores need to thrive.
-
Enticing finicky pets: We know the tricks to help even the most selective eaters embrace healthier meals.
-
Supplementing wisely: Receive a balanced recipe for homemade supplements or explore ready-made alternatives that support optimal health.
-
Selecting/enhancing commercial diets: If you prefer to stick with store-bought food, we’ll recommend targeted additions that dramatically boost nutritional value and support long-term wellness.
​
Whether you're looking to refine your pet’s current diet, chose a better one or make one yourself, we’ll help you build a plan that’s safe, nourishing, and tailored to your animal’s unique needs.
HOLISTIC HEALTH CARE
Supporting Your Pet Through Illness — Naturally
There’s always something you can do to support your animal’s healing journey. While we are not veterinarians, we offer guidance on adjunctive, holistic treatment options that can complement conventional care for certain conditions. Our goal is to empower you with safe, natural strategies that enhance comfort, strengthen resilience, and promote overall well-being.
CAT BEHAVIOR
We bring extensive experience in addressing feline behavior issues — from aggression and anxiety to litter box avoidance and social withdrawal. Our approach blends behavioral insight with the gentle power of flower essence therapy, a natural modality that works on a deep energetic level to soothe emotional imbalances.
Most behavior problems stem from stress, trauma, or environmental disruption. Flower essences help calm the root cause, not just the symptoms, restoring harmony and emotional stability. This integrative method has proven especially effective for sensitive or misunderstood cats, offering relief that’s both natural and profound.
​
STARTING OUT RIGHT WITH YOUR NEW CAT OR DOG
​
Bringing a new animal into your life is a joyful milestone — and a meaningful responsibility. Whether you're welcoming a playful puppy, a curious kitten, or an adult rescue, understanding their unique needs from the start sets the foundation for lifelong health and harmony.
​
Whether you're navigating litter box training, choosing the right food, or building a bond with a shy rescue, Susanna’s consultations provide compassionate, personalized support rooted in years of experience and holistic wisdom.
END OF LIFE CARE
Comforting Your Animal Naturally at Home
When a beloved animal reaches the end of life, choosing in-home hospice care can be a deeply meaningful alternative to euthanasia. Supporting your pet through a natural dying process allows them to remain in the comfort of familiar surroundings, surrounded by love — and can bring peace and closure without the guilt many feel after euthanasia.
With years of experience in holistic animal hospice care, we’re here to gently guide you through this sacred time. With the blessing of your veterinarian, we’ll teach you how to provide comfort, manage symptoms naturally, and honor your animal’s final days with dignity and compassion.
You don’t have to walk this path alone — we’re here to help you make it a time of connection, grace, and love.
