Cody

This beautiful 11-year-old boy had such a transformation in just one month! All with a switch to a lightly cooked fresh food, eliminating toxins, supporting a detox & treating his yeast issue topically.

His incredible guardian fully committed to his plan & embraced making his food, which he's now loving!

Cody's case just demonstrates that it's never too late to make changes to your dog's diet.

Feedback from Cody's guardian:

Stacey has been a massive help and life-safer with my dog Cody.

Cody had been suffering for years with ongoing ear infections, then this year he began getting spots on his coat which burst and left an inflamed sore patch with lots of dry skin forming all over his back, which subsequently made his fur fall out so he was covered in bald patches.
Constant vet visits and lots of money being paid for medication (which still to this day I've no idea what the medication was) cured him for about a couple of weeks then we were back to square one again.

I contacted Stacey because I was at my wits end, going round in circles not getting anywhere. After an initial consultation she advised to send some ear and skin samples off as she thought the issue could be yeast and in addition the food I was actually feeding him! Turns out she was 100% correct, pulled a plan together for me which included a clean, wholesome recipe that I could cook from scratch with step by step detail and recommended supplements, shampoo and oil.

Initially Cody was pretty sceptical and was hard to get on board so I had to feed him with a spoon! One month later, he enjoys it, eats it by himself, no ear scratching, no screaming in pain, the dry skin coming away and his bald patches starting to be replaced with new fur growing.

I cannot thank Stacey enough for her ongoing help and support, regularly checking in on any issues/questions or improvements, offering advice where needed and generally just being amazing! I’ve finally got Cody through the worst and he seems so much happier and healthier and he has lost some weight as he was overweight when we started this journey.

I'd much rather go to Stacey than use a vet, she has a wealth of knowledge and I trust her 100%.

I will be forever grateful, thank you xx

Maverick

This beautiful boy was only 6 months old when I met him & he was scratching himself almost constantly, around his groin and ears. He was already on a fresh, raw food diet but nothing was helping. The vets said it was atopic dermatitis & he would simply need monthly Cytopoint injections and a prescription diet. His guardians were not happy to do this as he was still so young, and a lifetime of medication did not sit right with them.

When I met with him, I noticed the ‘grey elephant’ skin around his groin & I asked if he’d ever been tested for yeast..the answer was no, so a Feclab, at home yeast test was carried out.

When his results came back, he tested positive for yeast in his ears, around his groin and his paws.

With a few adjustments to his diet, some additional supplements and using the Propythium products from Dogs First, he is now on the road to recovery!

No prescription diet or monthly Cytopoint injections needed!

Feedback from Maverick's guardian:

Hello! Has anyone told you how amazing you are at your job? Just wanted to say a massive thank you for everything! Maverick's itching is so much better, hardly doing it! I am so relieved and grateful for everything you have done for us xx

Willow

This beautiful girl was struggling with yeast overgrowth in her ears, paws and around her groin area.

She was already being fed a raw food diet, but needed some adjustments and additional supplements in order to support her recovery.

Feedback from Willow's guardian:

Stacey is absolutely amazing! She has helped my yeasty springer spaniel so much! She is super knowledgeable and I love how she takes the holistic natural approach for dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone who’s struggling with health issues with their dogs, or even if you're just after more information on how to go down the natural ways with your pooch. A huge thank you to Stacey for taking so much time to help myself and Willow, I couldn’t have asked for a more kind, knowledgeable person to help us!

Ryska

This beautiful boy had been having ongoing issues with undiagnosed lameness in his rear legs and lethargy. Working closely with his guardians and supporting them as they explored all avenues with their veterinary team, eventually a diagnosis of myelopathy caused by low B12 levels was reached. Ryska was already on a raw food diet but further adjustments were needed to help support his recovery.

Feedback from Ryska's guardian:

Cannot recommend Stacey enough! Her holistic approach has saved our 3 year old from being exposed to unnecessary chemicals through prescriptions as well as so much more!

She has supported us with so much including an undiagnosed neurological issue, skin problems and getting him all round healthier through diet!

We have managed skin issues that vets couldn't get to the bottom of with diet alone and it's made a huge difference to our boys life!

As well as that him being fed the right type of meats on his raw fed journey for him! Every dog is different when it comes to dietary requirements and I can't believe the difference it's made to him being on a him appropriate diet.

Ryska will forever be thankful and your help is so appreciated.

I highly recommend anyone to reach out to Stacey, whether this is just for standard dietary advice or to help overcome problems such as skin issues, allergies and so much more!

Princess & Flynn

These 2 beautiful spaniels were previously on a dry kibble but were switched onto a lightly cooked home made diet to meet both their needs.

Princess has health conditions that needed supporting & Flynn is a busy young dog who enjoys agility but had been struggling with anal gland issues.

Feedback from Princess & Flynn's guardian:

Stacey has been amazing.

We have 2 spaniels, one who has VERY complex needs. Stacey has helped us every step of the way to get them onto a diet that suits both of them. It's massively improved basic issues like anal glands and stools. but it's also massively helped my complex dog reduce a lot of her inflammation. Before trying this diet, my dogs would cry and beg for food hours before they were due a meal. Now they seem full, and don't even ask for dinner unless it's an hour late! I couldn't have asked for more from Stacey. she has been so helpful and I'm glad we found her. Can't recommend her enough.

Otis

Otis had truly landed on his paws when he was rehomed by Victoria who wanted to take a holistic approach to his new life, knowing what a tricky start he'd had. He was underweight, needed to build muscle and his coat was in poor condition, but in a relatively short space of time we were able to get him feeling much happier and more relaxed in his new home along with seeing massive improvements in his coat, body condition score and gradually building his weight.

Feedback from Otis's guardian:

I am writing this review to highlight the amazing transition and development of my rescue 2 year-old male intact Doberman .

He came with a large amount of emotional and physical conditions along with being reactive towards other animals .

I wanted him to be on a raw diet and to follow a holistic and natural lifestyle .

Because of this choice I was recommended Stacey from Hozho Hounds .

We have been on an amazing journey and would have never been where we are today if we had not had all the help support and guidance from Stacey .

Physically and mentally he is a different dog . I can always seek advice if required from Stacey and I cannot recommend her enough . Stacey has immense knowledge and is able to explain things in simple terms so I could understand and provide the best I can for my extremely happy fulfilled dog . Thank you Stacey .

Ralph

Ralph, a 4 year old Labrador, has been a part of my life for close to 3yrs now as he was one of my first day care/boarding dog's who soon became Ted's best friend.

When I first met him, he was fed a supermarket dog food with kibble and had frequent GI issues. His lovely guardian wasn't quite ready to make the switch to fresh food though, so at that time we found a better quality wet food and cold pressed for him, which did improve things, however he still had bouts of diarrhoea.

Then in January 2024, his transition to a fresh food diet begun and now he's absolutely thriving with no GI issues.

Another win for a species appropriate, fresh food diet!

Feedback from Ralph's guardian:

Stacey supported me transitioning my Labrador Ralph onto raw food from kibble and her hand holding was invaluable. Ralph had a tendency to put on weight and had suffered from diarrhea since he was a puppy. As a first time dog owner I needed guidance in how to transition and to choose the right food to support his health. As a show Lab I knew he would have the tendency towards hip issues and arthritis in the future and Stacey helped me structure his diet so he has enough natural supplements and food (such as bone broth) to support his joints as he gets older.

Stacey has a vast knowledge and experience of dog nutrition and you would struggle to find anyone better informed. However, she breaks down the meal plans into very simple and clear guides and although I was daunted with the change it was incredibly smooth and Ralph is flourishing with clear eyes, shiny coat and a very healthy gut - the small hard poos are also a great plus of the diet!
