I have had animals my entire life and currently have a 13 year old carin terrier named Peanut and two kitties Dallas and Dixie. I am a huge animal lover and have a background of working at a holistic pet store. My dog peanut had terrible allergies and was constantly itching and had raw hot spots all over her body. I had taken her to the vet countless times and nothing helped. After years of struggling with it we got her on a raw food diet and some Chinese herbal medicine and she slowly improved. After about a year all her fur had grown back and she was no longer itching and she had her spunky personality back! Without my experience at the holistic pet store I wouldn't of been able to help her the way I did! She may be 13 but she still acts like a puppy!
