Focus: Integrative, systems-level approach to chronic dog allergies and inflammation

Veterinarian who founded a practice focused on integrative care for companion animals. Argues that chronic allergies, itching, and skin issues in dogs are systems-level immune dysregulation spanning gut, skin barrier, and emotional state, not isolated skin events. Developed the FLARE framework (food, leaky barriers, antigen load, regulatory failure, emotional stress) and applies a 5R protocol oriented around removing triggers and rebuilding internal systems. Operates in the integrative-veterinary space; her framework departs from mainstream allergy management and includes nutraceutical and functional-testing recommendations with commercial elements.
