Golden Years, Glowing Health

Give your best friend their best life in their senior years

A 5 week, small-group interactive course guided by a veterinarian specializing in senior dog health. Learn everything you need to know to keep your dog healthy and happy during their senior years, so they can continue enjoying the activities they love, and you can enjoy more good quality time together!

Your senior dog is special

And you want your dog’s golden years to be the best time of their life, to reward them for the years of love and companionship they’ve given you.

If you want to make the most difference to your senior dog’s quality of life, without wasting another minute, this 5 week interactive small-group course will teach you how!

Over the last 15+ years in veterinary medicine, specializing in rehabilitation (think physical therapy, for dogs!) and acupuncture (both areas where most of my patients are seniors), I’ve found that the most devoted pet parents are my senior dog parents:

You have a lifetime of experience and history with your dog, and they’re truly your best friend
You would do anything to keep them healthy and happy, but there’s an overwhelming amount of information out there and how do you decide what’s important?

That’s why I created Golden Years, Glowing Health! I’ve found that there are a small number of key areas where senior dog parents can make the most difference to their dog’s quality of life, and I created this course to share them with you. This 5 week, small-group interactive course will teach you exactly how to keep your senior dog healthy, comfortable, and happy throughout their golden years, without wasting money and precious time on things that don’t really help.

Trying to figure out how to help your senior dog thrive can be overwhelming - I get that.

Whether you’ve . . .

- Gotten lost in the sea of supplement options

- Read countless pieces of conflicting advice online

- Or simply watched your dog struggle to get up in the morning and not known what to do . . .

. . . feeling unsure how to best meet their needs can keep you from fully enjoying what should be the sweetest phase of their life: their golden years.

I want to give my best friend their best life!

Introducing:

Golden Years, Glowing Health

A 5 week, intimate group coaching course teaching you exactly how to keep your senior dog healthy, comfortable and happy throughout their golden years, without wasting money and precious time on things that don’t really help.

Learn from an expert senior dog veterinarian, inside a close-knit community of like-minded pet parents. We’ll cover everything you need to know to confidently enjoy your dog’s golden years, knowing you’re giving them the very best care. Your dog will be able to continue enjoying the activities they love, and you’ll be able to enjoy more good quality time together!

I want to join!

During our 5 weeks together, you will learn:

How to recognize subtle signs of pain in your dog (that most people miss!), so you can be confident you’re keeping your senior dog comfortable
What to feed your senior dog, so they get the nutrition they need to thrive, while maintaining a healthy weight
Which supplements are truly beneficial for your senior dog, without wasting money or having to feed your dog a bunch of pills every day
How to improve your senior dog’s oral health, and the positive impact that will have on their overall wellbeing
Activities and exercises that are safe and effective for senior dogs, and tailoring your dog’s exercise to their fitness level so they can remain active without strain
How to do the foundational exercises that I use with most of my rehab patients to help with balance and core strength, which are crucial for mobility in seniors.
Recognizing early signs of canine cognitive dysfunction (doggie dementia) and ways to improve your dog’s brain health.
How to holistically assess your dog’s quality of life, so that you can confidently enjoy their golden years, knowing you’re on top of any changes
A balanced perspective on veterinary care and lab work (testing) in senior dogs, so that you can feel confident you’re making medical decisions that benefit your dog’s health, without putting them through unnecessary tests.

I want to learn all of this!

I know how it feels to watch your dog age before your eyes:

They’re stiffer and creakier getting up in the morning

They’re less energetic, and not as interested in playing games they used to love
They’re starting to seem a little confused sometimes
They may even be shrinking as they lose interest in their food.

You’re afraid all this is going to lead to your best friend not being able to get up on their own, no longer enjoying walks without pain, and becoming anxious and agitated as doggie dementia causes confusion and even loss of house-training.

You’re constantly questioning whether they might be in pain, and whether they still have a good quality of life.

And despite your devotion to your best friend, not knowing how to keep them healthy and strong is keeping you from giving them everything they need to thrive.

I totally get it, because I’ve been there - and I can tell you that it doesn’t have to be this way. You can change things for your best friend. You can turn this around. You may not be able to turn back the clock, but you CAN slow down the aging process and even reverse some of the changes you’re seeing in your dog.

I want to turn this around

Imagine what your dog’s golden years can be Like

What if, as your dog gets older, you can help them maintain:

Mobility and pain-free movement
A good appetite
Interest in their favorite activities
A bright, alert mind

You can see it:

Your dog waking up each morning with pep in their step, excited to greet the day
Enjoying leisurely walks together while they sniff all the interesting smells
Coming home to eagerly eat a nutritious breakfast
Looking over from your laptop during your work day to see your dog snoozing in a sunbeam and smiling to yourself, knowing they’re comfortable and happy
Snuggling together on the couch, your dog sighing with contentment as you gently stroke their soft head
Gentle games of fetch, tug, or hide & seek, laughing at the mischievous sparkle in your dog’s eyes
Going to bed at night, both of you sleeping soundly, secure in the knowledge that you and your dog thoroughly enjoyed another golden day together

I want this!

“Daisy has been my best friend for all of her life, and when she started slowing down a couple of years ago, I didn’t know what to do. I was spending so much time trying to find answers online, and every time one person recommended something, someone else would say the opposite. Having Dr. Angela there to walk me through exactly what I needed to know was a lifesaver - Daisy is doing great and is definitely enjoying the extra attention, and I feel so much better knowing I’m giving her everything she needs!”

Mike, senior dog dad to Daisy

What’s inside

Golden Years, Glowing Health?

Week 1: Recognizing subtle signs of pain

Stop wondering if your dog is comfortable, and learn what signs to watch for! The earlier we recognize pain, the sooner we can provide relief. We’ll cover key signs of pain to watch for in your dog, and effective non-pharmaceutical options for pain relief that you can try at home (including supplements, acupressure, and massage).

week 2: Optimizing nutrition & oral health

Learn the foundations of senior nutrition including home-cooked diets and alternatives to kibble. We’ll cover the unique nutritional needs of senior dogs, and how nutrition affects your dog’s overall health. Learn to assess your dog’s oral health, and ways you can improve it at home. Learn the ONE thing proven to increase life expectancy.

Week 3: Mobility & Exercise

Physical activity is crucial for health! Learn which activities & exercises are safe & effective for your senior dog, and how to tailor their exercise to their fitness level so they can stay active as they age. We’ll cover key exercises I use with my patients (which you can do at home!) to improve balance and core strength, which are critical for mobility in senior dogs.

Week 4: Cognitive health

Get clarity on early warning signs of cognitive dysfunction (doggie dementia) and learn how to improve your dog’s brain health. We’ll talk about indicators to watch for at home, supplements that can improve cognitive health, and enrichment activities that can delay or even reverse age-related brain changes.

My dog & I need this unique course!

Week 5: Quality of Life

The biggest question every senior pet parent has is, “Does my dog still have a good quality of life?” This week, we’ll put everything together to create a holistic assessment of your dog’s quality of life, and make sure you’re confident in your plan moving forward! We’ll discuss a balanced approach to veterinary care and testing, and you’ll finish this week feeling confident you have a good handle on your dog’s overall well-being. You’ll know you can identify changes and intervene early for the best outcome, and you can make medical decisions that benefit your dog’s health without putting them through unnecessary tests. Including extra Q&A time to ensure all your questions are answered, so you’ll complete the course feeling empowered to help your dog live their healthiest, happiest life.

Bonus material

If you’re like me and want to learn absolutely everything you can, I’m including these bonuses to help you give your senior dog the very best care:

Access to our private community for peer mentoring and discussion with like-minded pet parents dedicated to providing the very best life for their senior dogs.
- Discussion points to bring up during office visits, so you can have more informative conversations with your veterinarian.
- Non-pharmaceutical options for pain relief that you can use in conjunction with their pain medications when they need extra relief, or as alternatives in dogs who can’t take traditional pain medications. Learn about massage, passive range of motion, acupressure, warm compresses, supplements, and other integrative options for pain relief.
Your nutritional roadmap for your dog’s senior years, including resources for nutritionally complete home-cooked recipes, healthy treats you can make at home, and precooked alternatives to kibble.
Learn how to tell if your dog is a healthy weight (even without a scale!) and keep track of changes over time
Learn the simple but effective exercises you can do at home to improve your dog’s balance and core strength, which are the foundation for mobility. Learn massage techniques you can use to improve circulation and soothe tired muscles. Refer back to the photos and videos whenever you need a refresher.
Many senior pets need a little extra help getting around, whether that’s a boost getting up first thing in the morning, support on the stairs, or even a lift in or out of the car. There are a few products I love for my rehab patients which you can use to assist your dog ergonomically with less strain on your own body.
A printable guide you can use over and over, to track changes in your dog and quickly identify things that might be impairing their quality of life. The earlier you intervene, the better your chance of making a positive impact!
This is an optional, 6th interactive video call where we can discuss all of your questions about end of life decision making, options for care, and resources for support and in-home care. These topics may be upsetting to some, and be assured that you will still get all the information you need to keep your senior dog healthy and happy even if you opt not to participate in this call. I offer it as part of Golden Years because many people have questions or concerns that they want to discuss ahead of time for information or planning, or with someone who’s not their dog’s personal veterinarian, and this call is a wonderful resource if you have questions you’d like to talk through. Because of the sensitive nature of the discussion, this call will not be recorded, but the date will be provided at the beginning of the course so that you’ll have at least a month to plan ahead for attendance.

I want all these resources!

During 15+ years in veterinary medicine, I've helped countless senior pet parents keep their dogs healthy and happy as they age.

I understand struggling with uncertainty about your senior dog’s quality of life, wanting to make sure they’re comfortable and happy, but not knowing how to really make a difference for them.
I know what it’s like to wade through endless piles of conflicting information from blog posts, community groups, social media and even magazines and books.
I know how it feels to watch your best friend getting older, and wonder if you’re giving them everything they need to truly thrive.

I also know what it takes to give your dog the very best golden years so that you can enjoy the most time together. And I want to help you enjoy your dog's golden years, knowing you're doing all the right things to keep your best friend healthy, comfortable and happy.

As a certified veterinary rehabilitation therapist (think physical therapy, but for dogs!) and acupuncturist, both areas where most of my patients are seniors, I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and the people that love them.

There’s nothing sweeter than seeing the love in the eyes of a senior dog as they look at their favorite person in the world, and I want you to have more moments like that together

Through 15+ years in veterinary medicine, I’ve helped countless senior pet parents keep their dogs healthy and happy as they age.

This course is designed to teach you all of these principles, so that you can confidently assess your dog’s quality of life at home, AND have higher-quality conversations with your veterinarian during office visits.
I know that senior dogs seem to age faster the older they get, and you want your dog’s quality of life to improve NOW, so there’s no time to waste. Most senior dog parents who implement these recommendations start to see positive changes in their dog within 30 days.

Trying to figure out how to help your senior dog thrive can be overwhelming

Whether you’ve tried a dozen different supplements, read countless pieces of conflicting advice online, or simply watched your dog struggle to get up in the morning and not known what to do, I know how feeling helpless and unsure how to best meet their needs can keep you from fully enjoying their golden years.

You keep thinking the next blood test you spend $300 on will give you the secret to your dog’s health, or that the next supplement you try will turn things around for them - but that doesn’t happen

You often wonder if your dog might be in pain without you knowing
You want to keep them active (we’ve all heard “use it or lose it!”) but aren’t sure what types of exercise are good for seniors
You worry they might be developing doggie dementia (canine cognitive dysfunction) but aren’t sure which signs to watch for
Your vet recommends tests, but you don’t know which ones are worth doing, and don’t want to put your dog through the stress of extra visits
You want a good handle on your dog’s quality of life, but there’s never enough time during office visits for a deep discussion about it
Vet visits are getting more frequent and expensive, and you’re not sure how much difference they’re really making to your dog’s health
Your dog’s breath could knock out a rhino, but you’re afraid to put them under anesthesia at their age
You know how important good nutrition is for seniors, but your dog is getting pickier and pickier, and you’re not sure how to even compare different food options

It feels like you’re lost in this endless loop of questioning whether you’re giving your dog everything they need to thrive.

You know you want your dog to live a long, happy life but you’re not sure how to help that happen.

You want your dog’s golden years to be the best time of their life, to reward them for the years of love and companionship they’ve given you, and you want to enjoy your time together without stress and uncertainty.
