Beyond Detox
Your Pet's Liver & Kidneys
Your dog or cat's liver and kidneys do more than filter toxins. Join us to explore the biology, energetics, and emotional blueprint behind two of your pet's most misunderstood organs.

In pets, the liver and kidneys are usually cast as clean-up crew, but they also drive metabolism, energy, hormones, immunity, and hydration. This session looks at how stress, sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle shape how these organs work in dogs and cats, and why real healing for your companion animal goes beyond detox.
