Wellness and Calm
Natural and Holistic Pet Supplements
Pet Wellbeing — Natural Supplements for Animals
Many owners look for gentle, natural ways to support their companion's wellbeing during times of stress, transition or recovery.
Pet Wellbeing creates thoughtfully formulated herbal supplements for dogs, cats and other companion animals. Their products are vet-reviewed and made without artificial flavors or preservatives, combining traditional herbal wisdom with modern research.
I've recommended their supplements to guardians looking for additional support alongside veterinary care and a holistic approach to wellness.
Alaskan Essences — Flower Essences for Animals
Flower essences are gentle vibrational essences traditionally used to support emotional balance during times of stress, transition and change. Many guardians turn to them when helping an animal navigate anxiety, grief, adjustment to a new home or other emotional challenges.
I first met Steve Johnson, the founder of Alaskan Essences, while I was working at Best Friends Animal Society many years ago. Steve generously took the time to introduce me to flower essences, explain the philosophy behind them and share his complete collection with me. I used those essences for years, and they became a trusted part of my work with animals.
Today, Judith continues the company with the same thoughtful spirit and dedication to quality. I continue to recommend Alaskan Essences to guardians looking for gentle, supportive care that complements Reiki and veterinary care alike.
Home and Comfort
Parachute
Beautiful surroundings can gently support how a home feels where you and your animals can truly relax.
Bedding, bath, and the kind of quiet comfort that makes a house feel finished. Their down mattress topper is the one to reach for, soft enough that lying down feels like settling into a cloud. It makes a good place to receive your own session, your pet resting beside you.
The Citizenry
Handcrafted home goods sourced through direct partnerships with artisans around the world. The Citizenry's throws, pillows and textiles bring authenticity and craftsmanship into the home, creating beautiful spaces that feel calm, grounded and deeply lived in.
For Your Peace of Mind
Furbo Pet Camera
I don't like wondering how Jambi and Dazzle are doing when I'm away. Furbo lets me check in, speak to them, toss them a treat and even offer Reiki through the camera, making the distance between us feel just a little smaller.
It also listens for barking and sends alerts if something needs your attention. One story that stayed with me was from an owner who received a barking alert and discovered their home was on fire. That was all I needed to hear.
Whether you're at work, traveling or simply out for the afternoon, Furbo helps you stay connected to the companion waiting for you at home.
For Your Animal
Ruffwear
These are the collars, leashes and raincoats Jambi and Dazzle wear every day.
Ruffwear designs durable outdoor gear that's thoughtfully engineered, comfortable and made to last. Whether you're hiking, walking the neighborhood or exploring the beach together, their products have earned my trust through years of everyday use.
Equestrian
Asmar Equestrian
Asmar Equestrian creates refined apparel for riders who appreciate timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship and effortless comfort. Their pieces transition beautifully from the barn to everyday life, reflecting the same quiet elegance found throughout the Vitalis Light philosophy.
Memorial Tributes
When a companion animal passes on, many guardians find comfort in creating small rituals of remembrance. The resources below are thoughtful memorial ideas that others have found meaningful while honoring the bond shared with a beloved companion.
Name a Star in Their Memory
Some companions leave a light that stays with you. Online Star Register lets you name a star for an animal you have loved and lost, with a certificate, the star's coordinates, and an app to find it in the night sky. It is a quiet, lasting way to hold their place in the world, a point of light to look up to on the nights you miss them most.
Paw and Nose Print Memorial Kit
Creating a paw or nose print can be a meaningful way to honor the physical presence your companion once shared in your life. This archival ink kit allows guardians to create a clean paw or nose print that can be framed alongside photographs and kept as a lasting tribute. Non-toxic and safe for animals.
Memorial Wind Chimes
Many guardians find comfort in the gentle sound of wind chimes, a quiet reminder of the love that remains even after a companion animal is gone. Personalized memorial chimes can be engraved with a name and dates of life, creating a lasting tribute that moves with the wind. I recommend the 30-inch version for its deeper tone.
Companion Animal Loss — Reading for Adults
Losing a companion animal can leave a profound emptiness in daily life. This thoughtful guide offers practical support for navigating the emotional experience of grief after the loss of a beloved animal companion.
The book gently explores many aspects of the grieving process, coping with guilt, managing anxiety, honoring memories, and finding ways to move forward while still holding love for the animal who shared your life.
Many readers find comfort in its calming tone, reflective exercises, and compassionate guidance during a time that can feel overwhelming.
Companion Animal Loss — Reading for Children
My Forever Friend: A Children's Guide and Activity Book for Saying Goodbye to a Special Dog
For children, the loss of a companion animal may be one of the first profound experiences of grief they encounter. This gentle book helps young readers understand and process those emotions in a safe and supportive way.
Through thoughtful language and guided activities, it encourages children to express memories, share feelings, and honor the love they shared with their companion animal. Many families find it helpful for opening conversations about loss and helping children move through grief with reassurance and care.
