Built from experience.

"I'm building the resource I wish existed seven years ago."

No one should have to navigate this alone. PHC exists to turn fear into preparedness—so you can advocate clearly when it matters most.

The Sarge Story

When the system fails, caregivers improvise.

Sarge was my soul dog. By my side everywhere I went. Seven years ago, heart failure took him. He died in my arms, and it broke me.

I’d never heard of CHF in dogs before his diagnosis. When I asked the vet what we could do, the answer was blunt: “It’s a terminal condition. There’s not much left to try at this stage.”

I refused to accept that.

So I learned. I researched everything I could find. I tracked his breathing, adjusted his diet, and tried every supplement that made sense. But I was learning on the fly, and I was already behind.

A hard lesson

“If I’d started with the knowledge I have now…”

I could have pushed back earlier. Challenged outdated advice. Asked sharper questions. Instead, I lost time I’ll never get back.

Then Rue Changed Everything

This time, I wasn’t scrambling in the dark.

Less than a year after losing Sarge, Rue wandered into my yard. She started healing something in me I thought was gone for good.

Now she has CHF too. But this time, I know what to ask. I know when to push. And I'm not scrambling in the dark anymore.

Pet Health Collective is the thing I needed and couldn’t find. So I built it.
