You know your pet. Get a second set of eyes.
A written analysis of what is actually going on, followed by a working session with someone who reads trends, not snapshots. For pets who seem off, and for pets you want to keep from ever getting there.
If we are doing everything right, why are pets living shorter lives?
Most pet parents leave the vet with more questions than answers.
The labs came back "normal" but something is clearly off. The diagnosis is vague. The plan is a half-sheet of paper. Every question gets a version of "let's watch and see." Or the answer is a prescription that quiets the symptom without asking what is causing it.
That is not because vets do not care. Most of them do. The conventional system is built for throughput, and it was never designed around your individual pet.
Dogs used to live to fifteen, eighteen, even twenty. Something has to change. It starts with a second set of eyes.
"His bloodwork came back normal and X-rays showed no blockage, but his behavior told a completely different story."Caroline, Hank's mom
Two parts. One clear direction.
A written analysis
Send what you have: one set of labs, three years of records, or just your own notes on what has been off. Within 48 to 72 hours, you receive:
- Trend analysis across your pet's lab history
- Flags the standard reference ranges may have missed
- Tests that should be running but likely are not, like UPC ratio, SDMA, and blood pressure
- A prioritized next-step list, specific to your pet
- The exact questions to bring to your next vet appointment
A working session
We get on a call, phone or video. This is not a sales call. It is the conversation the vet appointment was supposed to be.
- We walk through what I am seeing
- We talk through your pet specifically
- We build out what comes next, together
- You leave with clarity, a written record, and a direction
Who this is for.
This is for you if
- You want your pet on the best possible path from the start, before anything seems wrong
- The bloodwork keeps coming back "in range" but your gut says something is off
- You were told to "watch and see" and want a clearer plan
- Your pet is on medication and you want to understand what is happening underneath
- You want to walk into your next vet visit with sharper questions
- You believe your daily observations matter and want them taken seriously
Not the right fit if
- Your pet is in an active emergency. Go directly to your veterinarian or an emergency clinic.
- You want a quick answer or a single recommendation rather than a real review
- You want someone to replace your veterinarian rather than work alongside them
Start early. Or start now.
The younger your pet and the earlier we start, the more we can head off before it ever begins.

"His bloodwork came back 'normal' and X-rays showed no blockage, but his behavior told a completely different story, and I knew something wasn't right... Before working with Jenn, I felt helpless and overwhelmed. This experience changed everything. Jenn shares her expertise in a clear, practical way... Small, manageable changes grounded in science. I now feel confident and empowered as an advocate for Hank's health, even alongside his vet."
Caroline, Hank's mom"Jenn is THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! Look no further... It began with pet sitting and grew into health and nutrition work. Simie is a picky eater with a sensitive stomach, and Jenn didn't reach for prescriptions or default answers. She paid close attention, experimented thoughtfully with what foods worked for Simie's individual body, and brought real expertise to figuring out what my dog actually needed."
Lint, Simie's momA pattern reader for your pet.
I am Jennifer Makeeff. My background is in presidential-level advance, communications, and operations, global Fortune 500 work, and building my own business to seven figures.
That work taught me to read patterns in complex systems and see the cracks before they become catastrophes. Pets have always been part of my life. While building a pet services business that cared for thousands of them, I noticed that more than half the dogs coming into our care were on some form of behavioral or anti-anxiety medication. I started asking why.
Then I lost Keiki, my cat, and Jessie, my dog, back to back. The week before, Keiki had been to the vet and was told she was doing great. Her labs looked fine. There were signs. The reality was she was failing. That is when asking why became my work. I have not stopped.
I have advanced education in integrative pet health and have studied alongside leading veterinarians and scientists. I work alongside your veterinarian, not in place of them. I am not a veterinarian. I am a translator, a pattern reader, and an advocate for your pet. More about Jennifer.

"Wellness is not just the absence of disease. It is actually recognizing that we can make intentional lifestyle choices on a daily basis that ultimately create abundant health."Dr. Karen Becker
Wellness is a daily practice of intentional choices. Food. Movement. Supplements. Stress. Environment. My job is to help you make those choices with clarity and confidence.
Before you start.
Which option is right for my pet?
If your pet is young or healthy and you want to set them up well from the start, choose the Wellness Baseline. If something seems off, the labs are confusing, or your pet is on medication, choose the Second Opinion. Not sure? Start with the Baseline. If we find more to dig into, your $197 counts toward the Second Opinion within 90 days.
What if I do not have recent bloodwork?
Send what you have. Observations, diet notes, symptom history, or medications are enough to start. Part of what we work out together is which tests are worth requesting at your next appointment.
How do I send my pet's records?
After you check out, you receive an intake form with instructions for uploading records securely. Most people send PDFs of recent labs, a short history, and any specialist notes. Records stay confidential and are used only for your pet's analysis.
What if I have years of records?
Send it all. Reading trends across multiple years is where I do my best work. More data means a better analysis.
How does the call get scheduled?
After your intake, you receive a link to book your session at a time that works for you. The call happens after I deliver the written analysis, so it is a working conversation based on real material.
Are you going to tell me to stop seeing my vet?
No. Most of my clients continue with their regular veterinarian and use my input alongside that relationship. The goal is to walk into your next appointment with better questions and a clearer plan.
What if I want to keep working together afterward?
We talk about that on the call. There are several paths for ongoing support. You decide what makes sense after we walk through the analysis together.
