Expertise. Support. Community.

Have you ever heard the story of the Little Engine That Could? It's the classic children's tale of a little train that musters up her faith in herself and, against all odds, takes on an ambitious and seemingly impossible mission. At Holistic Actions!, we feel a lot like the Little Engine That Could! We weren't always one of the world's top holistic resources for helping pets live their best and longest lives. When our team of holistic pet professionals came together in 2016, we knew that there was so much more available in terms of healthcare for our companion animals, and many animal guardians did not know that. This bothered us. A lot. People who loved and cared for pets just didn't have easy, trustable access to the education, expertise, community support, and professional advice they needed for making informed choices and taking effective holistic actions. There wasn't any centralized hub for learning about the beautiful way that holistic care and conventional veterinary medicine can work powerfully hand-in-hand. We saw a HUGE need, but we were little. Who are we, we wondered, to think that a business as tiny as ours could make any real difference? But then we remembered the story of The Little Engine That Could!, and knew that we had to try. We realized that if we helped even only a very small number of animals, that was a difference worth making. And so we mustered up our faith in ourselves and began our own steep ascent up the mountain. We weren't even sure anybody would come, but a few took a chance on us, and that was the beginning of our slow, steady, and ultimately significant growth. We're not so little anymore. Today, our community spans 15 countries with membership across 3 continents, with new members joining every day! Holistic Actions! is considered by those who have dedicated their lives to animal welfare and advocacy to be an international leader in the fight for creating a better world for pets through taking holistic actions.
