I help dog parents build healthier, happier lives with their dogs - I’ve been where you are.

Meet Lana

Hi, I’m Lana, your South Coast Fairy Dog Mother. I help dog parents build healthier, happier lives with their pups - because I’ve been where you are. Animals have always been a part of my life - from golden retrievers and horses to border terriers with huge hearts and even bigger health mysteries. My journey into canine nutrition and behaviour began with love, was forged through heartbreak, and continues with a passion to make things better for dogs and their humans.

It started with Wiggins, a sweet border terrier I cared for through Borrow My Doggy. He was a joy and a companion, and when he passed unexpectedly, it broke my heart. Soon after, I brought home Augustus -a planned, much-loved puppy with top credentials. But from day one, he struggled with mysterious health issues: tummy pain, picky eating, infections, and strange episodes no vet could explain.

Why we’re here now

I did everything by the book - and then some. I saw specialists, tried every food under the sun, and spent sleepless nights up with him and researching. I met incredible people along the way - dog trainers, vets, Facebook group heroes, and slowly uncovered the truth: Augustus was suffering from food intolerances and an underdiagnosed neurological condition linked to gluten sensitivity.

That discovery changed everything. I trained in canine nutrition, behaviour, and holistic pet health. I turned my science degree and 15 years of digital marketing experience into a new mission: helping other dog owners just like me.

Today, I work with dogs and their people to decode tricky health and behaviour issues, starting with what’s in the bowl. I bring a no-judgement, fully supportive approach because I know how hard it is when your dog isn’t “normal,” and no one seems to understand.

If you’re struggling with confusing symptoms, frustrating behaviours, or just want to give your dog the best shot at a long, healthy life - I’d love to help.

Let’s make life easier, together.
