What Our Clients Are Saying

Jane

Miami

"Erika has been absolutely amazing. Our 11-month-old Vizsla, Henry, has been struggling with a skin condition that puzzled both us and our vets. The medications we tried didn’t work, and we were facing a long wait to see a dermatologist. That’s when we found Zest & Bark. Erika’s holistic approach, which included essential oils, dietary adjustments, and natural supplements, brought immediate relief to Henry. The rashes and blisters started healing within days. Erika’s deep understanding of canine health and her commitment to finding a solution for Henry has been a true blessing for us. We are so grateful for her help."

Goose and Jo

Hockley, Essex

"I’ve owned dogs for over 30 years, and I’ve never met anyone as knowledgeable and dedicated as Erika. My Doberman, Goose, had been suffering from severe dry skin, and nothing we tried seemed to help. On a walk, I mentioned it to Erika, and she suggested an oatmeal poultice followed by an apricot kernel oil massage. Within two weeks, Goose’s skin was completely clear, and his coat was shiny and healthy again. Erika’s expertise in holistic health is unmatched, and her kindness and care shine through in everything she does. I highly recommend her services."

Jane

Miami

"Erika has been absolutely amazing. Our 11-month Vizsla, Henry, has been suffering from some type of skin disease that we have not yet been able to figure out yet. The 2 vets we have been seeing have not been able to help, not with anti-biotic, or topical treatments. They recommended to see a dermatologist vets, but there are only 2 in Miami and waitlists are long... (it will be another 5 months before we have an appointment with one). In the meantime, rashes and blisters were getting worse every day. I found Zest and Bark, online, and Erika has managed to change our lives. Thanks to a combination of essential oil treatments, supplements and food change, we were able to stop the blisters and rashes. Erika's holistic approach has been way more efficient than the medications we had been giving Henry. Erika's extensive knowledge and her strong desire to help have been a game changer in our dog's life. Not to mention her patience and desire to go the extra mile. We are so thankful."
