Your dog's health journey starts here—with real answers, root-cause solutions, and the kind of holistic care that actually works.

I'm Dr. Kristy Francavilla, a functional medicine doctor, chiropractor, and canine nutritionist with over 26 years of experience helping bodies heal—both human and canine. After spending decades addressing root causes instead of just managing symptoms in my human patients, I had a realization: our dogs deserve this same level of care. They deserve practitioners who ask "why?" and look deeper. They deserve nutrition that works with their biology, not against it.

That's why I created Live Well Dog™—and this blog is an extension of that mission. Here, you'll find science-backed insights on holistic dog wellness, practical protocols for root-cause healing, guidance on clean ingredients and supplements, and the education you need to make empowered decisions for your best friend. No fluff. No fear-mongering. Just honest, accessible information that helps your dog thrive.

Because dogs can't live forever, but they can live well. Explore our articles below and discover what true vitality looks like for your pup.
