Jan Allegretti’s lifelong passion for animals evolved from early experiences with horses and a deep bond with her family dog into a holistic approach to animal care. Trained in classical French dressage and influenced by veterinary homeopathy, she combined natural remedies with compassionate advocacy, eventually shifting away from traditional horse training and sales due to ethical concerns. Her journey led her to focus on holistic health for pets, emphasizing the importance of diet, fresh homemade foods, and alternative treatments to improve animal well-being.

Allegretti authored influential books such as The Complete Holistic Dog Book and The Fresh & Flexible Meal Plan, promoting fresh, organic diets over processed kibble to address chronic illnesses and enhance pets’ health. Her work gained recognition among veterinarians and pet owners alike, highlighting food as a vital expression of love and culture for animals. Through consultations, workshops, and writing, Allegretti advocates for elevating animals’ status in society by fostering deeper, more respectful relationships grounded in natural care and nutrition.
