Our supplements are all human grade products, third-party tested for potency and purity. Ask Ariel pet supplements have been recommended by veterinarians nationwide since 2005. Our Mission
If you had the power to heal your pet would you? Of course you would. You love your pets and want what’s best for them. But many pet owners become discouraged after several unsuccessful attempts to help their pets using conventional veterinary care. You may have been told that there isn’t anything more you can do and that genetics and/or your pet’s anatomy are what they are.
Our mission at Ask Ariel Your Pet Nutritionist is to empower you to take charge of your pet’s health and find a better path to wellness. We believe that an integrative approach combining holistic pet care (diet and lifestyle changes along with supplements) with conventional veterinary treatments provided by your veterinarian can give your pet the best chance to recover.
 Susan Davis & Ariel, 6 months after her diagnosis with kidney disease
April Fool’s Day—2004. A day I will always remember—no fun and games but rather shock that my beloved Husky mix Ariel--my best friend and companion, was suddenly diagnosed with chronic renal failure—a deadly disease that takes its victims rapidly. Ariel meant the world to me---and unless we found a miracle, she didn’t have much more time.…
The veterinary treatment for chronic renal failure was extremely limited---a prescription diet and subcutaneous fluids. I knew there had to be more I could do. I went on a focused mission to find a way to prolong Ariel’s life. What I discovered was amazing--- there were other options! Not only could I increase Ariel’s time and quality of life, but I could help others in a similar situation. Through holistic healing, nutritional changes and natural supplements, Ariel went on to live past her 14th birthday, maintaining a very high quality of life.
Our triumphant journey over renal failure (Ariel died from an unrelated issue) inspired me to establish Ask Ariel. It is my personal goal to provide you with information and alternative options so that you can find wellness for yourself and your pet. You can help your pet attain optimal wellness through holistic healing---you just need the tools and information. Don’t get discouraged----Just Ask Ariel!
“Ask Ariel has natural remedies and diet suggestions that can be effectively combined with conventional veterinary care provided at a veterinary hospital. Over the years, many of the veterinary patients I have treated have benefited from Ask Ariel supplements.”

Owner, Arch Beach Veterinary Hospital
Nationwide, many veterinarians are familiar with Ask Ariel supplements and recommend them for their client’s pets. Ask Ariel’s holistic treatment protocols are based on science and are veterinary approved. For over 10 years, Pet Nutritionist Susan Blake Davis offered holistic consultations at VCA hospitals in Southern California working in conjunction with several veterinarians, most notably Dr. David Gordon, holistic veterinarian. Susan also provided consultations at a veterinary oncology center working with oncologists to help pets with cancer. Ask Ariel’s supplements were used in these hospitals to help sick pets and are now available through our website. Over the years, many clients have used Ask Ariel supplements under the guidance of their veterinarians along with conventional veterinary treatments with great results.
Our History
Pet Nutritionist Susan Blake Davis, Certified Clinical Nutritionist started Ask Ariel after seeing the results she achieved with rescue dogs and her own dog Ariel. Susan Blake Davis volunteered in animal rescue for 15 years saving thousands of pets from impoverished shelters and finding loving homes for them.
As a rescue volunteer, Susan Davis used holistic
treatments to help homeless pets get adopted.
Many of the pets had health issues that prevented them from getting adopted such as skin and digestive problems. Susan wanted more than anything for these pets to get the homes they deserved and when conventional veterinary treatments weren’t always successful, she began using natural supplements and diet changes. The pets transformed! Each week, she and other volunteers would sit outside of PetSmart trying to find homes for the dogs. One dog had been passed over due to skin problems and a few weeks later with holistic care, people were commenting on how nice the dog’s coat was.
