My Story

About Green Paws Holistic Pet Care My name is Naja Muller, and I’m the founder of Green Paws Holistic Pet Care. My journey into holistic pet wellness is deeply personal, shaped by the lives and lessons of every dog who’s shared my heart and home. 

It began with Rudy, my first dog. Like so many loving pet parents, I followed every veterinary recommendation—flea and tick preventatives, vaccines, prescription medications, and ultra-processed pet foods—believing I was doing the very best for him. Looking back, I see how much his little body endured: seizures, liver damage, dental issues, and more. While Rudy was incredibly resilient, I now recognize the harm that some of those choices caused. The guilt I carry from those early decisions is immense, but it’s also what drives me to help others learn from my experience—so you and your pets don’t have to suffer the same heartache. 

When Tripp was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in 2016, my perspective shifted dramatically. I began questioning everything—from the food I fed to the preventatives I used—and discovered the world of holistic, natural care. Tripp’s journey was the spark that inspired me to create Green Paws Holistic Pet Care and dedicate myself to empowering pet parents with better options. 

My current “Busted Bully Crew”—Tonka, Summer, and Macy—each born with skeletal deformities, are my daily inspiration and greatest teachers. Their resilience and unique needs have guided me to develop gentle approaches to comfort and mobility. Roxy, who we lost to leukemia, played a pivotal role as Tonka’s physical therapist and motivator, showing me the irreplaceable value of canine companionship in healing. Quinn, our only “normal” dog, now carries Roxy’s torch, bringing balance and joyful energy to our unique pack. 

Quinn’s story is especially important for pet parents to hear. I’ve been able to make conscious, holistic health choices for Quinn since she joined us at just 8 weeks old. Even though she wasn’t born with the same challenges as her siblings, I believe her preventative care is just as crucial. I implement everything I’ve learned on my journey into her daily life—nutrition, natural wellness, toxin reduction, and proactive support. As a result, Quinn is proving to be one of the healthiest dogs I’ve ever known, a testament to the power of intentional, holistic living from the very beginning. 

As a Certified Holistic Pet Health Coach, my mission is to educate, empower, and inspire pet parents. I do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe for any medical conditions. Instead, I serve as your guide and advocate—helping you make confident, well-informed decisions for your pet’s well-being. Whether you’re seeking support with long-term comfort for chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, or looking for ways to enhance your pet’s vitality through fresh food, functional supplements, and natural modalities, I’m here to offer compassionate guidance and bespoke recommendations tailored to your pet’s unique needs.
