Angela Ardolino

Pet Cannabis Expert

Angela Ardolino is a holistic pet expert and educator who has been caring for animals for over 20 years. Angela owns and operates Fire Flake Farm, an animal rescue farm, as well as two locations of her natural pet salon and shop Beautify the Beast. She’s also the founder and formulator of CBD Dog Health, which offers high quality, all-natural cannabis health and wellness products for pets; Your Natural Dog, an online marketplace for natural pet products hand-picked by trusted holistic vets & pet experts; and MycoDog, which creates and produces high-quality medicinal mushroom and adaptogen tinctures designed specifically for pets.

A serial entrepreneur, Ardolino was born and raised in Miami, Florida, where she also founded the House of Alchemy, LLC, Miami Children’s Theater, and Tampa Bay Parenting Magazine. In 2015, Angela was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and knew that she needed to find alternatives to the toxic medications being offered to her. After learning about the benefits of cannabis and experiencing the life-changing results firsthand, Angela set out to destigmatize medical cannabis and CBD oil so she could spread awareness around its holistic healing powers.

As an advocate for medical cannabis, she helped Floridians vote to legalize medical cannabis in 2016. Angela sold Tampa Bay Parenting Magazine and produced the Canna Conference, an educational event to bring together doctors, veterinarians, and patients to learn about the positive effects of medical cannabis. During that time, Angela also earned a professional certification in Medical Cannabis for therapeutic use from the University of Vermont, College of Medicine. While receiving her certification, Angela became active in Women Grow and United for Care, and served as an outspoken advocate for safe, natural, ethically-grown hemp and medical cannabis for human and animal use.

At this time there were no full spectrum medicinal products for pets on the market (that she could find), so with her knowledge in herbs/essential oils and adaptogens she created CBD Dog Health to begin formulating full spectrum hemp tinctures, salves and treats for pets. Since the company’s launch in 2018, Angela has helped thousands of pets heal naturally from seizures, IVDD, Allergies, Arthritis, Degenerative Myelopathy, and many forms of cancer. Angela’s record breaker is her Doberman Nina, who was diagnosed 2 years ago with Osteosarcoma, and with the help of cannabis and medicinal mushrooms is still alive and thriving today.

Because of the success Angela experienced treating sick and geriatric dogs on her rescue with combinations of adaptogenic herbs and mushrooms, she began formulating MycoDog tinctures to make it simpler to treat pets who are suffering from ailments and diseases that affect them later in life, like Canine Cognitive Disease, Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases.

To see Angela on her rescue farm today, surrounded by animals, is to truly see her in her element. Looking at this furry, joyful family you would never suspect that Angela and her pets were once full of aches, pains and anxiety. Angela is the mother to Odie (15-year-old mini-schnauzer), Nina (10-year-old Doberman), Jolene (9-year-old mutt), Maza (9-year-old mutt), Rhemi (10-year-old poodle), multiple ducks, roosters, chickens and geese, plus pigs Ellie and Penelope, Brenda the one-legged pigeon, and the many dogs that she fosters from time-to-time at Fire Flake Farm.
