Asha

About Asha:

Asha is our beloved black lab and the unofficial therapy dog at NutritionRx. Her name means Alive and Well, making her the perfect mascot after Jennifer Broxterman survived stage 3 ovarian cancer against the odds.

Although NutritionRx is now a virtual practice, Asha still loves being part of the team. Don’t be surprised if she pops on screen to say hello and offer a few enthusiastic tail wags. While she may not be an official therapy dog (just don’t tell her that!), she has a special talent for making people smile.

When she’s not “working,” Asha loves long hikes, chewing sticks, snuggling with her favourite humans, and greeting everyone she meets with kisses. As far as Asha is concerned, everyone is her friend!

She also loves having her paw held and will happily sit beside you “holding hands” for hours.
