Our Philosophy

At TATZENWOHL, we see animals as sentient beings — they deserve to feel safe, seen, and whole. Our work is rooted in respect, compassion, and the freedom to live with dignity.

About Us

TATZENWOHL was born out of a deep sense of responsibility — and love. Love for the animals who walk beside us. Who never ask, yet always give. They offer their hearts unconditionally. They comfort, protect, and teach. They are family. They are truth.

AŁ TATZENWOHL , we believe that when we choose to bring an animal into our lives, we take on more than just companionship we take on the responsibility to truly care. Not just feed and shelter, but understand and honour. Because unlike us, animals don’t get to choose the life we ask them to live.

Would your dog have chosen a life in a high-rise without green spaces?
Would your cat have picked the country or the climate you’ve moved through?
Would they have chosen the interventions we decide for them — the surgeries, the restrictions, the lifestyle?

They cannot say “yes” or “no.” But if we listen, truly listen, we will hear their needs — in their breath, their gaze, their behaviour. We created Tatzenwohl to give animals a voice through care — holistic, respectful, modern. Grounded in the principles of the Five Freedoms:

Freedom from hunger and thirst.
Freedom from discomfort.
Freedom from pain, injury, and disease.
Freedom to express natural behaviour.
Freedom from fear and distress.

These are not luxuries. They are the minimum.
And in today’s world — with all we know, with all the tools we have — we ask: why wouldn’t we offer this to them? At TATZENWOHL , we use every available method — from natural therapies to modern technology — to support animals in healing, thriving, and living fully, even in the environments we’ve chosen for them. We believe in recovery that is quick, gentle, and stress-free. We believe in dignity until the very last breath. We are proud to help animals live long lives — and to die young, at a ripe old age. To heal faster. To feel safe. To be well. Physically. Emotionally. Wholly.

This is TATZENWOHL
A place of trust. A space of healing. A commitment to every paw, every tail, every truth.

About Me

Linda Böhmer

I was born in South Africa and raised in a German household on a farm, surrounded by ostriches, dogs, cats and all kinds of creatures. My love for animals runs deep – shaped by the wide skies of Africa and the gentle rhythm of farm life. I studied Animal Science and later Veterinary Science at the University of Pretoria, driven by an insatiable curiosity and the desire to understand life in all its forms.

As a veterinarian, I’ve worked with everything from beloved pets to elephants and rhinos. Life then carried us to Hong Kong and later Singapore – places that offered entirely new ways of thinking and caring. These years expanded my view of animal wellness and deepened my belief in a holistic, compassionate approach.
I now live in Munich with my husband and our two spirited boys and continue to follow my calling, somewhere between science, intuition and love.
