If the pet is better served with a complementary therapy, or a combination of conventional and complementary therapies, we take this approach. Holistic means being open-minded to what is in the best interest of the pet. By combining both conventional therapies and complementary therapies such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional supplementation, and homeopathy, we can help the pet heal itself and stay healthy. There is no one correct complementary therapy. Sometimes acupuncture is best, other times herbal therapy may work better.
All pets can benefit from healthy diets and proper nutritional supplementation.
By considering the specific needs of the pet, we can fashion a treatment plan from all of the different therapies to help heal the pet. That depends upon a number of factors, including your pet's age, nutritional status, and overall health. That's not to say these drugs can't be safely used when indicated. I only mean to imply that they are among the medications most frequently over-prescribed, overused, and overabused. In many instances complementary therapies can be more safely used as we attempt to wean the pet off of these more potent medications.
