It's a gift when this happens as it allows me to open out the subject and take it further. If I can help the owners to understand their part in their pets' illnesses it is a wonderful breakthrough. In these cases I believe it was the combination of the healing and the owners' realisation of their dogs' needs that brought about the complete healing of their pets' paws. It is important to look at a sick animal holistically since lifestyle factors may be at the root of the disease. Just like us, an animal can get depressed if they are bored and not having enough stimulation.
Different breeds have lesser or greater needs for a 'job' to do.
Working dogs like collies need to be active and it's something to consider when choosing the right pet for your household. Healthy people have fulfilling lives, and healthy animals need fulfilling lives too. I certainly believe that animals deserve the same access to natural treatments methods as we humans do and it is wonderful to see this field of animal medicine opening up. At home I have a small first aid kit, made up of natural remedies including flower essences, essential oils, herbal creams, homoeopathic tablets and tinctures. I use the same remedies on the dog as I do on myself and have come to realise over the years, working with both people and animals, that we can all gain benefits from natural medicine and often from the same treatments and remedies as our beloved animals.
