Many wait and use conventional medicine as the very last resort when something goes wrong. In treating pets holistically, the prevention of conditions that a regular vet would ignore, get looked at as first priority. Development of diarrhea for example or relining of the gums. By treating conditions as these early, the vet can help avoid complications. A variety of pets are being treated holistically from birds to cats to dogs.
Holistic veterinarians use many of the modalities found in holistic medicine for humans.
