This is a reprint from Natural Pet magazine. Generations of thriving, healthy animals highlight the success of holistic breeding practices. Changed, but not necessarily improved.
Procreation takes many forms and employs seemingly endless variety among species.
The increasing realization that the birds and the bees do it best when left to their own devices has owners and practitioners rethinking the fertility game. In fact, veterinarians and breeders who practice natural health care in other areas of animals' lives see definite connections between holistic manage-ment and sound breeding results. Dr. Chambreau practices holistic medicine through the use of homeopathy and herbs, and lectures and teaches throughout the country. She believes that Western medicine and modem breeding practices have done a disservice to companion animals. To illustrate, Dr. Chambreau points to one of the most popular dog breeds in the country.
