Holistic veterinary medicine takes a comprehensive approach to pet care, focusing on the entire animal rather than just specific symptoms. It considers physical health, emotional well being, and the environment. This means using natural treatments, proper nutrition, and stress reduction techniques to support you and your pet’s overall health. Each small effort you make today like improving their diet or providing more exercise contributes to a happier and healthier life for you and your furry friend.

Raw feeding involves providing pets, primarily dogs and cats, with a diet consisting of uncooked meats, bones, organs, and sometimes vegetables. Advocates of raw feeding believe it closely mimics the natural diet of animals in the wild, providing more bioavailable nutrients. Benefits of raw feeding include improved digestion, healthier skin and coat, cleaner teeth, increased energy, and reduced allergy symptoms. Additionally, proponents claim that it can lead to smaller, less odorous stools and overall better health outcomes for pets. However, it requires careful handling to avoid contamination and balanced nutrient formulation.

Hi everyone! I’ve been thinking a lot about the parallels between raising healthy kids and caring for our pets, especially when it comes to natural approaches. In both cases, we focus on preventive care, nutrition, and creating safe environments. What natural remedies or routines have you found beneficial for pets that you think could apply to human health as well? Are there any overlaps in your approach to caring for pets and kids that you’ve noticed? Especially the young kiddos. I work primarily with preschool to kindergartners so you can just imagine unless you have your own the struggles of getting fruits and veggies and just being completely natural can be. I know starting early in life helps, but what about for parents wanting to maybe transition everyone in the household. I hope everyone is having a fantastic day!!💜

Good afternoon everyone! I wanted to start by expressing how much i appreciate this community and what we are all here for. We are all doing great things and im blessed to be a part of this and to be given an opportunity to do what i love while educating and learning from others. A couple years ago i found 2 cats in a dirty leaf pile crying and screaming. After a couple days of checking on them, i realized they were not being cared for and that i would have to step up and lead these cats to a better life. At first i had no idea how much time and money i would be spending on these cats but it ultimately brought me closer to what i love doing, caring for animals. After a while i started trying to make home remedies to help cost and their overall health. My invention was a rosemary flea/tick spray that was SUPPOSED to help with the problem but unfortunately it did not although it made them smell really nice. In the end i was proud of myself for even trying to create something and it pushed me closer to my true passion of helping animals in a natural way. Im wondering if any of you guys have tried to make an at-home remedy for your animals, what it was for, and how well did it work? Im hoping we can gather some new ideas from eachother! Hope everyone is having a great day! (:
