Naturopathy for Animals
Like Naturopathy in humans, Animal Naturopathy is an alternative form of healing using only natural, non-invasive, drug-free methods, to prevent and treat illness in animals.
Different modalities such as Homeopathy, Herbal medicine, Massage, Nutrition, or any combination of these may be used in the treatment, depending on the animal & the condition being treated.
Some of the many conditions that can benefit from naturopathic treatment are:
Skin disorders such as eczema, flea allergies, warts and ringworm. Ear problems, mites and infections, eye discharge, arthritis, allergies, fleas and ticks, kidney, heart and liver problems, chronic infections, digestive problems, abscesses, worms, fur balls, gum disease, excess weight and behavioral problems.
Diet is extremely important in maintaining optimum health for all animals, dogs and cats are no exception to this, especially when many are fed on a totally unnatural diet of highly processed canned and dried food. It is not uncommon for some dogs and cats to have never eaten any fresh food at all. In the wild both dogs and cats would live solely on fresh RAW food. It is totally natural for them to eat raw meat and bones, and they will be much healthier than when fed processed foods. It has also been shown that animals fed on a 100% raw food diet have fewer intestinal parasites, healthy, strong teeth and gums, shiny coat, fresher breath and less 'doggy' smell than those on processed food.
Dogs and cats are Carnivores, so their diet should consist of fresh, raw meaty bones with finely minced vegetables. Don't make the mistake of feeding only meat to your dog or cat, as this is unbalanced and will lead to health problems!
Animals generally respond extremely well to natural therapies. But most importantly, they are totally safe and non-toxic. All animals can benefit - dogs, cats, horses, goats, sheep, cows, birds, guinea pigs, chickens and fish!
Naturopathy involves treating the whole animal, rather than just the symptoms, to balance and improve the animals overall health, and not just the current ailment. Consultations involve taking a complete history of the pet's diet, medical and health status, and providing details of recommendations along with any therapies that may be indicated.
