Holistic healthcare solutions for dogs

The body has natural healing abilities. Holistic healing and alternative health care solutions support the body in healing itself. Holistic health care includes complementary natural health remedies, such as acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, Reiki, herbs, remedies, and an abundance of health and wellness products and services.

“The word ‘holistic’ means taking the whole picture of the patient, the environment, the disease pattern, the relationship of the pet with the owner, and then developing a treatment protocol using a wide range of therapies for healing the patient. Veterinary medicine, like all professions, is rapidly changing. Additional modalities of diagnosis and therapy are emerging in both veterinary and human medicine. The populace as a whole is looking for ‘complementary,’ ‘alternative’ or ‘holistic’ care for themselves and for their pets.”
