Holistic Pet Care

People aren’t the only ones today looking at alternatives to potentially toxic medicines and supplements for a healthier lifestyle. Many pet owners are also taking the time to research the medicines, foods and flea and tick powders that they have been using on their pet dogs and cats to find out if there might be a better way to care for their pets. Pet owners are also paying close attention to the amount of vaccines a pet animal is shot up with on a yearly basis and rightfully asking if this type of treatment is even necessary.

Holistic veterinarian care is not a new science or trend in the pet world. Rather it is a practical approach to caring for pets that questions the need for toxic flea and tick powders, multiple vaccination shots and foods and snacks that contain dangerous fungal coatings, bacteria and melamine. Common pet treats such as pig’s ears, biscuits, jerky and rawhide snacks can all contain harmful additives that will weaken your pet’s immune system and cause havoc with their digestive systems.

Just the same many flea and tick powders used on pet dogs and pet cats can contain dangerous neurotoxins that are immediately absorbed into the pet’s blood stream upon contact and have in many cases induced seizures and in some rare cases resulted in paralysis and death. Though many flea and tick sprays, powders and drops are effective in killing off some parasites what often happens is a natural immunity is built up to the pesticide meaning next season your pet will be attacked by a new super-parasite that is immune to the previous pesticide. While pet owners rarely mean their loved ones any harm many are inadvertently poisoning their best friends simply because they don’t know any better.

Holistic pet care is a natural caring approach to treating pet dogs, cats and horses that substitutes harmful and often toxic pet products for all-natural and non-toxic pet remedies that will lead to healthier and happier lives for your pet. Helping to educate pet owners holistic veterinarians are supplying the marketplace with facts and information about dangerous pet products and foods and alternatives you can use to ensure your pet is free from toxic treatments that can weaken their immune system in the long run and cause multiple problems. With a little research and an open mind pet owners can provide high quality, safe and effective care for their pets without compromising their well-being.
