Like their human counterparts, today’s pets are more and more often are succumbing to chronic diseases. Health hazards that impact our own lives affect our pets as well!
Many dogs and cats are exposed to pollution and stress, fed unhealthy, unnatural foods and live unhealthy lifestyles– no wonder they end up suffering to problems similar to our own. They are often diagnosed with psychological disorders ranging from depression, to anxiety and ADHD; they too often develop chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, arthritis, chronic fatigue, digestive disorders, kidney and liver disease, skin disorders and thyroid dysfunction.
The good news is that most pet health problems can be prevented by switching to a healthier lifestyle! And for pets who already suffer from health challenges, a combination of lifestyle changes and natural medicine often works wonders!
Conventional medicine for animals certainly has its place. However, many holistic vets and animal health care experts feel that poor health which is epidemic in today’s pets is a result of excessive vaccinations, unhealthy pet foods and reliance on antibiotics.
Animals in the wild will often instinctively look for herbs, which can help them when they are sick or undernourished. Even domestic pets will often do so, if they are able. So why is it so hard for us to accept that solutions to many of our pets’ health problems come from nature not from the laboratory?
Natural medicine can be amazingly effective, either on its own, or as a complement to conventional veterinary care. Equally importantly, it can work without the side effects that often accompany antibiotics and drugs.
