Animal Emergency Care

In recent years there has been an amazing rise in the number of dog owners interested in holistic dog care. They share a concern about the amount of chemicals used in conventional treatments. Many believe that an over-dependence on conventional medicine can even be harmful, leading to different types of dog allergy and nasty conditions

'Holistic dog care' is a term that we hear often, but many people admit to being unsure about what it really means.

Okay, let's put that right!

'Holistic' comes from the Greek-based word 'holism', and when applied to medicine (for animals as well as humans!) it means treating the whole 'entity' (body and mind) and not just the symptoms of disease.

Your dog - like you! - has an amazing ability to heal itself. The only problem is that over the years this ability can be dampened down by an over-reliance on chemical 'cures'. Wouldn't it be better to help your pet re-activate his natural dog health, and enable him to ward off harmful diseases and conditions before they take hold?

I became interested in holistic dog care over ten years ago when our Border Collie pup, Ben, contracted a near fatal condition, Demodectic Mange. Conventional medicine actually prolonged the illness and several types of unpleasant treatments had to be tried.

Since we moved to a more holistic and natural approach Ben has never looked back!

Let me stress again, all humans and animals have .
