Holistic Vet Resources
The holistic health goal is not just to treat dis-ease or illness, but to effect a permanent CURE. Holistic methods can do this, whereas traditional man made medicines usually only effect a temporary relief from illness or dis-ease.
Naturally raised animals rarely succumb to disease, illness, or bad behaviors. When they do, they bounce back quicker than traditionally raised animals. They get plenty of exercise, sunshine, love, tlc, clean fresh water, natural rearing foods that are biologically appropriate to the specific animal, clean environments, mental exercise in the way of proper, appropriate training, and avoidance of toxins. They have jobs to keep them busy, whether watching the house while we are gone or making sure the couch or cats don’t get eaten while we are away. They are part of our family. Often, our furred, feathered, finned, or scaled companions are better than a few humans in our immediate family and deserve the BEST possible health care we can give them.
