We’d like to mark the enormous sacrifice people and animals have given in times of war, sometimes without choice and often above and beyond the call of duty. This blog honours the many animals who have helped and continue to help safeguard our future.
We asked integrative vet Dr Sarah Priggen to tell us about her pioneering work using Laser Acupuncture. Here she explains how it works and highlights the first of a series of case studies demonstrating its success with Max the spaniel who faced an uncertain future. A testimonial from his owner is also included.
Nature’s larder provides us with a huge variety of produce at the perfect time when it will be of most benefit to us nutritionally. With a few small changes, we can all benefit from eating seasonally which is better for us, our dogs and the environment. Canine expert Caroline Hearn of Hedgerow Hounds explains the benefits of feeding fresh seasonal produce as part of your dog’s diet with some suggestions for spring, summer, autumn and wintertime.
Separation anxiety can be challenging for dogs, causing distress when they are apart from their cherished human or animal companion. Even separation from a constant canine friend can trigger anxiety in some dogs. The best support we can offer is to develop independence whilst we are with them at home, allowing them to be calm and content when left alone. We asked canine behaviourist Caroline Spencer to explain how to identify, avoid or overcome canine separation anxiety and provide some top tips for pet parents.
Welcome to the inaugural interview of our Holistic Animal Chats. We are excited to bring you an interview with Rob Ryan, founder of Gussy’s Gut, a new fermented whole superfood topper for dogs that’s transforming canine nutrition.
There is so much information made available about diseases and illnesses in our pets, but much less about how to maintain their health. Lise had me hooked very early on with the statement: “Being healthy means so much more than simply not being ill”. Canine behaviourist and nutritionist Morag Sutherland reviews this book written by an integrated vet qualified in CAM treatments including homeopathy.It is a complete and comprehensive guide to health care for cats and dogs, providing invaluable advice on essential aspects of care such as diet and vaccinations, as well as a guide to holistic treatments.
An audio testimonial from Glen about Henry, his Yorkshire Terrier who was diagnosed with third stage kidney disease.
Glen is incredibly grateful to the holistic vet who used homeopathy and was able to ease Henry back to a good quality of life.
We are celebrating holistic veterinary care and the added benefit of having access to CAM as well as conventional treatments. To mark CAM4animals’ third anniversary, we asked Teresa Bacon to tell us about Jimi, her rescue dog, and how integrated veterinary care made a significant difference to his life.
Animals (and we can) self-select remedies that are needed from the wild. It is an innate ability we all developed over thousands of years in order to survive, and it is an ability we still have.
