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.
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.
Kai the Belgian Shepherd Malinois was adopted by Mat Dixon and became one of the very few fire dogs in the country. Galen Myotherapy helps keep him in top condition. This is their story….
Elbow Dysplasia is a common cause of lameness in dogs. It can affect one or both front limbs. We asked veterinary physiotherapist and TTouch Practitioner, Julie Moss, to describe the possible symptoms, causes and various treatments that are available as part of integrated veterinary care.
Integrative vet Dr Iris Ege highlights the main considerations in getting a puppy along with what to feed them and the routine measures to optimise their health you should consider implementing once they are home.
We take a look at this new free booklet about pain in dogs and how to help written by one of our regular bloggers, massage therapist Yasmin Porritt.
“You are what you eat” applies to our dogs and cats too! Unsurprisingly, there’s increasing evidence that a fresh raw diet has health benefits for our canine and feline friends. For example, dogs generally have cleaner, stronger teeth and can be healthier and happier on a diet they would naturally choose themselves such as raw meaty bones, fresh meat and organs, vegetables, berries and herbs. You will hear the words ‘Biologically appropriate’, ‘BARF’, Prey Model and Fresh but essentially they are all raw food diets for dogs (although fresh can mean cooked too). It is worth doing some research about raw feeding as there are aspects that need careful consideration.
