HOLISTIC VETERINARY CARE
LIFESTYLE MATTERS
Holistic pet care encompasses a wide range of topics but the most important are probably diet, parasite control, vaccines and dental care. All are the building blocks of health for your pet, and the choices you make should be informed and weigh the environmental and lifestyle factors that your pet faces. They, in large part, will help or hinder your animal friend's overall health and happiness.
HOW DO WE PROTECT OUR PET'S HEALTH?
1. Regular dental care, both professionally and at home.
2. Feed a good quality diet (including real food) from puppy/kittenhood into old age.
3. Use appropriate parasite control, making choices based on risk/benefit. If pesticides are the best choice for your pet, use liver supporting supplements while they are used.
4. Vaccinate sparingly and appropriately. Use titers when possible to determine if vaccines are really necessary, as well as risk/benefit to determine which vaccines should be given.
Detailed information on each of these important topics follows in subsequent pages
for you to read.
