The Holistic Dog Homeopathy - Herbs - Acupuncture - Chiropractic - Holistic Medicine When setting about treating a dog holistically, we have to apply different skills and techniques, to those used in horses, cats or farm animals. Each species has its own peculiarities and places its own demands, although exactly the same holistic principles apply to each. A dog may also have a human purpose to affect his life and his existence. We therefore need to look at the requirements for work that his owner places upon him and how these might impinge upon his health and welfare. Management, lifestyle, feeding, supplements, conditions and chemicals in house and garden, exercise and bedding may each have a part to play and, without a deeper understanding of these topics, much can be overlooked that may unwittingly prevent a cure. Furthermore, because his back is central to a dog's ability to move, chiropractic intervention should be considered. All this is before we consider medicine! We can then select a therapy or design an integrated therapeutic strategy for the patient, depending upon his particular needs. This will be designed to stimulate the body's own healing capability. We then require a monitoring programme, so that progress can be assessed and any changes in the patient can elicit a response from the prescriber, in a timely fashion. It is precisely because of this attention to detail, and because most of our medicines stimulate endogenous healing capability, that many serious and seemingly intractable conditions can respond to holistic treatment.
