Epigenetics. That's the "magic word" for me. It gives me the backing, Epigenetics. That's the "magic word," the scientific proof, that I'm not crazy when I say that avoiding chemicals, avoiding vaccinations for my adult dogs, and that providing a superior diet really does produce shiningly, glowingly healthy pets. This is particularly true when there have been several past generations of dogs who have had their environment, and nutrition, and emotional well-being optimized. I'm convinced this, combined with a good share of God's grace, is primarily the reason our dogs have had no issues with genetic problems.
Traditional medicine definitely has it's place. However, one problem with the traditional approach to health care is that it treats only the symptoms of disease. This approach doesn't always suffice. The living mammalian body is a marvelous, complex creation. Simply treating symptoms of disease tends to be quite inadequate for optimum health and vitality, both physically and emotionally. The goal is to care for your pets, and all those warm-blooded bodies that are depending on you, BEFORE something goes wrong if at all possible! This is the only way to assure they will reach their fullest potential.
It is, therefore, necessary to take care of the entire body, considering all of it's systems and how they interact with one another.
Here we have gathered some information regarding the natural pet products we personally feel are highly beneficial for all types of bodies. Take the time to educate yourself so you can give the best care to all those who are counting on you.

Just like humans, domesticated animals like dogs, cats, and other pets are affected by the health hazards of modern living. Pollution, poor nutrition, stress and unhealthy lifestyles can lead to a variety of illnesses and conditions that are very similar to those experienced by humans.
These days, emotional and psychological problems like depression, anxiety, ADHD and behavioral problems are just as prevalent in pets as they are in their owners. Similarly, physical ailments such as diabetes, arthritis, chronic fatigue, digestive disorders, cystitis, kidney and liver disease, skin disorders, obesity, thyroid dysfunction and other problems are becoming more and more common in domesticated animals.
Many, if not most of these conditions can be prevented by helping your pets to live a healthier lifestyle. For pets already suffering from existing conditions, a combination of lifestyle changes and natural medicine can work wonders!
While it has its place, conventional medicine for animals and 'modern technology' have failed our pets in many ways.
According to pet expert and author CJ Puotinen, most holistic veterinarians and animal health care professions list annual vaccinations and commercial pet foods as the major contributory cause in the rising rates of chronic illness in pets today.
Similarly, Juliette de Bairacli Levy, respected author and renowned animal breeder, points out that contrary to the belief that mass vaccination and antibiotic use will contribute to a decrease in pet disease, the opposite has in fact proved true. Like their human counterparts, today's pets are becoming more and more vulnerable to chronic disease and ill health.
This has led many veterinarians to search for alternatives and to espouse more holistic methods of keeping our pets healthy.
Do herbal and homeopathic
remedies work on pets?
"In the wild, animals instinctively seek out healing herbs to help them when they are ill or undernourished. In fact, Asclepius, the ancient Greek god of medicine, respected dogs very highly for their ability to seek out and eat medicinal herbs in the wild. This ability is shared by other animals, including cats and other pets. We are coming to realize that nature often has the answers - but animals have always known this! Natural medicine can help your pets just as it can help you. While there is always a place for conventional veterinary medicine, natural medicine can compliment conventional veterinary care and in many cases cure your pets just as well - without the side effects and damage to your pets health that can accompany synthetic drugs and antibiotics. I have applied the same care and research that have gone into our Native Remedies range for adults and children to the development of pet-friendly, safe and effective natural remedies for animals. As always, all remedies are formulated to the highest therapeutic standards and manufactured under strict pharmaceutical conditions for your peace of mind and the well being of your pets. "
Michele Carelse, Clinical Psychologist.
"When a veterinary surgeon practices the use of homeopathic medicine for pets and is asked why he does so, he may give one of several answers. The simple answer would be that the results are good, an emphatic answer would be that homeopathic treatment has no unpleasant or dangerous side effects, while still achieving successful results.
The PetAlive Homeopathic range has been formulated with this knowledge and is specifically designed to treat your dog and other pets in a holistic and natural manner."

We feed our dogs only all natural, top quality dog food in three forms: raw, canned, and dry. They also get natural, food based vitamin/mineral supplements on a daily basis. We start our puppies out on Natures Variety Raw Food, and have dry food w/cottage cheese added available throughout the day. We use and/or approve of all the brands on the web pages below for our older puppies and adult dogs. For more info on the natural pet products we prefer, see below:
Here are the natural pet products we use and recommend for disease and parasite prevention for pets: (They are top-notch, all-natural pet products, IMHO, and we take advantage of the, "Buy 2, get one free," offer. They also have package deals for lesser needs.)
Some traditional vets are very skeptical regarding the natural, holistic, homeopathic approach. If you consult a holistic vet, you will get a different opinion than that of a traditional vet. ;o) Still, I recommend you take care of your puppy the way YOU are most comfortable with, but I would like to suggest that you do a bit of research before making up your mind. Please do keep in mind, though, that neither allopathic treatments nor holistic treatments are fool proof. It all boils down to the individual animal's immune system. Is it a strong, healthy immune system? Our main goal is to assist our pets in developing the best immune system they are capable of having.
We would also like to put a plug in for one of our favorite publications:
This is the one magazine that I allow myself time to enjoy. :o) It contains lots of info on the natural health and welfare of the pet world.
