What is holistic Pet Care?

Holistic pet care refers to caring for the "whole" pet. In other words, what is best for the whole pet? Too many doctors focus on just the specific problem at hand, trying to treat a specific problem rather than treat the whole pet or prevent disease.

Holistic care looks at the whole pet, including diet, nutritional supplements, preventive care, parasite control, grooming, and exercise. We don't overlook the whole pet and just focus in on one disease. Likewise, we don't neglect conventional therapies when they are indicated. If a pet needs surgery or a medication to get better, we can use these treatments. If the pet is better served with a complementary therapy, or a combination of conventional and complementary therapies, we take this approach. Holistic means being open-minded to what is in the best interest of the pet.

By combining both conventional therapies and complementary therapies such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional supplementation, and homeopathy, we can help the pet heal itself and stay healthy.

loose 15kg and get back to my best shape

If I can't give up my van (for now), what's the fastest way to shrink my carbon footprint? I figure it's stopping eating my fellow mammals.

I often find meat rather gross to eat and don't really see the point. I've slowly begun to change my eating habits, but it's time I went all the way.

Over the course of the last year, in spurts, I've been able to cut most of the pop out of my diet, but not all. Just doing this much has allowed me to lose 30 pounds in the last 6 months. To me, that is pretty amazing. And really, I don't miss it too much. I would, however, like to finish the process and cut it out entirely. I feel so much healthier these days, not downing my daily dose of liquid candy.
