Holistic Pet Care
Holistic is an approach to a patient's care in which the "whole" is taken into account. Rather than simply treating the synptoms of a particular ailment or disease, a holistic approach looks at other factors such as the patient's physical and mental state, social interactions, diet and environment. Holistic treatment may also involve conventional medicine and surgery, dietary changes, supplements with antioxidants and/or vtiamins, acupuncture, herbs, and, homeopathy. Our goal is simple: to provide what is best for your pet.
Holistic treatment options we offer:
- Acupuncture
- Nutrition Counseling
- Homeopathy
- Herbal Remedies
- Nutraceuticals
About Acupuncture
Acupuncture stimulates the immune system by releasing a variety of hormones that help the patient's body respond to injury and stress. It also serves to increase the circulation, blood pressure, rhythm and stroke volume of the heart and promote the production of red and white blood cells.
Cortisol is one of the compounds triggered by acupuncture. Natural cortisol is an anti-inflammatory agent.
For maximum effectiveness, acupuncture usually requires multiple sessions. The dog is generally treated 1-3 times pef week for 5-6 weeks. A positive response is expected after 1/3 of the treatments are complete. Chronic conditions may take longer to register an improvement. After the initial sessions, treatment may taper off to 3-4 times per year.
Most dogs become relaxed and even a bit sleepy for up 24 hours after treatment.
