I have been using a NZ herb for my own orthopaedic pain relief at the moment with some good success. Herbs can be used as wonderful nature's tools for many ailments and this article highlights their use for canine joint health.

Two fast facts: 1. Vaccinations are capable of creating disease (and often do!). 2. Repeating vaccinations throughout life just plain don't work. To find out more visit: http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/vaccines-and-vets-is-your-holistic-vet-really-holistic/

Kash has been in again today for a follow up. As some of you may remember Kash came in three weeks ago with one of the worst cases of skin and/or autoimmune disorder I've ever seen. He was severely underweight and it would have been easy to jump to the conclusion that he was being neglected - anything but the truth! All of his bloods have so far failed to provide a clear diagnosis and many specialist visits and thousands of dollars later have provided no cure. Talk about heartbreaking!! I put him on digestive enzymes, complete meal (he is eating for a 40kg dog, not a 14kg), essential fatty acids, homeopathic remedy, anti-inflammatory (he was like a heater to stand next to) and topical support. He came in today still skin and bone. :-( Despite this there have been some positive changes that to a holistic practitioner are great little signs that something is happening. His skin is softer and he is shedding less; he feels normal, not overheated like 3wks ago; he used to tremble constantly, even in his sleep, and the trembling has stopped; he had an irrational fear of walking on grass, avoiding it at all costs, and today he is happy to walk on grass without hesitation; he continues to be interested in playing. Kash's owner is taking him to get further tests (as long as they aren't too invasive) and we've also added a product to clear out any parasites that might be hiding away and utilising some of that precious food. I'll keep you posted on his progress. Please send your best healing wishes and energy to Kash - thanks.

It's always interesting when someone comments that their particular breed of dog should only ever eat a particular protein of food, especially when it's unfounded like German Shepherds and chicken, or Blue Heelers and fish. Huh? Sometimes there is ancestral basis where some people believe that their bred of dog does better on a diet they would primarily eat in their natural habitat. For e.g. sheep herding dogs may traditionally eat a lot of lamb and mutton, duck retrieving dogs may eat a lot of duck, etc. We have to remember though that all of these breeds originated from a wild dog, i.e. the wolf, and have been (over)bred for human requirements. Essentially a raw diet is better than something out of a bag or a can. :-)

I just did an interview with the lovely Lisa for her show The Lisa Aston Show. "...I hadn't really thought about using natural therapies with animals until I was working on a daily basis in a veterinary clinic. I felt that there was far too much focus on the use of drugs, vaccinations, chemical based insecticides and processed foods. Animals didn't seem to get “well” they just seemed to stay “okay” and that “okay” became the norm." - the full audio interview will be available at the end of the month. Thanks Lisa!

Can you tell from the photo which part of the body Josie needed work on today? Josie came in with a digestive complaint. She suffers from constipation. A few dietary tweaks, digestive support, and a homeopathic remedy and hopefully she'll be on the mend. I've also recommended some acupuncture. I offered Josie some Reiki and essential oil therapy. She loved the energy around her lower back and then flipped over for work on her sacral and solar plexus. Animals often tell us exactly where they want the Reiki energy directed. :-)

Today I saw a lovely dog called Kash. He has a chronic skin disorder, mange / autoimmune. His owner has spent thousands on treatments, tests, potions, diets, etc. Kash is 8kg underweight and his skin is just falling off. Heartbreaking stuff! His owner is just beautiful, doing whatever he can for his dog which is really amazing because if you saw this dog on the street you'd think he was mistreated due to the sight of him. Avoid judgement! I have seen quite a few dogs as bad as this and they have all improved tremendously under Natural Animal Care's care and on TCPC's food. Let's see how Kash does! I have taken a before photo, which I won't share yet. I hope in a few months to share this before pic and a BRILLIANT after photo. Stay tuned!!

The lovely Tango came in for Reiki today. She was very hyper to start, leaping around the couch, bounding over her person and me, heightened to the max. I rubbed a drop of the essential oil blend Serenity between my hands and began giving Reiki. She stopped in her tracks, leaned against her person and went into a relaxed, can't-keep-my-eyes-open state. Before too long she was yawning and lying down and by the end we had a very chilled out dog.

I had an amazing dog in today called Ben. He has a digestive issue where he regurgitates water and some food suddenly and without warning from the stomach. We discussed his diet, I worked out a remedy for his specific symptoms, we talked about his restlessness and possible stress levels, and added a digestive enzyme. I also used the essential oil blend DigestZen on a couple of pressure points along his back. Towards the end of the hour consultation I asked his people "do either of you have digestive issues?" YES. Although there are multiple dogs in the household Ben is particularly close with the male owner, who has digestive issues. The topic of human-animal bonds / contracts and mirroring was discussed, and how our pets are often trying to show us something we need to address in ourselves (or vice versa). There was great focus on trying to resolve the dog's issue but the owner wasn't doing the same for himself. Heal thy self and this is very much likely to help heal the animal.

My second patient of the day was a little terrier with recurrent ear infections. He has had this condition for four years, has been to multiple vets, has had many types of ear drops, antibiotics, swabs, and clean outs but the issue keeps coming back. The dog eats a dry food diet so this is the first change we are going to make - stop all grains. I went through his complete history and took full details about the look, smell and consistency of his ear discharge. I narrowed the case down to three homeopathic remedies. The info that helped me to decide on the right remedy was that he is very sensitive to noise. He improves when his surroundings are quiet, and worsens when there is a lot of sound. He is also better for staying in the county, and worse when living in the city. Along with the homeopathic remedy I also recommended a great ear clear product, containing all natural ingredients to gently clean away the debris in and around the area.

My first patient of the day was a little Spoodle with separation anxiety. The owners told me all about how this little dog reacts when she exhibits signs of anxiety. We ruled out past traumas, fears and other possible links in order to pinpoint the true underlying cause. We discussed in depth dog behaviour and how some of the day to day things the owners were doing could be altered. I also spoke to them about possible treatments including a herbal tonic, homeopathy, nutritional supplements and diet. It was a great hour consultation and the owners went away feeling confident that these new tools can help their gorgeous doggy. If your dog suffers from separation anxiety, give me a call to book a consultation.

Cushings Disease occurs when the adrenal gland is overactive. We are seeing some great results in dogs with this condition thru the use of a raw and all-natural diet (Complete Meal), homeopathy, herbs and a wonderful adrenal support nutritional supplement.

A couple of dogs this week have been suffering from hotspots. Remember to always check for fleas as hotspots are often caused by even only a single flea bite. I've been seeing great results from a spray called ItchyScratch. 100ml is only $25. Wash the affected area with some salty water (1 tsp of salt per cup of water), lightly dab dry, and then apply the spray over the affected area. Reapply as needed - it stops the itching immediately. For more information drop me a line.
