Her research on vaccinations and keys for maintaining optimal health are extensive and backed by science, training, and personal experience. Additionally, her New Puppy consult is not to be missed, as it is chock full of all you need to raise a happy, healthy puppy. I could not recommend her more highly.” – M.B. & pups

Homeostasis is a word often heard in animal naturopathy. What is it?

It is the state of harmonious balance and rhythm among mind, body, spirit, and environment. While homeostasis naturally fluctuates, nature’s laws cannot be ignored without consequences; imbalance is guaranteed. This dishonors the animal.

🐾 Why Use an Animal Naturopath?

Animal naturopathy assists your pet’s body in building, repairing, and maintaining health. The highly skilled Animal Naturopath can provide critical information to clients (pet owners) that they may never encounter on their own or while working with an allopathic practitioner.

The benefit of a naturopathic approach to animal health is just that, health!

🐾 What are the foundational principles of Animal Naturopathy?

Animal Naturopathy is based on six principles:

1. Healing Power of Nature- The body has an innate ability to heal itself. Animal Naturopaths support and assist the body in this process.

2. Identify and Address the Cause- Animal Naturopaths are trained to find and remove underlying obstacles to health rather than simply eliminate or suppress symptoms.

3. First Do No Harm- Animal Naturopaths use natural methods and medicines that minimize the risk of harmful side effects.

4. Teach- The word “doctor” means teacher. Through education Animal Naturopaths empower the client and encourage individual responsibility for their animal’s health.

5. Target the Whole Animal- The causes of illness may occur on a physical, mental, or emotional level. Animal Naturopathy uses a multi-dimensional approach taking all aspects into account.

6. Prevention is the Best Cure- Animal Naturopaths emphasize building health to keep existing health challenges from developing into a more serious or chronic state.

Q: What Methods Do Animal Naturopaths Use?

A: A few of the many tools Animal Naturopaths utilize are:

Nutrition- Animal Naturopaths have extensive training in assessing nutritional status and species appropriate diets, vitamin and mineral supplementation.

Botanicals- Scientific studies have validated the use of plants as medicine (phytotherapy). Animal Naturopaths turn to herbs for immune support, to normalize bodily function, improve digestion, etc.

Aromatherapy- Animal Naturopaths are trained in the safe use of therapeutic essential oils.

Flower Essences- Based on the non-invasive approach discovered by Edwin Back, M.D. in the 20th century, Animal Naturopaths utilize flower essences that address the emotional component of most disease processes.

Homeopathy- Animal Naturopaths may recommend homeopathic remedies based on an animal’s unique characteristics to address all sorts of acute or chronic illness.

Bodywork- Acupressure, chiropractic, and massage are forms of bodywork often recommended by Animal Naturopaths.

Whole Prey-model raw feeding is what I recommend and feed to my own carnivore companions. However, there are times, like during travel, when feeding raw meat is inconvenient. What to do?

Enter freeze-dried diets.

There are many brands available with varied ingredients so always do your research. Freeze-dried diets most often come in nugget form.

Some contain ground bone, some don't. Most are made with human-grade ingredients.

Others have added fruit and vegetables. Carnivores are not able to completely digest carbohydrates so steer clear of those brands.

Still others add a vitamin pack. I recommend choosing a brand that does not add vitamins since they are almost always synthetic. That means they are not bioavailable to the body, are not recognized by the body as beneficial, and actually act as toxins. Not good!

While I don’t suggest that freeze-dried diets comprise a carnivore’s entire diet, in some circumstances they are a valuable addition to keep your companion on the raw path for health and balance. 🥩
