Taking Holistic Pet Care Seriously Will Benefit Your Pet
Holistic pet health is not just new-age hippie nonsense, we promise
According to the American Kennel Club,
“Holistic medicine treats the person (or, in this case, animal) as a whole: mind, body, spirit. It uses several different practices, including acupuncture, massage, herbal remedies, chiropractic treatment, aromatherapy, nutrition, acupressure, and even sound therapy to address a variety of ailments and conditions.”
Holistic healing has come a long way and it is not just about burning incense and dancing around under a full moon. (Although those are great ways to relieve stress, we are told).
Many veterinarians these days understand the benefits of holistic healing, so you should feel free to discuss these options with them at your next visit.
One of the most widely accepted and practised parts of holistic pet care is pet massages.

The Benefits Of Pet Massages Include:
- A strengthened bond between pet and owner
- Relaxation that can improve behaviour
- Relief from minor aches and pains
- It is an opportunity to examine your pet closely for lesions, or injuries that might point to bigger health problems
- Correctly massaging an injury can be a healing aid, like physiotherapy for humans.
While you could get an expert in to massage your pet for you, you can also learn how to do it yourself.
The Dog whisperer himself, Cesar Milan, is a massive supporter of dog massages and gives a full breakdown of the benefits and best way forward, just follow the link:
