Just like people, pets get sick too, and our dogs and cats deserve to be taken care of in the same way that we support the health of our own bodies. Animals have accidents, and suffer from illnesses, diseases and conditions that are damaging to their health and spirits. They are exposed to environmental hazards, and are prone to feelings of depression and anxiety.
Unfortunately, our animals can’t verbalize to us when these things are happening. At times it is not obvious and we carry on with our daily lives while our dependent furry friends suffer.
I don’t know about you but I like the idea of caring for my pets when and where I can. I also prefer to avoid spending a fortune on a visit to the vet if I have the knowledge to care for my animal at home, in a familiar environment and with the love of my own touch. There’s no doubt that a visit to the veterinarian is sometimes necessary, but there are things that we can do naturally on our own.
