The Growing Popularity of Holistic Pet Care
Nearly 40 percent of all Americans currently utilize some form of holistic or integrative medicine for themselves or family members, from the regular use of supplements to chiropractic care, acupuncture, and herbal therapies. Many people seek out these options when stubborn health conditions are not improving with conventional medicine or to boost their overall immune system and wellness. Did you know that the same therapies are now available to your pets?
What is holistic pet care?
Holistic pet care begins by considering the whole animal, including the mind, emotions, physical body, and microbiome instead of focusing on treating just the symptoms that your pet may be experiencing. Holistic veterinarians are concerned with everything that a pet is exposed to through diet, their environment, medications and supplements, household cleaners and chemicals, vaccinations, and more. All these factors can impact your pet’s health and longevity. In addition, holistic veterinarians utilize a broad spectrum of treatment options, from conventional to alternative, to maximize your pet’s wellness.
Pet owners often seek out holistic options when persistent conditions such as allergies, auto-immune diseases, cancer, or common diseases of aging such as arthritis are not responding to conventional approaches. Acupuncture, for example, can decrease inflammation and improve circulation to help with a variety of health conditions, while stem cell therapy can be useful for osteoarthritis and in the repair of bone and ligament issues. Ozone therapy introduces ozone into your pet’s body to stimulate the immune system. Ozone has strong antioxidant and anti-aging effects and can assist with a wide range of conditions including cardiovascular disease, complications from diabetes, infections such as Lyme Disease, and cancer. Each of these therapies can be used in conjunction with other conventional or integrative therapies or on their own.
There are many benefits to pursuing a holistic approach for your pet’s care. Some of these include a healthier immune system, an expanded range of treatment options, a reduction of pain and stress, and maximizing the quality of life and longevity of your pet. In addition to offering popular chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture to improve wellness and reduce pain and inflammation, Longevity Veterinary Center’s team of integrative doctors also offers stem cell therapy, thermography, cold laser therapy, ozone therapy, homeopathy, microbiome replacement therapy (MBRT), herbal remedies, non-anesthetic dental (NAD), and options such as ovary-sparing spays for your pets.
