As cats and dogs live with us for longer periods of time, they are privy to our habits and faults, facing environmental toxins, antibiotic overuse, commercial convenience foods, and chemical parasite products. As a result, they are developing more complex imbalances affecting the immune system. They also get stomach ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, high cholesterol, and thyroid and heart disorders. In short, they mirror all of our problems. This guide is is filled with natural and holistic practices that can return pets to health and keep them there. Set in an A-Z format, this book makes it easy to look up any issue your pet has.
As a pioneer in the field of veterinary holistic therapies, Dr. Schwartz has learned from animals themselves for over thirty years of her clinical practice. She brings holistic veterinary healing to cats, dogs and horses, and operates the Heal*Learn Institute for educating YOU.
A 1978 graduate of Washington State University Veterinary School, Dr. Schwartz expanded her healing techniques to combine Traditional Chinese Medicine ~ acupuncture, acupressure, tuina massage and herbs ~ along with Classical Homeopathy, bio energetics and tuning fork resonance for balancing the whole animal. Dr. Schwartz's unique ability to synthesize holistic modalities using knowledge, skill and intuition has helped thousands of animals around the world, and empowered their humans to continue their care at home.
An educator for more than twenty years, Dr. Schwartz believes animal caregivers can be guided to use various holistic modalities for their own animal friends' well being.
