Holistic Dog Ownership Takes Total Commitment
So, you want
to be a holistic dog owner, but you're not quite sure what that means? The
short definition of holistic is looking at the whole dog, as well as the root
problems, rather than just the symptoms. Basically, you have to look at your dog
as individual, and take into consideration their age, breed, overall health,
lifestyle, and even your own level of commitment as the owner.
Feeding your dog
a raw diet, aromatherapy, visiting a veterinary acupuncture specialist, and
even dog massages are all part of the holistic approach. Holistic health care
tries to return the body to balance and heal from within, instead of resorting
to drugs or surgery. You might even want to start your dog on a holistic path
from puppyhood by starting home-prepared meals, keeping unnecessary vaccines to
a minimum, and finding a vet who believes in the holistic approach.
There are
lots of terms to understand once you've made the decision to switch, and below
you'll find some of the more common lingo and their meanings.
Homeopathy-
Sometimes this is confused with holistic, but is actually a complex healing
system based on the theory of "like cures like." The thinking is that if a
large amount of something can cause symptoms, then a small amount can return
the body's balance and possibly cure them.
Modality-
This just means method of treatment. Chiropractic and homeopathic are both
different forms of this and a vet can target just one of these specialties, or
can have backgrounds in several.
Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM) - This is a healing system that incorporates herbs and
acupuncture. The idea of TCM is that life-sustaining energy, or chi, flows throughout the
body, and when it's blocked, disease may occur.
To find a
holistic vet in South Florida - call us at FDC - 954-360-2871 and we can recommend a few
depending on where you live!

Family Dog Central Helps Labs Find Forever Homes
 The success
continues!
We've told you about the new homes for Callaway and Bosco, and now
we have three more labs: Ace, Flash & Ralph that were able to find homes
here at FDC!
Flash,
Ralph and Ace all had the
privilege of staying and playing at FDC while they waited for their
forever
home. All were adopted out to great families and are so thankful to
Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida (and all the great volunteers) who
donate their time and love so they can find a family who will truly
love them!
To find out how you can become a volunteer, or just learn more about
Lab
Rescue, visit their website at www.labradorrescue.net.
