What is Veterinary Naturopathy?
In brief, the term 'Naturopathy' describes a system of medicine based on the healing power of nature. Naturopathy is a holistic system, meaning that animal naturopaths strive to find the cause of disease by understanding the animal/patient as a totality of body, mind, and spirit to find the cause and utilize the laws of nature to bring about a healing or cure.

A naturopath's spectrum of nature's modalities include the simple, natural use of species specific nutrition, pure water, exercise, etc. Naturopathy includes approved natural healing modalities such as Herbal Medicine, Aromatherapy, Homeopathy, Massage, etc. in the prevention and when needed, the healing of our animals/pets

There are two areas of focus in naturopathy: one is supporting the body's own healing abilities, and the other is empowering individuals to make lifestyle changes necessary for the animal's best possible health. While veterinary naturopaths treat both short bouts of illness and chronic conditions, their emphasis is on prevention of disease and education.

"But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all humankind." (Job 12:7-10)
