A Holistic Approach to Pet Care
Holistic health care means choosing minimally invasive options and providing support so the body can heal itself. Pet owners must make every effort to do their own research and educate themselves. At The Fuzzy Butts Blog, we recommend consulting with both a conventional vet and a holistic vet for major concerns. This gives you more than one opinion and helps you see the issue from both sides. Taking an open-minded approach could help you avoid invasive surgery, procedures, or tests.
Choosing the right veterinarian is crucial to providing holistic care for your pet. Don’t wait until your pet is sick to find out that he’s not open-minded to hearing your opinions or considering alternative treatments. Be clear about your holistic pet care goals from the beginning and ask lots of questions to ensure that you’re both on the same page.

Keeping your pet and home free of fleas is important for your pet’s health. Flea populations explode in the spring. Chances are good that if you have a pet, you will be dealing with fleas this time of year. Even if your pet never goes outside, fleas can jump on your shoes or clothing and hitch a ride into the house. Once inside, they will find places to hide and multiply. Most people don’t realize that fleas generally don’t live on the animals they feed on. Usually, they just jump on the animal to feed, and then jump off and hide in dark, out of the way places. Some of their favorite spots are underneath of furniture and in carpets and upholstery.
