By submitting your link via this form, you warrant the following:
The site you refer to provides information on a holistic veterinarian or a holistic veterinary hospital.
Let's specify what we mean with "holistic":
- Working on a premise of considering and treating the whole dog, not just an isolated symptom;
- Acceptance of the value of other medical modalities than traditional allopathic medicine;
- Prioritizing the animal's well-being above financial concerns and above political dictations from authorities, including government, veterinary associations, and commercial enterprises;
- Being open to discuss the pros and cons of any proposed treatment plan with the client/owner.
And here are just a few examples of what a holistic veterinarian will never do:
- vaccinate a sick or injured or traumatized animal;
- proceed with an intrusive treatment of an ailment without having a certain diagnosis;
- recommend or use yearly vaccinations with multiple vaccines;
- recommend grain-based carbohydrate-rich kibble products as adequate food for a carnivore;
- recommend or use preventive medication against diseases that do not prevail in the area;
- try to make you believe that he/she knows everything there is to know about dealing with dog health and dog disease.
If your site does not fit the above description, then please use this link page instead.
