Natural health for cats and dogs is a way of raising animals that mimics their natural ("wild") lifestyle as much as possible. Natural health for our companion pets comprises of diet, holistic herbal medicine, nutritional supplements and myotherapy in an integrated whole to produce the best possible outcomes for the health and longevity of your beloved animal.

The Philosophy of Natural Health for Dogs and Cats

The philosophy behind the natural health for companion pets is that dogs and cats have survived for as long as they did because their bodies were adapted to constructively obtain energy from certain food sources, whilst engaging in natural activities that kept them alive whilst they were  catching their food. The central core of natural health is that the dog or cat in nature was in the state of health that enabled fitness and procreation of their species for thousands of years, and that a similar diet and exercise is a more reliable means of pet health than using processed dog or cat food and limiting their movement.

Feeding Your Cat or Dog a Natural Diet

Before but particularly since the recent scares in our media over the contamination of processed companion pet food and subsequent illness of dogs and cats, there has been a resurgence of interest in treating pets with natural care methods.  Natural feeding of dogs and cats focuses on providing the animal with a diet similar to what its species thrived on through history-raw meat and bones with some vegetation.

Our faithful dogs will never fully express the pain they may be suffering, so take the guess work out by giving them the best chance ever.
