What Does "Holistic Health" mean?

You may be wondering what the term "holistic" means when it comes to your pets and companion animals.  Lately, this term has been thrown around as synonymous with "natural," "organic" or "healthy."  It goes without saying that, although these terms are somewhat related, they do not mean the same thing.
 
Holistic health is beyond looking at symptoms, but rather looking at the entire animal, its environment, diet, sleeping area, habits, and other factors to see the whole (or "holistic") story of what that animal or pet needs the most.

Homemade Cat Food Recipes

Here are some delicious recipes for you to make for your cat(s) - if your cat is on a special diet, consult with your veterinarian first.
 
Kitty Un-kibble
 
 
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 cups cooked potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil (Less if fatty meats are used)
  • 2 pounds of minced meat red or white;(liver/heart/kidney/tripe) or fish or a combination.
  • 4 tablespoons of food supplement powder
  • 2 tablespoons of bonemeal (3,000mg of Calcium or 1 3/4 teaspoon of eggshell powder)
  • 10,000 units of Vitamin A (fish oils)

Herbs for Animals

          Aloe (internal or external)
To soothe upset digestive tracts and help restore mucous membranes. Also helpful for external minor cuts, burns, rashes and irritations.
 
Vitamin C
Its reputation as a powerful vitamin helpful for many conditions is well deserved. Essential to the production of collagen (the glue that keeps cells together), vitamin C is also a natural anti-histamine, anti-inflammatory and anti-biotic. Dogs and cats can make their own vitamin C, but larger amounts are helpful in times of stress or illness.
