Behavioral treatment

Some animals develop undesirable behaviors such as excessive barking, soiling or spraying in the house, or aggression. Such behaviors can be reduced or eliminated through treatment. Factors such as diet, environment, exercise and training are evaluated during the initial screening and a treatment plan is then developed. Follow-up appointments monitor the animal's progress and modify the treatment plan.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy is an ancient art dating back to India's Ayurvedic and to Greece at the time of Hippocrates. An eighteenth century chemist, Samuel Hahnemann, developed the system in use today. Homeopathy is a system of medicine that stimulates the individual to recuperate and cure oneself. The remedies are derived from natural substances which contain essences that match the patterns present in the diseased state within the ailing patient. The remedy brings the patient back into balance, thus eliminating the disease. Homeopathic treatment has been very effective in the management of physical and behavioral disorders in dogs and cats.

The use of certain herbs and plants for medicinal purposes has been practiced for centuries by people (and animals) all over the world. We employ herbs for preventive and medicinal uses.
