    How holistic can your vet get?

    Even if you’re vet is so much into yoga and mantras, doesn’t make him a holistic vet. Well maybe he is – in the holistic human sense. But is he willing to find safer and more natural cure for your pet’s ailments? Or is he quick to prescribe the drugs that flood the shelves of pet stores?
    Finding a real holistic veterinarian is not an easy task. There are self-confessed holistic practitioners that are far from being true blue holistic. Some even condemn the use of traditional drugs and vaccines on animals. However, this does not make them any more holistic than those who are totally dependent on conventional medicines.

    Holistic vets do not deny the fact that conventional drugs and medical procedures are sometimes necessary. In fact, there are diseases that are best addressed when the traditional means work closely with certain holistic modalities.

    So how can you best assess your vet’s “holism”? Buy about 15 or 20 minutes of his time. Talk to the vet about his beliefs, practices, and observe his general attitude towards animals. Make them point out to you what their thoughts are about holism and its modalities. Sometimes, you can tell if a person is just trying to give you answers that are out to please you. You can also bring your pet during the visit. Sometimes, our pets make the best judges. There are vets that are easily liked by the pets because of the genuine affection they give.

    Sometimes, the silent hints are the most important things that we need to know about people. Every veterinarian, whether holistic or not, should only be after the welfare of its patient.

    The existence of holistic veterinary medicine is not because veterinary professionals lost their trust on the traditional means of treating diseases. Generally, the reason why holistic methods have become more popular is because more and more of these professionals have opened up their minds about other techniques of dealing with health issues.

    Almost all forms of modalities available in holistic medicine in humans have been made available to animals as well. There are various workshops, seminars, and educational programs conducted in order to promote these helpful methods. The combination of the traditional and holistic medicine aims to create a healthier and a more benevolent veterinary endeavor. And unless people view it as that, all efforts will just be in vain.
