These claims and dozens more face dog owners looking for everything from nourishing food to remedies for parasite infestations and cures for disease. Oftentimes the declarations are accompanied by criticism of traditional veterinary medicine, prepared diets, and pharmaceutical treatments, leaving dog owners in a quandary about canned and dry foods, vaccinations, drugs, and other pet care products. It is as difficult to weave among the claims for dog diets and health as it is to find the right combination of traditional and alternative products for human families. Raw diets, home-cooked diets, herbs, homeopathic remedies, acupuncture, magnets, massage, acupressure, chiropractic  all these and more are touted as necessary to maximum canine health, leaving dog owners with a dizzying array of choices. ThereÂs no doubt that modern veterinary medicine has achieved milestones in pet health both through direct research and through adaptation of human medicine to animal companions. From antibiotics, steroids, non-steroidal pain relievers, and other drugs to diagnostic procedures and understanding of disease processes, human and animal medicine have worked hand in hand. ItÂs not surprising, therefore, that an upsurge in attention to holistic practices in human medicine would pique the interest of dog owners. | |
