I am a holistic veterinarian. My goal for my dogs is that they live very long, vigorous lives without experiencing chronic disease of any kind, the degenerative conditions commonly associated with aging, or cancer. I have learned that, regardless of genetic predisposition, the day-to-day management decisions I make are by far the strongest influence on their health. 

I have established this web site to share with you what I have learned and to facilitate your explorations in the realm of natural health care. Rather than duplicate the fine work of others, I will provide you with information you may not find elsewhere and tell you where you can learn more. 

There is a strong bias toward dogs at this site. This merely reflects my family composition and personal interests. However, the basic principles of nutrition and holistic health care presented here apply equally to other species, including cats, ferrets, horses, and humans.

Please realize that I cannot provide medical advice for animals that are ill via the internet. If you want to consult with a holistic veterinarian, please read the article at this site "Selecting a Holistic Veterinarian." 

Browse this site, explore the links, read one or more of the recommended books, and enjoy living with truly healthy dogs and cats.
