Use the Holistic Approach to Animal Care and Manage Your Dog's Stress Levels More Effectively

We are our pet's human companion, leader and caretaker. All those roles require us to do the best we know how for the happiness, good health and general well being of our dog companions. We love them like our kids and grandchildren and as such we also treat them with the same kind of daily care.

Above:  The Alaskan Malamute, a large breed of domestic dog originally bred for hauling heavy freight due to their strength and endurance and later they were sled dogs. They are similar to other arctic breeds like the Greenland Dog, the Canadian Eskimo Dog, the Siberian Husky and the Samoyed.

Managing our dog's stress levels is one of the major keys to their wellness. Just think about this for a moment. Stress is documented for humans as being "a killer." It is the same for our companion animals. Their stress levels need to be monitored and reduced just the same as ours as it is one of the major components of wellness. It is my opinion a holistic approach gives you the best tools to ensure your pet stays as happy as possible.

Above: The English Coonhound, also referred to as the American English Coonhound (by the American Kennel Club only) or the Redtick Coonhound, is a breed of coonhound that originated and is typically bred in the Southern United States. It is descended from hunting hounds brought to America by settlers during the 17th and 18th centuries, resulting in the dogs known as the "Virginia Hounds".

The animal holistic approach to health and healing respects the best that natural health care and mainstream medicine has to offer PLUS goes beyond the limitations of both. Change your own thinking to the holistic approach to animal care and go beyond fixing immediate problems to the fresh and comprehensive views on prevention. The goal is better health and longer life, two major goals best accomplished through a holistic approach to animal care.

Above: Bichon is the name for a type of related dog breeds in the non-sporting category. They vary in appearance, but all have tails curled over their back, hair that doesn't readily shed, has a short snout, drop ears, and large, dark eyes. They were all bred to be amiable companion dogs and have a friendly, alert temperament. Their life expectancy is 15 years or more. The Bichon Frise, a type of bichon, is sometimes simply called a Bichon.

The holistic approach to animal care involves you and your holistic vet as partners in the care of your companion animals. Your role involves:

• person closest to the dog and in best position to influence the dog's well being
• as the dog's closest companion you have the primary responsibility for making decisions that affect the dog's quality of life 

The role of your holistic vet involves:

• being your coach providing expert opinions, perspectives and advice about how to support your pet's wellness
• the holistic vet may point you toward further resources and/or other types of health care professionals

Natural health care has steadily gained popularity since the 1970's. It is today accepted as effective, safe, life sustaining and life prolonging for both humans and pets. The natural approaches are collectively referred to as being "holistic."

The word holistic means the treatment of the whole person or animal taking into account mental and social factors rather than just the physical symptoms of disease. This gets us to the topic of this article in that the holistic approach to animal care also takes into consideration "management of animal stress" as one major key to overall wellness and longevity.

The new holistic way moves toward achieving the following goals:

• supporting the health of the living
• freeing up blocked energy
• considers the whole individual or animal
• looks for hidden stress factors that may be causing problems

A healthy immune system is vital to a healthy animal. Holistic care concentrates on stimulating the body's own ability to heal.

How do we accomplish these goals?

With the holistic vet as your coach start out feeding your new puppy with a high quality holistic diet including supplements appropriate for your dog. Dog kibble alone never provides all the vitamins and nutrients a growing dog needs.

This is why we have supplements to supplement the daily diet of kibble. The supplements add the vitamins and nutrients that are missing in the kibble. No dog food formulator can include every vitamin, mineral and nutrient your dog's needs in a single kibble.

Life's Abundance provides  a "system" of dry kibble plus a wellness supplement that offers our companion animals superior nutrition leading to healthier and longer lives. When the immune system is strengthened, the dog's stress levels will also be strengthened. They will be able to sustain those things in their life that stresses them out far better without coming down with debilitating and life shortening diseases.

Stress is a disease producer that can be alleviated through proper diet, daily exercise and appropriate mental stimulation which involves the love you show your dog on a daily basis as well as providing the dog with appropriate stimulation toys and games.

Learn all your can about your particular dog breed and provide them with the appropriate daily grooming, proper diet, exercise and playtime routines and you automatically reduce their stress levels, which will help them to stay healthy, happy and live longer.

Better pet care results when:

• pet lovers and holistic veterinarians understand that stress is the underlying cause of every form of health problem a companion animal can have

Manage stress in your companion animal and you are well on your way to healthier pets who will live longer lives. And I say this keeping in mind, that is, dependent upon whether or not your particular pet is free of congenital problems that would limit their life and everyday good health.

About the Wellness Food Supplement:

Supplementing your dog’s diet can play a crucial role in maintaining overall health. We know that some dogs require additional nutritional intake to help them maintain a healthy body, due to age, breed, environment and other factors. Based on this premise, our holistic veterinarian has formulated the perfect complement to your dog’s daily diet. Life’s Abundance Wellness Food Supplement for Dogs is formulated with a broad array of naturally nutritious ingredients from real food to help maintain overall health. The nutrients contained in this superior supplement are sourced from foods, chicken liver, cranberries, carrots, eggs, pineapples and many others.

The more we learn about the way bodies function, the more amazing they seem to us. There is a growing amount of anecdotal evidence that suggests a mammal’s body has a highly complex, natural intelligence. As a holistic veterinarian, I review such evidence, interpreting it within the context of established scientific knowledge. Based upon these observations, it seems that a dog’s body “prefers” nutrients as they exist in real foods, in their more natural state. On a cellular level, their bodies are familiar with the nutrient components and therefore the body knows to absorb and assimilate exactly what it needs. That is why I believe that small amounts of nutrients in real foods can have a profound affect on a dog’s body. In light of this information, I formulated a new approach to add to the overall nutrient intake, creating Life’s Abundance Wellness Food Supplement for Dogs.”
