Alternative non prescription pet medication

Alternative Pet Medications and non-prescription pet medicines have not been tested or licensed by pharmaceutical companies.  Many alternative pet medications have been around for hundreds if not thousands of years.  Their efficacy has withstood the test of time and many people are turning to alternative pet therapies as an adjunct to conventional medicine.

Alternative pet medications can be as simple as an ancient herbal remedy to the use of homeopathic medicine.  Many people confuse homeopathic medicine with holistic medicine.  Homeopathic medicine, developed in the 18th century, treats diseases using medicines, which are capable of producing disease in a healthy animal. The drug being administered contains the disease causing agent in small amounts. Holistic medicine, is a system of medicinal practice that takes into consideration the animals innate ability to heal itself using alternative medications.  It uses environmental, nutritional, excercise and social influences to assist the patient in curing itself. Always, seek a diagnosis, and treatment advice from your veterinarian before instituting any non-conventional therapy involving alternative pet medications.
