List of Natural & Alternative Health Resources For Dogs & Cats
There is a lot of information on pet health and nutrition on the internet, but not all of it can be trusted. We have done the research and these are some of the very best alternative, natural pet health resources out there.

Animal Natural Health Center was founded by Richard Pitcairn, DVM, in 1986 as a clinical and teaching center in Eugene, Oregon for the understanding and use of homeopathic medicine in the treatment of disease.

Dr. Lucretia Greear

“Being able to work in an environment where the emphasis is on the patient rather than the bottom line is a breath of fresh air,” says Dr. Greear. “We are able to focus on the animal as a whole and provide alternative treatment options should conventional therapies fail to be an option. We also find that a combination of conventional and alternative therapies often works best for chronic illnesses and cancer patients. We love being able to help animals that have been unable to find relief through other standard treatments.”

Dr. Elizabeth M. Hodgkins

Because improper diet is the cause of type II diabetes mellitus in the cat, diet must be the foundation of the management of this disease. Although the veterinary profession has been conditioned to believe that high-fiber dry diets are capable of assisting in the management of feline diabetes, the reality is that this disease has historically been extremely difficult to deal with because of this mistaken belief.
