Dogs and Homeopathy - A Pocket Guide

Dogs and people have evolved together over several millennia, to our mutual benefit, but this close relationship brings with it the responsibility to care for our animals to the best of our ability. Similarly, homeopathy for animals has developed in parallel with its use in people, using remedies which are safe, gentle and effective. Depending on the circumstances, homeopathy can be used alone or alongside conventional medicine, but in particular, its early deployment can prevent the development of significant illness, helping to keep our dogs healthy, rather than treating them when they are already ill.

In this book Peter Gregory brings together the knowledge and experience gained from 40 years of treating dogs in homeopathic veterinary practice. It is designed as a guide and reference to aid in selecting homeopathic remedies for dogs, based on their symptoms. The first chapter provides a brief understanding of homeopathy, what it is and how to use it. This is followed by a guide to appropriate remedies for a wide variety of ailments, each chapter covering a particular area of the body, and separate chapters for young and old dogs. The final two chapters cover the 'general symptoms ' and 'mental symptoms' which together mark homeopathy as a holistic form of medicine, treating each individual as a whole.

It should be of use to owners, breeders, veterinarians and anyone involved in animal welfare, as a quick and concise guide to the homeopathic treatment of dogs.
