Most people think a dog is old at 10, a cat at 15 and a horse at 18, but my dogs live to mid teens, my cats into their twenties, and my horses into their thirties. Why is that? Because I do what I suggest to all my clients, feed organic food and give holistic care as much as possible. People often call about an older animal that is failing wanting to know if it is time to put the animal down. More often than not, the animal tells me that he or she would like to stay alive if feeling better. At that point I ask what the people what they are feeding and how they care for the animal, and then I tell them about how I helped some of my older rescues and what I did. The consult typically includes articles from holistic vets about food recommendations and holistic remedies. For example, here is a holistic vet article about caring for a cat with kidney disease, which is a common problem in older cats. The ultimate in feeding is to give organic, fresh food, which I get for dogs and cats at farmers markets and groceries that carry organic products. For horses one can get organic feeds but it is tough to find organic hay. The ultimate in holistic care practices is to follow the holistic vet recommendations to avoid chemicals and pharmaceuticals when possible and use alternative remedies and techniques. For example, Dr DePaolo a holistic equine vet in Texas, is the king of using colloidal silver to treat EPM in horses. It is way cheaper, less invasive, and it works! Have an older animal you want help with? Call me for a session.
