Veterinary Herbal Medicine

Veterinary Herbal Medicine  is the study of plant-medicines and their therapeutic application in animal healthcare. The application of herbal medicines in human and animal healthcare has a long and colourful history that can be traced back millennia. In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in herbal medicine from around the world. Traditional herbal knowledge is now being confirmed and updated by research, scientific insights and clinical experience. Applied appropriately, herbal medicine has proven to be a very effective modality to relieve the suffering of animals. We believe that Veterinary Herbal Medicine  will develop into a significant part of mainstream integrated veterinary medicine.

. Provide patients with effective, evidence-based, complementary treatments

. Confidently advise clients on the appropriate use of herbal medicines

Natural nutrition for Cats/Dogs and Horses

1-day workshops with Nick Thompson MRCVS

A practical scientific approach

When you go to your doctor, you are told to eat 5 pieces of fruit and vegetables per day; to avoid saturated fats, processed foods and too much meat.  The government is at pains to improve the health of the nation through good nutrition.

When you go to your Vet you are given processed foods for your animal.

Discussions will look at what Dogs/Cats and Horses were designed to eat and why.

We will look at an ideal natural diet and how to make it practical, economic and enjoyable for you to make and your animal to eat.

See "Courses for Animal Owners" above for more information and dates of next workshops.
