Holistic Medicine: Not Just For Humans Anymore

In te last few years, all around the world, especially here in the United States, people have gone through a change in the way that they feed and take care of themselves. In recent years, it is obvious that Americans are living healthier than they used to: a decline in fast food sales, coupled with a steady increase in gym membership and organic food sales shows this. It seems that instead of complaining about seeing a new McDonalds or Burger King opening on every corner, I tend to see more openings of Sprouts Farmers Markets, GNC, or Whole Foods. People care about what they put into their bodies now, just ask anyone, they are liking the resuts. These natural foods and supplements are haveing dramatiic effects on the health of the people who take them, and with people making the effort to keep their family eating healthy, the next logical step is obviously our favorite four legged friends: the family pet.

It makes perfect sense when you think about it: you enjoy the health benefits from organic foods, health supplements, and exercise; why wouldn't your dog? Our animals are much smarter than you think, and although they may not be able to send you a text message asking you to feed them something to help them feel better, our animals do know what they like, want, and they know what makes them feel good. If you can add a holistic supplement to your dogs food to boost protein, energy, or immune system, you WILL see results, just as you do when you take them yourself.

Dog food supplements are simple. You buy them at the pet store, then you go home, and when it comes to feeding time for your pet, you can just add the recomended serving size to the top of Spot's favorite chow. Within hours you will be able to tell the difference, and see that your animal is simply "feeling good". Whether you need to add energy, fight off sickness, or simply to cut the pounds off of a chubby dog, adding a natural supplement will make sure that your pet is recieving all of the nutrition that it should be getting; as many dog foods skip out on the more expensive ingredients to cut costs, adding a supplement to even the store brand chow will give your animal the vitamins and minerals that it is being deprived from its processed canned or dry food.

It is easy to take care of yourself, but when it comes to our animals, many of us are clueless since they cannot speak for themselves. If your dog could head to the local pet store and buy it for himself, im sure he would.
