We love our furry friends dearly, but do we always do what?s best for them? And as someone who believes in energy work, do you use holistic principles in caring for your pets?
There are, of course, traditional standards of care for your pets that should be part of an integrated approach to your pet?s health, such as:
- Make your home a safe environment?keep pesticides, antifreeze, medicines, cleaning products out of reach; get rid of house plants that pose a serious danger (dieffenbachia, philodendron, hyacinth, and mistletoe), as well as outdoor shrubs/flowers like oleanders, tulips, lilies, and rhododendrons; be aware of low electrical cords if your pet is likely to chew them; and watch for small objects that can cause choking.
- Yearly check-ups by a good vet for preventative vaccinations, dental care, and early detection of problems.
- Get enough exercise?fat dogs and cats are not healthy. Get off the couch and play with your indoor cat. Exercise with your dog, good for both of you. (There are even dance classes for dogs!)
- Avoid feeding toxic foods to your pets, such as chocolate, grapes, avocados, and Macadamia nuts; anything moldy or rancid; food that comes from cans with plastic linings.
Diet is one of the factors that has changed the most in the last 50 years, during which time the health of dogs has declined, a lot. Dogs will eat whatever is available, and their digestive system can deal with anything from rotting meat to earthworms. They can even be vegetarian, unlike cats, who are true carnivores. In the past, dogs were fed table scraps (and the food itself was healthier back before GMOs, heavy pesticide use, and depleted soils). Commercial pet food comes from the cheapest sources, with little nutrition, and is loaded with pesticides. Just like us humans, pets need good food to stay healthy. If you can?t make your pet?s food yourself from high-quality human food, be sure you?re using one of the better commercial brands.
How about using color therapy to treat a sick pet? It really works, and doesn?t have to involve expensive equipment. You can put water in colored glass jars and place them in the sun. For a dog with arthritis, for example, you would use a red glass container and, after it has sat in the sun, apply it as a spray or wash to your dog. Or you could have Fido lie on a red towel.
There?s a vet in Ohio who has treated over a hundred dogs with color for skin, digestive, emotional, and respiratory problems, with great success! She says that ?when cooling blues are applied to hot spots or other inflamed skin conditions, there is an instant calming and skin color change from red and irritated to more normal, which starts the healing process.?
Or how about massage, acupuncture and/or chiropractic for your pets? I admit to using all three for my horse, Influence. And just like humans respond to kinesiology (muscle testing) as a way to determine what is happening in the body, so do pets. Then gentle massage that you do yourself can correct imbalances and speed healing. It?s a great support therapy that can be used in conjunction with veterinary care.
You can also take the principles of energy healing that you have learned from the Deborah King Center and use them for your pets to help keep their energy in balance and to feel better physically and emotionally. Even simply holding your pet and placing your on your pet and focusing your loving attention towards them will help to restore their energetic balance.
But most of all, love your pet and enjoy their unconditional love of you!
