DESCRIPTION: After graduating from
veterinary college, Dr Barbara Fougère became increasingly frustrated
with the limited range of options that conventional medicine and surgery offered
chronically unwell dogs. Antibiotics, corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs are the mainstay of therapy for these dogs, and generally not ideal for
long-term use. Thus, she turned to veterinary herbalism, acupuncture, homeopathy,
environmental and nutritional medicine, Reiki and other alternatives to help
her patients.
Barbara acknowledges that complementary and alternative veterinary medicine
is largely not substantiated by the scientific method. But her observations
over countless cases have led her to conclude that natural therapies can, and
indeed do, help many dogs to lead healthier lives with greater well-being.
Healthy Dogs is intended to bridge the gap between conventional veterinary
medicine and some of the more widely available natural therapies for dogs. With
it, all dog lovers - whether veterinary professionals, dog breeders or simply
concerned dog owners - have access to the possibilities these alternatives offer.
