Dogs and Natural Animal Health

Natural Animal Health for Dogs

Dogs...

...there are no other animals on earth that we humans have physically altered so much!

Genetically, all breeds of dogs started off as wolves.. dogs are wolves! Humans have "created" all the different breeds of dogs that we see today by selective breeding and inbreeding. In doing so, we have caused dogs many problems - so many breeds of dogs have poor hips, other dogs have breathing problems, yet more dogs are prone to back problems, mobility disorders, skin, eye and ear disorders.

Regardless, dogs remain our best friends and we naturally want to look after them in the best way we can. More and more people are turning to natural and "alternative" therapies for their dogs.
