The employment and acceptance of homeopathy in veterinary medicine has actually duplicated that of physicians. Homeopathy for dogs is an innocuous and efficient option to conventional veterinary medicine. The use of herbs is easy to understand, but the method by which these dosages are said to work can be more difficult to comprehend, and in fact, much of the evidence is incomplete, however, to a greater extent the proof of usefulness is easily accessible.

Homeopathy for dogs is different from orthodox medicine in various manners. The practitioner takes into account the whole picture and a prescribed medicine is not established on a diagnosis. Rather the prescription will be supported on the particulars of the case.

As an example: a dog may show signs of anorexic (loss of appetite) without being thirsty and could have an irritable personality as well as diarrhea. In another scenario, a second dog may not have an appetite,may be very thirsty, appear listless and experience episodes of vomiting. A conventional veterinarian would probably treat both dogs much the same way, but a homeopathic doctor, based on the two different scenario’s demonstrated, the homeopath would prescribe two different remedies.

Homeopathy for dogs may be used to treat personality disorders such as travel anxiety, aggressive behavior, fear, and separation anxiety. While conventional medicine only suppresses the behavior, which returns when the drugs are stopped, a homeopathic remedy can achieve a cure.

Having experienced this with his own dog, one veterinarian treated his dog with homeopathic medicine because of the animal’s fear of thunderstorms, and was over the moon when it was cured. Acupuncture and acupressure are also used to raise the body’s personal healing energies to offer alleviation of pain and rejuvenate the dog to balanced health.

Giving your pet really good nutrition is a great help in this procedure, and the goal of homeopathy for dogs is a more gradual, milder form of therapy, attaining the highest level of health for the canine companion. Never treat your dog without first consulting a veterinarian qualified in homeopathy to correctly select the appropriate remedy for your dog.

If you’ve started a remedy and not getting a response from your pet, you can then start another remedy. There is no concern of overdosing or contra-indications as with conventional medicine.

Homeopathy for dogs has helped many pets, but as with any new product, you should monitor your pet. Homeopathic remedies should never be handled directly as this may reduce their effectiveness. The remedy should be given to the dog on a clean palate, at least 15-30 minutes before or after eating or drinking.

Our dog is like Arnold Schwarzenegger. When we walk him down main street in our small town and people see him, they immediately stop whatever they are doing and exclaim quite loudly "Oh my God — look at the size of that dog!!" So what’s so special about our dog Oden, aka OD? He is a 200-pound English Mastiff. So now you are saying "Oh my God ! Why get a dog that big?" Well like most gullible parents, my son talked me into getting another dog after our chocolate Labrador retriever died. For years he wanted an English Mastiff.

Initially, I resisted since I knew this was a BIG dog (it is the heaviest breed). But being a dog lover, I wanted to first learn more about the bred before I said "yes" or "no".The English Mastiff is one of the oldest canine breeds. No one knows for sure this breed’s exact origin. Some think that the ancestors of the Mastiff came from Central-Asia. Historians believe about 500 BC Phoenician traders brought the dogs to Britain. These dogs were popular because of their size, strength, loyalty and ferocity. The Romans trained them for war and protection. After World War I and World War II, Mastiffs almost became extinct. People could not afford to keep such a large dog. To save the bred, Mastiffs were crossbred with a number of other types of dogs. The Mastiff today is gentle but still protective.

After scouring the Internet for Mastiff information and talking to Mastiff owners and breeders, I said "yes" to my son. We bought a cute little 12 lb male puppy from a reputable Mastiff breeder and called him Oden. Like the fairytale beanstalk, OD grew and grew and grew! At a year old he weighed 160 pounds.Now at 17 months, Oden has almost reached full maturity. He is as tall as our dinner table, has muscles a body builder would admire, and feet the size of my hands. To go along with his big body is a massive broad head. Though his looks are intimidating, he greets most people with a wagging tail and kind eyes. When people see Oden they stop and ask us these questions:
