Holistic Pet Care Tips

August 15 2022

Did you know that August 30th is Holistic Pet Day? Just like people, pets can really benefit from living a natural, healthy lifestyle. Of course, holistic living looks a bit different for Fido and Fluffy than it does for us. A Tarzana, CA vet lists some things you can do to incorporate a holistic approach into your pet care regimen below.


Diet

Proper nutrition is the foundation to your furry pal’s care regimen. Look for brands that use organic, sustainable ingredients, with limited amounts of fillers and preservatives. It’s also important to choose a food that is right for your pet’s age, size, and health. Ask your vet for recommendations.


Products

These days, there are chemicals in almost any product you could buy. This is also true of pet products. Limiting your fuzzy friend’s exposure to harmful substances is a great way to incorporate holistic practices into your home life. Look for natural, eco-friendly products. This may mean swapping out Fido’s plastic bowls for bamboo ones, or picking a dog toy that is made from cotton rather than nylon.


Clean Water

Water quality is very important for both people and pets. If your tap or well water isn’t great, install a filter or get a dispenser. Your furry best friend may also appreciate a fountain.


Relaxation

Fido and Fluffy may not be the best yoga partners, but they definitely are great for our souls! Holistic care incorporates mental and emotional health as well as physical health. Help your pet live their best life by offering plenty of safe toys, as well as comfy beds. 


Air Quality

You may be amazed at the difference good air can make. Consider getting an air purifier. This will benefit both you and your pet!


Massage

Massages are often thought of as a luxury, but they actually offer some wonderful health benefits. They can help get out knots and kinks, which in turn improves circulation. Book your pet a session with a pet masseuse, or just give them a gentle rubdown.


Veterinary Care

One of the best things about holistic pet care is its versatility. You don’t have to choose between it and traditional veterinary care: they actually work very well together. This is really the best of both worlds!
