"Living With Your Pet" Tips: Five Ways To Help Your Pet Live A Long And Vibrant Life!

We found lots of useful information in this article from Dr. Karen Becker, one of our favorite holistic veterinarians, where she explains her "Top 5 Ways to Raise a Long-Lived Pet". What we like best about Dr. Becker's advice is not necessarily the substance of her advice (although we tend to agree with that, too!), but that she takes the time to thoroughly explain the reasoning behind her ideas, so that you can make an informed decision about how to proceed with your beloved pet. And this article is no exception.

From feeding a "species appropriate diet" to minimizing vaccinations by working out a protocol with your vet based on the latest American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) vacination guidlines, and perhaps incorporating some alternative, "routine maintenance" for your pets' body, like massage, stretching and even acupuncture,  Dr. Becker 's detailed advice helps laypeople like Parental Unit make better decisions on behalf of her furkids-to not just live long, but live vibrantly. Isn't that what we all want for both our pets and ourselves?
