Most of your patients own a pet. In North America there are slightly more dogs than cats. In New Zealand and Australia the cats slightly outnumber the dogs. Like humans, our pets suffer from some diseases much more frequently than others.
The Natural Cat Health Masterclass is presented by a team of experienced natural veterinarians who will give you, the non-vet clinician, lots of valuable insights into how to keep a cat healthy and what to recommend when it is ill. Importantly, we also need to know when we need vet to step in and/or how to integrate with quality veterinary care.
The Natural Cat Health Masterclass has been designed to show you how to prescribe a healthy lifestyle and diet for your patient’s cats, recognise when they may be unwell, and how to use natural means to get them healthy if they are unwell.
See below for the full program outline.
There is a great deal you can do for your patient’s cat’s health. Although animal physiology is quite different to a human in many ways, holistic vets frequently treat their animals similar to how we approach human health. And for many vets, their natural medicines are the same as those we are using for humans.
