EatTheApple & ThenSome Email: webmaster@eattheapple.com Web Site: www.thensome.com |
This site has gone to the dogs and the kitty cats. It first started to be a site about New York City but since my animals have been having problems, I started doing nonstop research to help them. I have spent hours looking through PUBMED to see what actual research abstract studies have found on difficult health conditions and on alternative supplements such as melatonin, aloe vera, propolis, bromelain, or flaxseed to name a few. Please explore the site-especially under pethealth — not just for the two legged best friends in the world and nontoxic cleaning tips — you too might wind up drinking ginger tea for colds, it’s not just for pets. |

Because you know your pet so well, you know when something is wrong. When this is a medical problem, the solution is obvious; call your vet. But sometimes what's wrong with our pets isn't so easily identifiable; odd behavior, sudden temperament shifts, aggression, changes in obedience or toileting habits, nuisance behavior like barking, etc. Quite simply, a behavioral veterinarian works with you and your pet, in conjunction with your regular vet, to identify the reason for your pet's problem behavior and create a treatment plan to address it. |
