Natural Rearers, use alternative health care for their pets. Although the philosophy of Natural Rearing is all about preventative care there may come a time when veterinary intervention is needed. When veterinary care is needed most Natural Rearers seek out holistic vets, homeopathic vets and we use a diverse alternative approach to health care including but not limited to acupuncture, aromatherapy, herbs, homeopathy, flower remedies, therapeutic touch, reiki, massage therapy, kinesiology and many other natural, non intrusive modalities. The philosophy of Natural Rearing is to do no harm.

Natural Rearing encompasses a multi level connection with our animals, and most importantly Nature. We strive to work on many levels, mental, physical, spiritual while relying heavily on our intution. We strive to learn our dogs, not just about them on a superficial plane, but deeply involved in their overall existence. Because of this connection we believe modern health care fails to cure and only treats symptoms with harmful chemicals and intrusive approaches.

To continue your journey into Natural Rearing we would like to suggest some books and a couple of wonderful yahoo groups where you will find like minded people.

Very good information and I'll be sure to read more. I just sorta have a problem with what seems to be an opinion not to have pets spade. There are TONS of unwanted abandon stray animals and I think having a pet spade is certainly something that should be done. I've worked with resuce groups and have seen the abuse the unwanted pet population can suffer. However, it is good information to learn. Didn't know about the yahoo groups.
