You will find a huge range of articles on pet health and happiness here at www.healthipet.com. We believe we have something to interest every pet owner. However, we are not veterinarians and nothing on this site is intended to treat or cure disease. It’s here for your browsing pleasure.
Nobody should rely on the internet for health advice for pets - just like us, if animals are sick they need a physical examination. So always check with your veterinarian if your pet has problems and before beginning any treatments or pet medication. Please see our terms for further information.

Hi Rosie,
Great blog! I love how informative it is and how often it is updated with new info. What a great resource for all those pet owners out there with health questions.
I wanted to write to you because I thought you might be interested in hearing about some of the holistic ways that Vets are treating canine arthritis. Time magazine recently published an article on the shift towards alternative pet care that featured an all natural stem cell therapy that is helping dogs walk again. For some dogs, it saves their lives.
The therapy is simple. Vets takes two tablespoons of fat from the pup’s belly and ship it to Vet-Stem in California where they remove the adult stem cells and ship it back to the Vet within 48 hours. They then inject the animals own regenerative stem cells into the injured spots. Essentially, the dog is healing himself. Nothing more natural than that!
I thought your readers might be interested to hear about this, since so many dogs suffer from arthritis and orthopedic injuries. If you’d like more information feel free to email me.
Thanks,
Callan

Thank you Callan, that sure does sound interesting. Pets often seem to respond better to holistic treatments than we do ourselves. Maybe homeostasis (the body’s own healing mechanism) works better in them because they are closer to nature. Sounds like this treatment makes great use of this process.
