The Whole Dog is your premier resource for natural dog care. Bringing true natural/holistic dog care concepts together for you in one place.

Dr. Jeannie Thomason is a certified, veterinary naturopath has been educating dog owners and providing naturopathic ( holistic, natural) animal care since 2003 via her consultations, articles, webinars and the website that also offers tested and proven, recommended natural products.

Do you want to provide the best life possible for your dog? Then, The Whole Dog will show you how!

As a veterinary naturopath, Dr. Jeannie's focus is on putting the dog's needs first by taking a "wholistic" or naturopathic approach and honoring him as the species he is - a dog - which is by far the best gift you can give him.

Natural/Holistic Dog Care

For those who have only ever known conventional dog care methods, the natural approach may at first seem to go against almost everything you know. This is because conventional methods tend to have been developed from the human perspective and based on the dog being an omnivore like a human.

The holistic or naturopathic approach looks at and works with "the whole dog", in a natural way that ignites the body's internal healing force and stimulates its natural abilities to heal itself. Elimination of the symptoms is what conventional medicine is based on however, just eliminating the symptom is NOT the same as elimination of the cause or dis-ease that produced that symptom or symptoms in the first place.

While Dr. Jeannie's passion is to assist you in preventing health problems in your dogs, Most of her clients have been owners of dogs, cats and parrots who have not improved with conventional veterinary treatments at their regular veterinarian.

Dr. Jeannie states: "Most of my clients will have a local or regular veterinarian for conventional surgery and emergency services, while they will consult with me for chronic or ongoing problems where the ongoing conventional drugs have not been working, for example demodectic mange, yeast infections,skin allergies, ear infections, intestinal upsets, pancreatitis, kidney disease, idiopathic seizures, etc. "

Naturopathy is not a single modality of healing, but lifestyle that incorporates nature's array of healing modalities, including nutrition; therapeutic exercise, aromatherapy, herbal medicine, homeopathy; hydrotherapy or other natural modalities.

Dr. Thomason is a naturopathic animal doctor, and has earned her V.N.D. (Veterinary Naturopahtic Doctor) degree. If you would like to set up a consultation with her for a wellness and lifestyle assessment of your dog, please be sure to visit her consultation page for more information.
