I have been involved with a variety of pets all my life, dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, hamsters and birds, and I sincerely regret not having discovered the wonderful world of alternative medicine for pets many years ago. It was only when I took off the blinkers and realised that veterinary surgeons are not always right in their diagnosis and treatment that I explored further.

After almost losing my beloved burmese cat Cassie twice through firstly a case of veterinary neglect, and then a total mis-diagnosis, I was fortunate enough to have a homeopath friend who gave her some 'Magic Drops' which I have no doubt saved her life.

I then investigated further into 'alternative' medicine for pets, and consequently studied nutrition, herbal remedies, vitamin and mineral supplements, flower essences and homeopathy.

While studying, I did a project on processed pet food, and was sickened as to what I was actually feeding my pets. Since changing my pets to an all natural diet, they are in peak condition, have never been troubled by fleas or mites, and I can honestly say I have not had to take a sick pet to the vet for almost two years.
