by Dr. Rona Sherebrin, DVM, CVA

As people across North America are returning to more natural methods of improving their health, they are seeking the same for the companion animals that share their lives. Today Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) is growing in acceptance and practice in veterinary clinics around the world. In China, it has been used in veterinary practice for over 3,000 years to treat many ailments. The Chinese regularly practised acupuncture on horses, as evidenced by Dr. Bo Le’s canon of veterinary acupuncture Bo Le Zhen Jing, written between 659 BCE and 621 BCE. Later it was gradually tried on other farm animals and finally dogs, cats, and birds.

Pet owners and children may also be exposed to pesticides when they handle their pets.

I recently ran into a dog owner who had doused her terrier in chemical anti-flea medicine. Unfortunately, according to Deborah Straw, author of Why is Cancer Killing Our Pets?, some commercial flea products can be quite toxic, or even carcinogenic for dogs and cats. After reading an article in the Globe and Mail about the latest Toronto infestation of bed bugs and how difficult it was to get rid of them with expensive and toxic chemical pest control, followed shortly after by another article on Toronto’s termite infestation, I felt I had write about a natural solution.
