Things We Are Leaving Behind in 2023 – Veterinary Edition! 🙌🏻 The word ‘Holistic’ to mean ‘Alternative’ Holistic doesn’t mean alternative, it means whole and ALL veterinary professionals are holistic but it is often used in a such a way to imply we are not. For example, when we see an arthritic dog, in addition to giving the pain relief they need, your vet team will also discuss things like their weight, diet, the type of exercise they do, supplements and complementary therapies such as physio or hydro. The same approach is taken for allergies (diet, supplements, home care and parasite control are all vital in addition to medicine), diabetes, tummy upsets; for all conditions and for every pet. We are a ‘holistic’ profession 🙌🏻 Negative Marketing in Pet Food Adverts We have all seen them; ‘this food doesn’t contain fillers’, ‘no nasties’, ‘more than 4% meat’ 🤦🏼♀️ or claiming that other pet foods make animals sick. If the only way a company can persuade you to feed their product is by attempting to scare you away from others, that isn’t something I would be advising you offer your pets. These kind of adverts creates fear and confusion and mistrust around pet foods and are damaging the entire market. Call it out when you see it! 🙌🏻 Supplements that make excessive claims Adverts that show a crippled dog get better and then claim it was their supplement fixed them. Or ones that say by simply giving their product, pet will be able to come off medications (this is often accompanied by awful and inaccurate statements about the safety of those treatments as well) Or the dental supplements that show a before and after of teeth that have clearly been professionally cleaned. 🤦🏼♀️ For supplements the clue is in the name; they are supplementary to medicines. They can be helpful but no reputable company would make excessive claims like these. 🙌🏻 Vet Bashing We can but hope! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Happy New Year! I wish you and your pets a happy and healthy 2024! #thingsweareleavingbehind #holisticvet #holisticveterinary #vetbashing #happy2024 #catthevet
