Osteopathy

Our osteopath takes the animal into account as a whole (holistic approach). The practice of osteopaths consists of gentle manual treatments to prevent or treat functional disorders (mobility restrictions) in your companion. Jack our osteopath has precise knowledge of anatomy and links mobility problems and dysfunction of certain organs. We can distinguish three different osteopathic techniques: Structural: focused on bones, joints and muscles. The manipulations are massages and mobilizations of joints. Visceral: acting on the organs of the thorax and abdomen. The treatment restores the mobility of painful or sensitive organs. Cranial: concerning the skull and its structures. The professional analyzes the primary respiratory movement (MRP), palpable between the different cranial bones.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy: a natural solution for domestic animals Homeopathy consists of treating animals with a remedy containing the substance causing the disease (principle of similarity) but in infinitesimal dilution. These can be extracts from plants (such as arnica), minerals (silicea for example), or animals (cuttlefish, toad, etc.). Homeopathic remedies are most often offered to dogs and cats on an individual and personalized basis. 1. Indications During the consultation, we observe your animal's symptoms; The circumstances of the appearance of the disorders, the character of the animal, its lifestyle and its habits. It is on this basis that we establish a prescription for treatment. The pathologies that can be treated are: Digestive disorders, Allergies, Skin problems, Travel sickness, Certain rheumatisms, Anxiety and behavioral disorders. 2. Administration of treatment The treatment can be in two forms, granules or liquid form. The granules can be ingested directly, mixed with food and if some are very recalcitrant they can be mixed with water. As for liquids, they can be given in a drink or put directly into the mouth (diluted or not).

Aromatherapy

Veterinary aromatherapy is a form of alternative care for animals based on the use of essential oils.

It can be used by owners wishing to turn to natural animal health. Essential oils are plant extracts concentrated by distillation or cold pressing.

They have multiple therapeutic properties and can constitute a natural treatment for animals.


However, essential oils can be toxic to animals if ingested or used improperly. It is therefore important to consult us to ensure that essential oils are used safely in the context of alternative medicine for animals.


Here are some tips for using aromatherapy on animals:

    Never use essential oils on animals less than 3 months old or on pregnant or lactating females. Never use essential oils intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously. Likewise, they should never be applied to the eyes, ears or on the mucous membranes. Always use a small quantity of essential oils because they are very concentrated. In addition, animals generally have a lower body mass than humans and are particularly sensitive to odors. They are therefore much more sensitive to essential oils.

Never apply pure essential oils to the coat.
