Conventional Medicine or Homeopathy for Dogs – What Helps?

The fact is: Everyone wants the best for their animal. But nothing divides the camps as much as the discussion about conventional medicine or homeopathy for dogs. Here you can read why it makes sense to combine the treatment methods instead of against each other.

The advocates of homeopathy sometimes use the argument that conventional medical treatments can also do a lot rather than cure. Advocates of conventional medicine doubt the mode of action of homeopathy itself.

As in human medicine, there are numerous examples of success and failure for all treatment methods – so that a veritable personality cult even develops around gurus. Both approaches have their justification if these treatments are carried out by experts.

Same Works

Homeopathy works on the principle of treating like with like. Put simply, this means, for example: That if you are allergic to a plant, highly diluted substances from the same plant are used for treatment. The desired goal is a cure. In animals, homeopathy is used when physical and psychological impairments are to be improved.

In constitutional treatments, individual characteristics determine the remedy. In the treatment of symptoms, standardized remedies are used in most low to medium potencies, such as Nux Vomica, Aurum, Lachesis, and Apis for aggression problems, Stramonium for anxiety issues. Whole medical history counts! Acute diseases are easier to treat than chronic ones. The latter often require different means but in any case a comprehensive exchange between the animal owner and the treating person. Triggering emotions play a major role

Conventional medicine draws on a huge wealth of knowledge. Never has more research been invested in the pet we are so connected to than in the last few decades. Comprehensive documentation of the current forms of treatment in conventional medicine forms a broad knowledge base. There are allergies and resistance to drugs. Critics accuse conventional medicine of a lack of individuality in the forms of treatment or that “cannons are used to crack sparrows”. It is often not started with the lowest possible dosage of medication
