My Holistic Vet

Hi I'm Buster, Pandora's canine companion. Just got back from my yearly physical with my holistic vet, Dr. Marty, so I'm taking a snooze. He's a great guy. I started seeing him when I was a year old. My mother takes me to him because he understands how harmful vaccinations can be for dogs and cats. When I was a puppy my mom didn't know about how bad vaccinations and dog food are but she learned really quick when I started getting allergies. First my mom took me to a fancy shmancy dermotologist/allergist in m
Manhattan but she was giving me too much medication and wanted me to be on prednisone. Thank goodness my mom's too smart for that. So then my mother asked everyone she could think of what to do. That's how we found Dr. Marty. I like his office. It's very homey and nothing ouchy happens to me there. My mom and everyone, even the other dogs and cats are so relaxed, I feel safe and at ease. I used to whine and scratch at the exam room door to be let out because I thought it was going to be like my old vet's place. But now I just lay on a little couch in the exam room with my mom while she talks and laughs with Dr. Marty. Every so often he says, "Buster man!" and holds me and checks me over but I don't mind. He's funny. Then this nice guy named Lou takes me in the back and takes some blood. He's good, doesn't even hurt, so I stay still like a good boy and everyone tells me I'm so cute and kisses me. I don't get vaccinated anymore...I get titter tested to see if I even need vaccines, which I never do. Rabbies is the only shot you legally have to get. My old vet way over-vaccinated me when I was a puppy. My mom is so mad at herself for not knowing about vaccines back then. She's also pretty mad at my old vet for convincing her that I needed all those vaccines. She says he's lucky she's a peace loving woman whatever that means. Anyway, then we went outside to play in the grass and since my mother and Dr. Marty don't believe in all those harmful preventatives (depending on where you live), she sprays this all natural stuff on me called Vantum 100% all natural flea and tic spray and sings the"there ain't no bugs on me song". It's a little embarrasing because she can't sing but I love her anyway. She and Dr. Marty have figured out how to control my allergies without medication using all natural things like something called "Spring Tonic" and another formula Dr. Marty gives her and I feel fine. I'm not itchy and I don't have to have any medicine that will compromise my immune system! If you've read earlier posts you also know that pet food isn't good for dogs. At least that's what my mom believes and I'm glad. They smell bad and taste even worse. So, lucky me, I get real food :) So that's my story. I hope it helps someone in case they ever go through what me and my mom did with allergies or some other kind of problem. Holistic vets know best how to keep us healthy without medication if at all possible. Take care and feel free to write me anytime. My mom sits with me at the computer so I can try to answer any questions you might have. Be well! Love, Buster
