Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine based on the principle that highly diluted substances can relieve symptoms similar to those they would cause in undiluted form. A veterinary homeopath takes a thorough case history covering physical signs, behaviour, and temperament before selecting an individually tailored remedy in the form of granules, drops, or tablets. In dogs and cats it is commonly used alongside conventional care for chronic conditions, skin problems, allergies, and behavioural issues. Owners should expect a detailed initial consultation and gradual monitoring of the animal's response over the weeks following the start of treatment. Scientific evidence for the effectiveness of veterinary homeopathy is currently limited.
