Herbal Medicine For Pets
Tailored Natural Remedies for Lasting Comfort.
Herbal medicine has been used for millennia to restore balance, support organ systems and enhance overall health. At Cygnus Alternative Veterinary Care, we offer customized herbal formulas designed for your pet’s specific condition, body constitution, and unique health needs.
Unlike one-size-fits-all medications, our herbal treatments are carefully selected based on both Eastern medicine principles and Western diagnosis, ensuring a personalized, integrative approach to healing. Herbal medicine was not created for a one size fits all approach and our herbal medication choices reflect that.
Our Herbal Medicine Consultation Service Includes:
✔ A thorough consultation and exam, assessing your pet’s history, symptoms, and overall health.
✔ A customized herbal formula, tailored specifically to your pet’s individual needs.
✔ A combination of Eastern & Western approaches, blending traditional wisdom with modern veterinary knowledge.
✔ Ongoing support & adjustments, ensuring the formula continues to meet your pet’s needs over time.
Herbal medicine can benefit pets dealing with:
- Chronic conditions (kidney disease, liver issues, auto-immune conditions)
- Pain management (arthritis, back (disc) discomfort, post-surgical recovery)
- Skin & allergy issues (chronic itching, inflammation, hot spots)
- Anxiety & stress (fearful or nervous pets, emotional imbalances)
- Overall wellness & longevity (boosting immune health, supporting aging pets)
Herbal Medicine works naturally with your pet’s body to improve comfort, health, and vitality.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does herbal medicine work?
Herbs work by reducing inflammation, balancing internal systems in an Eastern medicine sense, and addressing the root cause of illness. Each formula has many different components designed to work synergistically with each other and the animal’s own body.
Can herbal medicine be used alongside other treatments?
Yes! Herbal medicine can be safely combined with most Western treatments, acupuncture, and nutritional changes to create a well-rounded care plan.
How long does it take to see results?
Some pets show improvement within weeks, while others may require a month to experience benefits. We adjust the formula as needed to ensure the best results.
Are there side effects?
Herbal medicine is gentle and well-tolerated, but we monitor your pet’s response carefully to ensure their formula is the perfect fit. Both Eastern and Western follow-up exams will determine the efficacy of the treatment selected.
How do I give herbal medicine to my pet?
Most formulas come in powder, capsules, or liquid extracts that can be mixed with food. We’ll help find the best option for your pet’s needs.
