Veterinarian Gerald Buchoff, DVM will speak on holistic pet care at the Mon, March 22nd meeting at 7PM at the Rockaway Township Library, 61 Mount Hope Road, Rockaway, NJ. [masked]. After his presentation, there will be time for questions and answers. Refreshments will be served. Dr. Buchoff's website is http://holisticpetcarenj.com/. "Holistic (or "integrative") veterinary medicine differs from "conventional" veterinary medicine in that it takes a more natural and common sense approach to your pet's healthcare. Through proper nutrition, regular daily care, avoidance of toxins, and minimization of emotional stress, the body's own immune system becomes strengthened, enabling the body to heal itself and to ward off possible disease. Holistic medicine avoids the overuse or often misuse of many drugs, antibiotics, steroids, artificial chemicals, vaccinations, and other treatments. Instead it treats mostly with proper diet, natural whole-food and herbal dietary supplements, homeopathic treatments, and alternative "ages-old" treatments.
