EARLY WARNING SIGNS OF UNDERLYING INTERNAL IMBALANCE OFTEN DEEMED NORMAL IN DOGS, CATS & HORSES

You want your companions to live a long and vital life, right?  Often we wait until full blown disease appears. There is another way! Members at the Holistic Actions! Pet Health Academy are supported to look for early clues of health and begin building health from day one. You can start now using this easy and reliable way to know if there is less than full health, even on the energetic level. Over the years veterinary homeopaths have observed that many symptoms accepted as normal are actually early warning signs of ill health.

Current pets – young or old – need to be evaluated on a regular basis by checking through this list. If super healthy, every few months or more. If ailing in any way – daily to weekly. If you have to constantly be treating in order to not have these symptoms not present, or to ease actual ill symptoms, your health creating job is not yet done. If you have to give a special diet, feed at certain times, heat the food, freeze the food, feed pumpkin (or anything else) to prevent constipation or other digestive disorders, give a supplement to prevent limping, etc., then you need to change something in your pets’ lives to improve health, probably on an energetic level.

Most health issues are rarely acute diseases (except injuries). If your companion has health issues, you may find that the problem does not clear up as you expect or it recurs. If so, you are dealing with an underlying predisposition to illness, and these clues to underlying ill health will help you select a remedy and monitor the results. Continue exploring new treatments and life style changes until most of the following symptoms are gone.

New pets – young or old – need to be evaluated by you for all of these symptoms. Please record any that are noted. The Healthy Animal Journal makes it easy. This is only the beginning of a list – as more animals are cured we will find new levels of health. Remember, these are not symptoms of actual illness, they are clues that the underlying energy field is out of balance.
