Course Description

The principles of animal naturopathy state that the body has the ability to heal itself by its vital force; disease is the resistance by this force to abnormal conditions in the body, disturbing the normal functioning of its organs and tissues and, naturopathy is a holistic modality which approaches the animal as a whole and not merely the symptoms of the complaint. Unlike traditional systems of medicine, naturopathy supports the philosophy of preventive health and natural care as found in the laws of nature.

This course will educate you in the philosophy of naturopathy, basic anatomy and physiology, the natural laws of health, carnivore nutrition, the adverse effects of vaccinations and a basic introduction to some natural healing modalities and chemical alternatives. The goal of this course will be for the student to gain a working understanding of how to support a healthy lifestyle for dogs and cats that effectively combine the properties of physical function, immunity and mental wellness. Coursework will include the use of books, articles, audios and webinars.

Course modules include:
Philosophy of Animal Naturopathy
Carnivore Nutrition
Better Understanding of Vaccines
A Naturopathic Approach to Pests & Parasites
Introduction to Natural Healing Modalities
Animal Naturopathy Consulting/Natural Animal Health Coaching
