Integrative Veterinary Medicine: How To Decide What’s Best For Your Cat or Dog
Pet Care Tips 4 min read
It’s a heavy burden we pet parents have when it comes to the health of our animal companions and the trust they place in us. So many pet parents we’ve spoken to want to know how to make their cat or dog healthier “naturally” without the common side effects of drugs. But knowing what to do, how to use supplements, and working with a veterinarian who may not be familiar with alternative methods can all be a little overwhelming. Our goal at NHV to help you ask the right questions so you can help your cat or dog achieve optimal health.
So, let’s get right into the great debate: alternative methods or conventional western therapies. NHV’s philosophy, which is articulated wonderfully by our lead holistic veterinarian, Dr. Hillary Cook, is why not use the “best of both worlds” by focusing on an integrative approach to healing.
Western medicine has given us many great advances, from accurately diagnosing illness to some seriously sophisticated surgeries like prosthetics for dogs. While holistic and natural medicines are seeing a resurgence in mainstream care due to their nourishment and ability to bring homeostasis to the whole body and their powerful healing with minimal side effects. It seems obvious that integrative veterinary medicine is the key to pet health, but how do we know which therapies to use? Ask questions!
If you are considering conventional western treatments, here are some questions to ask your veterinarian professional. We’ve also provided some integrative approaches to consider in helping with the healing of your pet.
What are the side effects of this treatment?
Knowing any potential side effects will help you understand future consequences and will also help you determine how you can support the body while your cat or dog is undergoing treatment. Conventional western drugs often treat the symptoms but can leave the body open for other complications.
For example, steroidal drugs are often used to treat certain illnesses, like cancer or nervous disorders. Common side effects of steroidal drugs may be increased urination, liver disorders, and Cushing’s disease after prolonged use. However, you and your vet may have decided that the short-term use of the drug makes the most sense for your pet. At NHV, we back your decision and recommend that pet parent give supplements to help support the body while on the drug. In this case, we might recommend NHV Milk Thistle for the liver, NHV Supraglan to support the adrenal gland, ES- Clear for natural cancer support, and PetOmega-3 for general health.
How long will recovery take?
Knowing how long recovery will take will help make the right decision for your pet.
Knowing how long recovery will take will help make the right decision for your pet. For example, if treatment is surgery, and recovery will be a difficult 6 months, and your animal companion is 18 years old, you may want to concentrate on the quality of life now and use supplements to support that life. You may also want to support surgical recovery with natural discomfort aids like NHV Yucca, a great appetite stimulant.
What is the quality of life my cat or dog will have once the treatment is complete?
This is a big one. It’s hard to get rid of the symptom or the thing that is causing discomfort. Have a frank discussion with your veterinarian. Be honest about the quality of life. You may decide to forgo a particularly risky treatment and support your pet with supplements only, or vice versa.
How much will this cost?
Sometimes, we want to say that we’ll spend whatever it takes to keep our companions with us. But, even for those with the best intentions, unexpected costs can add to the stress. Get a quote. You won’t be judged for it, and you will be thankful you did.
What if my vet isn’t familiar with alternative medicine?
If your vet is unfamiliar with alternative therapies, we suggest you either contact our lead holistic vet, Dr. Cook, for a consultation, or you contact the AVHMA (American Veterinary Holistic Medical Association) to find a holistic veterinarian near you. Some vets will be open to alternative therapies. We’ve encountered some conventional veterinarians, who have never used alternative therapies, and whose patients have used NHV products. We usually get a call from these vets, and they are surprised by the positive results they are seeing in their patients from NHV products. They tell us how now they’re exploring alternative therapies after having been inspired by their patients. The moral of the story: have an open dialogue with your veterinarian professional.
What about using supplements only?
You may decide that using supplements only makes the most sense for your pet. At NHV Natural Pet Products, we’ve had many success stories by regular pet owners, veterinarians, and even teaching veterinary facilities like the University of Tennessee. Talk to your vet, watch your pet to see how they’re doing. You will know if the supplements are working for your individual cat or dog. Oh – And don’t forget to contact us, your NHV Pet Experts, if you have any questions.
What other alternative therapies are there?
Other popular alternative therapies for pets include acupuncture, aromatherapy, chiropractic care, nutritional therapy, osteopathy, and laser therapy. For a definition of these and other holistic therapies, you can see the AVHMA Holistic Veterinary Therapies page.
For those of you, who may be unfamiliar with what integrative medicine is, take a look at Dr. Cook’s video below.

Discomfort and Appetite Support for Cats
Yucca is used in cat food as well as food for other animals around the world. Its root is a highly nutritious herb that’s rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus.
How Yucca Supports Cats
Yucca contains two very beneficial compounds: sarsasapogenin and smilagenin. These two compounds work on the mucous membranes of the small intestine. These compounds help with the penetration and absorption of minerals and vitamins. Sarsasapogenin and smilagenin are known as steroidal saponins (phytosterols) which act as precursors to corticosteroids produced naturally by the body.
Steroidal saponins support the immune function of the body while stimulating and supporting the production of its own corticosteroids and corticosteroid–related hormones. Due to this action, studies conducted on Yucca have shown that it may be beneficial and effective for discomfort relief and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Yucca for cats may also be a natural appetite stimulant and may also help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some cats.

Daily Nutritional Support for Pets
Without vitamins and minerals, your furkiddo may develop nutritional deficiencies that disrupt normal body functioning and can lead to chronic injury or illness. You may be wondering why your pet would benefit from daily dog vitamins or natural cat vitamins if they are getting everything they need from their food. Most commercial pet foods try their best to meet the minimum recommendations for vitamins and minerals set by regulating organizations like the AAFCO. However, things to keep in mind are:
- These minimum recommendations are generalizations and do not take into account your pet's unique dietary needs.
- Some pets may require larger amounts of vitamins and minerals like our four-legged pals battling a chronic illness or injury.
- These minimum requirements are meant to prevent diseases caused by the absence of specific vitamins and minerals (only studied in isolation at a lab). Vitamins and minerals in the body do not exist in isolation. There are many other micronutrients beneficial for optimal pet health that are often not included in these nutritional requirements.
- Any time food is processed, a large quantity of the nutritional value in the raw ingredients is destroyed. Manufacturers generally have to add vitamins and minerals back into the food.
- The majority of pets only eat one brand and type of food, so they may not be getting everything they need for optimal health.
- Certain pet food may meet AAFCO requirements, but they may lack quality and require additional nutrient supplementation.
- Even homemade diets and raw food diets may require natural supplementation to ensure that your pet is getting everything they need to be healthy.
Like humans, vitamins and minerals in our furbaby’s body work together synergistically rather than function as isolated chemicals. When we single out a vitamin, we may lose the balance that nature provides with interdependent co-factors (helper molecules) like trace minerals or phytochemicals. The best way for your pet to get the vitamins and minerals they need is to get them from whole plant sources rather than made synthetically in a lab. Our Daily Pet Supplement Bundle contains NHV Multi-Essentials, NHV Turmeric, NHV Petomega 3 and NHV Yucca. All of our supplements are full-spectrum and made from the finest quality herbs. Each blend is specifically formulated for pets. Full-spectrum means that all of the vitamins, minerals and trace elements are kept intact during the extraction process to make it bioavailable as daily dog vitamins or natural cat vitamins for your furkiddo.
How NHV’s Natural Daily Dog and Cat Vitamins Support Health and Vitality

The best way for your pet to get the vitamins and minerals they need is to get them from whole plant sources rather than made synthetically in a lab. Our Daily Pet Supplement Bundle contains NHV Multi-Essentials, NHV Turmeric, NHV Petomega 3 and NHV Yucca. All of our supplements are full-spectrum and made from the finest quality herbs. Each blend is specifically formulated for pets. Full-spectrum means that all of the vitamins, minerals and trace elements are kept intact during the extraction process to make it bioavailable as daily dog vitamins or natural cat vitamins for your furkiddo.
