In recent years, alternative medicine therapies have gained immense popularity and momentum as effective treatments for humans and pets. Many pet owners, including myself, prefer natural and holistic approaches to support our pets' well-being and good health. Alternative therapies and herbal remedies seamlessly complement traditional veterinary care to improve a pet’s quality of life and help prevent diseases. The root philosophy of alternative treatments and therapies is that the body has the inherent power to heal itself from diseases and illnesses. Through the long-term uses of alternative practices, it can realign, restore, and rejuvenate the body and its cells, promoting energy balance.
From a holistic perspective, each patient requires a comprehensive and personal assessment or treatment that addresses their physical, mental and emotional state. Good health is the absence of disease and the capability to adapt to life’s challenges. Holistic and alternative therapies view disease as a manifestation of an imbalance of energy and cells within the body.
At NYP, we are staunch believers of and encourage you, our tribe and our community to benefit from alternative treatments and therapies to support the long-term health and wellness of your pets.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is one of the safest and non-toxic treatments that improve the well-being of a pet and enhance its immunity to combat illness and diseases. It offers a host of therapeutic benefits emotionally and physically, where conventional treatments have not worked or even exist for a condition. In many cases of chronic disease, injuries or accidents in pets, homeopathic treatment achieves effective and remarkable results while complementing conventional veterinary treatments. However, it is important to note that the therapeutic benefits depend on several factors such as the age of a pet, how much damage has already occurred, and to what extent your pet can recover. If the damage or disease is too serious, highly infectious or even life-threatening, your pet will need conventional, allopathic medicine. Despite the condition or being in an incurable stage, homeopathic treatment will give relief to your pet.
PEMF Therapy
Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) therapy benefits human beings and animals by enhancing quality of life. It stimulates the cells in the body and supports overall wellness. It is highly effective for pets suffering from chronic pain, arthritis, injuries, fractures, neurological disorders, anxiety, and depression. Animals can exhaust their body's natural electrical charges quickly, due to an injury, their age, or an illness - this therapy promotes natural healing by optimizing the body’s natural frequency. It is safe, non-invasive, and has no risks or side effects. PEMF improves circulation, oxygen levels, and cellular regeneration. Renowned for its magical ability to heal injuries, infections, and degenerative conditions it is also used in the horse racing industry. PEMF helps alleviate arthritis, hip dysplasia, neurological disorders, skin issues, wounds, cancers, circulatory problems, fractures, spinal issues, trauma, diabetes, and osteoarthritis, and significantly improves gut health. It is easy and practical to administer at home.

Reiki and Pranic Healing
Reiki and Pranic Healing are popular energy healing techniques, each with its set of strengths and benefits. While Pranic Healing operates on a 'no-touch' formula, using 'prana' from various sources to balance, transform, and harmonize the body's energy, Reiki involves channeling divine or Universal energy through touch or Reiki symbols to heal the symptoms and disease at a deeper level of consciousness. Both Reiki and Pranic Healing can be remotely received by your pet from home instead of being physically present with the practitioner. These techniques also effectively address stress, depression, or anxiety, as well as a range of physical and chronic ailments. You can now book an online consultation session with Reiki Practitioner as well as Pranic Healing Practitioner.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture effectively treats a vast range of physical and mental health issues in pets. It relieves and manages pain, addresses several physical as well as neurological conditions, and enhances overall wellness. Pets benefit considerably from acupuncture even when it is combined with other treatments. If administered by a skilled acupuncturist who maintains high standards of hygiene and safety, this treatment typically has low to no risk of side effects.
Acupressure
Acupressure, an ancient Chinese healing technique for humans originally is now also a popular choice for pets. This gentle, safe, non-invasive treatment can even be used daily to help pets suffering from chronic pain. While it may take a few weeks to see considerable improvements in your pet’s condition, some relief from chronic pain or anxiety might be noticeable soon after the first session. Over time, your pet will enjoy and look forward to the sessions.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is a non-weight-bearing exercise performed in a swimming pool under the supervision of a therapist and in controlled conditions. It is especially beneficial for the rehabilitation of senior or injured dogs. Research shows that this treatment has several benefits such as alleviating pressure on the joints, enhancing the range of motion, and reducing inflammation. Hydrotherapy helps to increase blood circulation, muscle mass, stamina, and muscle strength. It also supports cardiovascular wellness and mental well-being for your pet.
While there are a host of beneficial alternative therapies for pets, NYP has highlighted a few safe options. However, it is imperative and crucial that you first consult with your veterinarian who can help you to identify the most appropriate treatment for your pet.
