Homeopathy
Gentle, natural remedies that stimulate the body's own healing abilities.
About Homeopathy
Veterinary homeopathy uses highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body's innate healing response. This gentle approach is based on the principle of 'like cures like' and can be used alongside conventional treatments or as a standalone therapy. Homeopathy is particularly well-suited for sensitive animals and chronic conditions where conventional treatments have been ineffective or caused side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is homeopathy and how does it work?
Homeopathy uses highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body's own healing response. It's based on the principle of 'like cures like'—a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy animal can, when properly diluted, treat those same symptoms in a sick animal. The remedies work by triggering the body's innate healing mechanisms.
Is homeopathy safe for my pet?
Yes, homeopathic remedies are extremely safe. They are highly diluted, non-toxic, and have no known side effects. They can be safely used alongside conventional medications and treatments. Homeopathy is particularly well-suited for sensitive animals, young pets, pregnant animals, and elderly pets.
How long does it take to see results from homeopathy?
Response time varies by individual and condition. Some acute conditions may respond quickly within hours or days, while chronic conditions typically require longer treatment periods. Dr. Gleason will monitor your pet's progress through follow-up appointments and adjust the treatment as needed.
Can homeopathy replace conventional veterinary care?
Homeopathy can be used as a standalone therapy or complement conventional treatments. For acute emergencies or life-threatening conditions, conventional veterinary care is essential. Homeopathy is particularly valuable for chronic conditions, behavioral issues, and cases where conventional treatments have been ineffective or caused side effects.
What conditions respond best to homeopathy?
Homeopathy is especially effective for behavioral issues, anxiety, chronic skin conditions, allergies, digestive issues, recurring infections, and post-trauma recovery. It's also beneficial for sensitive animals who don't tolerate medications well and for chronic conditions that haven't responded to other treatments.
