🎯 Key Takeaways

• Chemical restraint can provide safe and smooth visits for anxious dogs.
• Separation anxiety is diffcult, especially in pandemic-era puppies. Medications can help calm the nervous system and support training success.
• Colitis and chronic diarrhea most often require deeper diagnostics.
• Dogs who growl or bark are telling us they’re scared — and that’s something to respect, not suppress.
• Alternative therapies are valid but often dismissed due to lack of vet training.
• Vaccine protocols should be tailored and discussed
• Holistic medicine is gaining traction, with herbs like Yunnan Baiyao now found in mainstream hospitals.
• Telehealth consultations give pet parents access to integrative care no matter where they live.
