There are many people who like to do the raw diets for their pets - the raw meat with bones, and lots of vegetables. It's more natural, like in the wild, although it's not for every pet.

Acupuncture helps with a lot of types of pain. People are more aware now that the pet does not have to suffer. One cat had skin problems, and they were going to put him to sleep. Acupuncture was a last resort and it really helped.

I also work in the clinic where we do acupuncture. It's starting to be popular with older dogs, and you see a lot in improvement.

Most regulars (come in) every two weeks.

It's easy to understand why the cat has eclipsed the dog as modern America's favorite pet. People like pets to possess the same qualities they do. Cats are irresponsible and recognize no authority, yet are completely dependent on others for their material needs. Cats cannot be made to do anything useful. Cats are mean for the fun of it.

People who have lost their pets come to the circle with a picture of their pet and we talk about them, and grieve over them. I believe that it helps.
