Vet-Recommended Medications & Natural Alternatives

Welcome to Day 4 of our 5-Day Vet Series!

So far, we’ve covered:

📌 Day 1: Preparing for Your Vet Visit (what to track & bring).

📌 Day 2: How to Advocate for Your Dog at the Vet (asking the right questions, pushing for better care).

📌 Day 3: Understanding Vet Tests & What They Tell You (what bloodwork, urine tests, and more actually mean).

Today, we’re diving into a BIG topic: Vet-prescribed medications, their side effects, and when natural alternatives may be a better option.

While medications can be life-saving, some are overprescribed or come with side effects that make pet parents wonder, “Is there a better way?” Let's break it down!

I also have a book, The Nourished Pup Natural Alternatives to Vet Prescribed Medications that covers 21 of the most commonly prescribed vet's medications and over 70 natural alternatives, with dosages and recommendations on where to find them.
