These were all questions that our guest, Dr. Shawn Messonnier, DVM,
answered on PAWsitive Radio Show. Mom
interviewed Dr Shawn who was a 1987 graduate of Texas A&M
College of Veterinary Medicine, opened Paws & Claws Animal Hospital in
1991. His special interests include exotic pets, dermatology, cancer, and
internal medicine. In addition to serving clients, he has written for numerous
veterinary and pet publications including Animal Wellness, Body + Soul,
Veterinary Forum, Dog Fancy, Cat Fancy, Dog World, Fido Friendly, Whole Dog
Journal, Whole Cat Journal, Whole Living, Total Health and Wellness.
He is the author of several books, including The Natural Health
Bible for Dogs & Cats, The Allergy
Solution for Dogs, The Arthritis Solution for Dogs & Cats, The Natural Vet's
Guide to Preventing and Treating Cancer in Dogs, 8 Weeks to a Healthy Dog
and Unexpected
Miracles: Hope and Holistic Healing for Pets.
...by the way, the dog and cat at the top of his web page are Dr.
Shawn’s dog Rita, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and his Ragdoll cat, Dysa!
Here’s what I learned from Dr. Shawn:
1)
Animals who are under the care of a holistic
Veterinarian may have a longer life span, Dr. Shawn mentioned that there is a
reduced dependency on drugs, and reduced cost for the pet family, and that pets
could live 1-2 times longer. WOW! This is PAWSome!
2)
Dr. Shawn reminded pet families to read labels, do
their research, don’t believe broad statement outrageous claims, and, to have a meet and greet with
your Veterinarian and animal health care provider to make sure they and their
approach are a good fit.
3)
Dr. Shawn has created his own line of products for us,
for pets! From shampoos to health
products, Dr. Shawn has clinically tested the products.
4)
And… remember to take good care of your pet’s health just
as you do your own.
