اسلاید 39: Some Caveats to Integrative Therapy Natural DOES NOT mean safe and/or effective!Don’t combine Western and Chinese herbs at the same time.Use herbal formulas from quality companies. (It is best not to create your own formulas unless you receive training as an herbalist.)Study homeopathy before you apply it, or REFER to a specialist.

اسلاید 40: Some Caveats to Integrative TherapyBe aware that clients might try to “self” medicate their pets. Ask!Remember that hydrotherapy is contraindicated in animals with cardiovascular or respiratory depression.Offer clients options (conventional, alternative or complimentary).There is a lot of opposition to integrative veterinary therapy – if you are going to do it… be really good at it!
