The Whole Dog

Dr. Jeanette (Jeannie) Thomason is the founder of the whole dog. She is a Certified Animal Naturopath/natural animal health coach with a doctorate in veterinary naturopathy. She is a published author, natural rearing dog breeder and educator with a focus on species specific nutrition as the foundation for a thriving, long life for our companion animals.

The Whole Dog was created in 2003 to provide education, support and and resources to help you, help your dogs thrive in a long, healthy life

Thriving animals don’t have constant health challenges, not even minor issues, they have strong, balanced immune systems and they vigorously; flourish. Something sadly not seen very often these days.

Dr. Jeannie and The Whole Dog’s focus is on putting the dog’s needs first by taking a “wholistic” or naturopathic approach to life and honoring the WHOLE dog as the species he is – a carnivore. Honoring the dog as such is by far the best gift you can give him.

The truly holistic or naturopathic philosophy and approach that I teach, live by and work with, looks at and works with “the whole dog”, in a natural way that addresses their minds as well as their bodies. Natural wellness is about igniting the body’s own internal healing force and stimulating its natural abilities to heal itself.

To simply cover up or temporarly eliminate a symptom is NOT the same as elimination of the cause of the physical dis-ease that produced that symptom or symptoms in the first place.
