The Whole Dog

The Whole Dog approach is based on true animal naturopathy, it is so much more than so called “holistic care”, it is more than just feeding a raw diet, more than using “natural remedies”– it’s an approach that must look at and respect the “whole dog”.

True Animal Naturopathy is based the knowledge of the “whole” living system of the animal rather than just looking at and focusing on symptoms or one part of the animal. Whole Dog health is based on the Creator’s laws of nature/health.

Dr. Jeanette (Jeannie) Thomason is the founder of The Whole Dog and the Natural Rearing Breeders Assoc. 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; focused on true animal naturopathy.

"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.

The truly 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 temporarily eliminate a symptom does not produce health. The cause of the symptom, the cause of the physical dis-ease that produced the symptoms in the first place, must be identified and eliminated ."
