On this episode…
Dr. Basko is a wealth of knowledge, practicing holistic veterinarian care for over 35 years. Dr. B, as he’s known, has an incredible list of credentials. Today we speak about the many ways you can naturally heal your pet, anti-aging (what you can do for your senior pet), and the preventive measures you can take now to help your fur baby live a long and healthy life. I’m grateful to Dr. B and my only wish is that I found him sooner to help treat Lilli. We had a long conversation that we split into two episodes.
This is the second half or part 2, along with video and slides to come on YouTube. The first ten people to sign up for my newsletter at greenwithtiffany.com will get Dr. B’s slide presentation.
“I adopted holistic medicine into my veterinary work because it focuses on the true nature of healing – prevention of chronic disease. Holistic treatments have no side-effects, and combine the best of both traditional veterinary care and alternative therapies.”
