The Pet Healer

Enjoy this special podcast!

If people were more like their pets, then the world would be a much better place.  Our companion animals give us unconditional love and support. To them, we are the best regardless of how we look, what our bank balance is, or how we are feeling that day.  Pets live in the moment, they enjoy each day while they show love to their owners and honestly express how they feel.  Therefore, we must think about prevention medicine as a means to increase the time we get to share with our companions.

There are common pet emergencies where acupressure could help you stabilize the patient until you reach your veterinarian.

The most common question asked about acupuncture is "how does it work?". In this episode Dr. Vargas explains what those special acupoints in the body are, we can stimulate them, and when is it appropriate to do so.

The success of treatment depends on multiple factors. The animal's state of health, personality, stress, environment, dietary support, and experience of the doctor all contribute to the treatment's success. In this episode, we will take a deeper dive into what "Healing with Intention" means for you and your pets.

We are all made up of energy and that energy radiates beyond our bodies. This concept applies to animals and is known in the area of alternative medicine as the biofield. In this podcast, Dr. Vargas breaks down these complex properties and how they relate to our pets!
