> EVENTS > PAST EVENTS > HOLISTIC PET CARE SEMINAR

Dr. Michael Fox, the syndicated author, veterinarian, and holistic pet care advocate, generously donated his time and expertise to the Carver-Scott Humane Society on Saturday November 14th. Dr. Fox captivated his audience with a very informative lecture and seminar on the health benefits of holistic pet care with uplifting stories and eye opening facts on the “main stream” pet food industry. Attendees learned the existence and benefits of natural remedies to common health concerns while learning some main causes for the rise in certain illnesses in household pets including allergies, obesity, skin problems, diabetes, etc.

Interestingly enough, Dr. Fox presented facts which explained why the same health issues that have exploded in humans the last couple of decades are now plaguing our beloved pets. In the age of processed foods, genetically altered crops, artificial ingredients and over vaccinations (sometimes required by city ordinance), it is more important than ever to become educated on the benefits a holistic pet care approach can bring to your families’ pet.

Dr. Fox donated his time, but attendees that purchased tickets for the event not only received an excellent presentation, but also contributed to the Humane Societies’ fund for building a shelter on their recently purchased land near the 169/41 intersection in Shakopee. Dr. Fox has expressed interest in working with the Carver-Scott Humane Society again in 2011 so please be sure to visit our website www.carverscotths.org for future updates.
