I thought I should update our About Us....Sadly Orbit, who got me started with this website passed away three months ago....The PawHealer family (me, your host, and my three other dogs) miss him terribly. Orbit finally died of his Kidney failure, but I get comfort in knowing that up until two days before he passed, he was running and playing on the beach. The herbs that we were using to help supplement his Kidney system, provided Orbit natural life substaining energy up until the day he died. He lived out the noraml life span of a dobie and his quality of life was wonderful until the day he died.
Pawhealer.com has become my life, the business of helping pets has become a full time job, and I have come to love what I do with a passion. I fininish acupuncture school April of 2009, I had to move up my graduation time because PawHealer.com has kept me so busy and it is growing, we took our first two retail orders this week!
I'm proud of the work we do here. The herbs that we offer are effective and we have helped so many dogs and cats regain their health...I have been rich and poor during my 52 years of living, but there is nothing that gives me more satisfaction, as much as hearing about the pets that have come to PawHealer.com and have gotten better.....
Thank you for considering herbs for your pet...I understand its a tough decision, because most likely if your reading this, you have been through alot already. Please feel free to call me any time with your concerns or questions.
Regards,

My orginal About Us written when I first put up our website:
Your host of the site is Holly Mead (me). I currently attend Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. I graduate December 2008, and I will have earned my Masters degree in the science of Tradtitional Chinese Medicine. This means that I am an Acupuncturist (for humans) and an Herbalist (for pets and humans).
PawHealer.com came about as a result of my own personal love of herbs and animals. Both of which are our pure and natural!
I have been using herbs on myself and my family members for quite some time, because I am currently attending Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in pursuit of my masters degree for the study Chinese medicine.
I have to give credit to my sweet Orbit for being the impetus for PawHealer.com. Bless his heart, Orbit was my first herbal pet patient. But because Orbit was so seriously ill, it got me looking into the idea of treating animals with herbs. (see his story on the my blog Meet Sweet Orbit)
Orbit, who is now eight years old, a thick, lovable, 125 pound Dobie was diagnosed with Kidney failure. Of course I then followed the Vets instructions and gave him all the medicine as prescribed (at a cost of $1000)...but it was not making him any better.
It was then that I learned and began to understand the power of herbs and how effective they are in order to heal our pets. Since then Orbit has been treated with herbal medicines on a regular basis and his good health has thankfully been restored.
It is absolutely astonishing to me as to how little today's Veterinarian know about herbal remedies considering how well they work for our pets. Most Veterinarians are not schooled to properly diagnoses illness in the terms of Chinese medicine nor are they competent in which to assign a classical Chinese herbal formula for a pet illness.
For me, I have invested over two thousand hours of study of Chinese medicine, acupuncture and herbs.
The herbal formulas that are listed on this site are from a Veterinarian line of herbal remedies formulated just for pets, and what is published on this site is exactly what untrained Veterinarians use when recommending herbal formulas.
I think the final thought I wish to impart for those of you who are taking the time to read through this, is that herbs for dogs can bring back to us the power of natural healing that was once part of our rich tradition.
How did it happen, when and why did we give away the power in to heal our dogs and cats to the Doctors of the world? I learned a saying from a wise aunt, that I believe answers that question; "There are no wise men.".
This guide empowers the user to take back some control of what is natural and good for our pet when it comes to their health. I hope you give these Chinese herbs for dogs chance, for I am sure, that you will be extremely happy with the results.
Best wishes from the PawHealer.com family, hope you enjoy our pictures!
