Once you have made your payment for an online consultation, please email us by clicking here and request an ‘Assessment Form’ for your pet.
The assessment form will be provided to you once we confirm your payment. The form is easy to fill out and can be done in your own time. Once you have completed it, email the form back to our office. Our Naturopathic Physician, Sara Rooney, will then assess your pet’s case and will develop an individual treatment program for your dog*.
*Medicines & supplements are available at an extra cost. They can be ordered by phone, email or mail order almost anywhere in the world. Please note that payments made for assessments and consultations are not refundable. Forms must be completed within 6 months from the date of purchase.
Will Sara suggest specific treatments for my dog after the initial consultation?
Yes. Sara prescribes high-quality, scientifically proven, naturopathic medicines for her animal clients that are only available through registered practitioners*. The superior-quality treatments that Sara prescribes are only available through registered naturopathic practitioners and cannot be compared to natural remedies available ‘off the shelf’ or via the internet that either have little effect or no effect at all. The treatments that Sara prescribes will be made easily available to you, after your dogs health assessment, and can be delivered almost anywhere in the world. Sara may also provide canine dietary advice and other information that she feels is important for the health and wellbeing of your dog.
*Medicines & supplements are available at an extra cost.
What Does An Online Assessment For My Pet Involve?
Online assessments allow pet owners to complete a comprehensive questionnaire about their dog in their own time and email it back to us. Once completed, Sara will then spend time assessing your dog’s case and will develop an appropriate treatment plan that will be designed to treat your pet’s condition and begin the healing process. Photos of your dog and/or of their symptoms (i.e. skin rash; tumour, injury, etc) can also be emailed to us at the same time, if you prefer. However, photos are optional and are not necessary.
Depending on bookings, the assessment is usually completed within 5-7 working days after receiving your completed questionnaire. This method of assessment and treatment is generally a very effective way of treating your pet – utilizing professional advice along with effective, clinically-proven naturopathic formulas. Once the assessment is completed, the recommended treatments will then be easily accessible to you (at an extra charge).
Once I send my dog’s completed assessment form back to your office, how long before I can expect to receive treatment advice for my pet.
Depending on bookings, please allow around 5-7 working days for your pet’s case to be assessed and treatment advice to be provided to you. Often it is much sooner than this but sometimes Sara has a large number of cases to assess. During these busy times, it may take up to 7 working days for you to receive your pet’s treatment plan.
Do Naturopathic treatments take longer to work compared to pharmaceutical drug therapies?
Not usually. Depending on the problem, we have seen dramatic, positive changes in animals when the treatment has been correctly prescribed. For example, dogs with itchy skin and inflamed skin conditions often respond rapidly and dogs that have had several courses of pharmaceutical antibiotics for chronic ear infections without any change in their symptoms, also often experience rapid results from well-prescribed naturopathic formulas. Keep in mind, the natural medicines that Sara prescribes cannot be compared to ‘over the counter’ natural products that often have no effect.
Can I email you with questions about my pet’s health problems outside of my pre-arranged consultation?
We are sorry but we cannot provide advice outside of pre-scheduled consultations. To provide professional health advice, it is a legal and ethical requirement that a full case history is taken, prior to providing any treatment advice. This helps ensure that your dog’s health is being taken into consideration in a thorough, comprehensive manner and that appropriate advice is given. This review takes time and therefore can only be done during a consultation.

Can I get a diagnosis from you for my sick dog?
Sorry but if you are seeking a diagnosis you will need to consult a veterinarian.
Should I tell my vet that my dog is now having naturopathic treatment?
Absolutely! We need to work together for the best treatment outcome for your pet. We recommend taking your dog to a good vet to gain a diagnosis of the condition before seeking our advice for naturopathic treatment options. Good vets genuinely care about animals and therefore, they should be happy for you to seek professional naturopathic treatments that have been prescribed by a well-qualified animal naturopath.
What are wellness programs and why are more people chooosing these for their pets?
Many people are opting for natural health care for themselves and therefore more people are now seeking the same type of health care for their pets. Part of naturopathic health care may involve a preventative treatment program in order to avoid disease development rather than waiting for disease to occur and then treating it. Preventing the onset of disease in animals is just as important as preventing disease in humans and if your pets are consuming the best holistic dog food and taking some of the highest quality nutrient therapies available – they have every chance of living longer and healthier lives. Not only is this ideal for the sake of your pet’s health but it can also be economically more favourable. Health care for chronic diseases can be very costly.
What kind of problems do you treat?
Most conditions that can be treated by mainstream veterinary medicine can be treated with natural health care. For example, acute conditions such as viruses and infections (ear, urinary tract, skin, etc) through to more chronic or recurrent conditions such as allergies in your dog, digestive system problems, inflammatory skin conditions, anxiety disorders, arthritis in dogs, hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases and other long-term diseases can usually be treated safely and effectively with well-prescribed naturopathic treatments. In addition, we try to promote wellness and illness prevention by developing individual programs for your dog to try to prevent the onset of symptoms and disease.
Please note: If your pet is suffering from a serious, lifethreatening condition such as a snake bite, intestinal bloat, burns, etc – seek veterinary attention urgently.
