About Natural Dog Health Remedies and Me

THANK YOU for visiting natural-dog-health-remedies.com.

I sincerely hope that this website has been able to provide you with valuable information on common dog health issues and insights about using natural complementary remedies that are useful for your dog.

If you are wondering who created Natural Dog Health Remedies and wrote all the pages on this site, well, here I am! My name is Hazel Ketko, and I started this site in April 2008. I love dogs (and cats too :) and grew up with dogs and cats around me. I am now owned by Hana, my 9-year-old mutt who is an exotic mix of Shiba-inu and Golden Retriever.

I strongly feel that as a dog parent, we have to be responsible not only for the health and wellbeing of our dogs, but at the same time, for the environment as well. In other words, we should try to help our pets leave as few "carbon paw-prints" as possible. A wholistic approach to dog care is, in my opinion, to use as much as possible, environmentally-friendly pet products, natural diets and remedies to raise our dogs and keep them healthy.

I am not a vet, but through the years I have taken courses and read extensively on dog health, holistic dog care, and using natural remedies and products to help support and maintain optimal dog health. This site is the "result" of all my training, reading and research on these fascinating subjects. My goal is to create a website that provides accurate, well-researched, and up-to-date information on dog health and care, and natural remedies that are safe and effective for the wellbeing of dogs - our best friend and companion.

Please bear in mind that I am NOT advocating using only natural remedies to treat our pets, nor am I against conventional veterinary practice. It is important to have a good relation with our vets, and their advice and suggestions should be heeded. However, by educating ourselves and learning that there are alternative or complementary ways to treat our dogs, we are empowered and more in control of our dogs' wellbeing.
