Getting to the Roots of Holistic Health Care for Dogs

People tend to use the word holistic to describe anything natural, alternative, organic or environmentally, from herbal remedies to organic dog treats to hydrotherapy for dogs to aromatherapy.  Are they correct in this use of the word?

Yes, somewhat.  According to the dictionary definition of the word, holistic is defined as incorporating the concept of holism in theory or practice.  And, what exactly is holism?  It is the notion that a being is more than the sum of its parts.  Following this logic, then holistic health care for dogs would quite naturally include treating more than  just the dog for a specific symptom or illness.
