Donāt get me wrong. I have huge respect for our of veterinarians In Dubai but with every consult, I do not expect them to recommend natural modalities that they are not 100% trained in .. šand that is the responsible thing to do!!
Veterinary school has a specific curriculum. They canāt possibly learn everything.
But I also donāt agree with the opposite extreme ⦠small businesses in Dubai promoting ānaturalā products like enzymes with 101 fillers or omega-3ās with 101 oils etc.. and these business recommend ānaturalā simply because they sell them, without actually being clinically trained in what theyāre recommending.
Thatās where I canāt get on board.
Ultimately, it comes down to initiative. Your initiative!!
If you want to explore something outside conventional veterinary medicine, take the initiative to actually learn about it.
And when I say learn, I donāt mean asking ChatGPT , (god please NO ) āāā for a five-minute summary and suddenly calling yourself an expert. š
I mean proper education. Training. or working with a qualified professional in the veterinary science, space
Educate yourself and understand the risks, contraindications, interactions and evidence.
Your vet doesnāt need to know everything.
You donāt need to know everything.
But if youāre going to make decisions about your dogās health, take responsibility for learning.
Because being informed is a partnership not blind trust in either side.
And Iām not walking around vet clinics in Dubai expecting vets to recommend natural modalities, I walk in knowing I will get conventional advice and I prepared myself so well # that I am able to bring in natural care and have meaningful conversations when it comes to pet care.
Learning never stops and when it comes to our dogs , for me at least itās just second nature ..I need to dig deep.. I need to know more and Iāll never settle for just conventional care.
