Zoopharmacognosy comes to Slovenia

On the weekend of September 28th and 29th  two one day workshops on applied zoopharmacognosy will take place in Ljubljana, Slovenia. On the following day private sessions will be held for people whose dogs are not sufficiently socialised to be able to attend the workshops with other dogs. This is an exciting development and we are very much looking forward to opening up this new frontier for animal self-medication. Check the Events page for details!

Zoopharmacognosis in Buenos Aires

In December we had the good fortune to be able to introduce zoopharmacognosis to a most receptive group of participants at a one day seminar in Buenos Aires. The beauty of the experience was that they were able to appreciate that this simple tool could be a boon to them in their relations with animals, whether as vets, trainers, breeders or pet owners. The dogs gave us all the opportunity to see that, given the chance, their innate wisdom allows them to choose what they need to support their own health and wellbeing. I am sure that this will be the first of many more seminars in this amazing country!

Human Perception & Respect for Animals

“Our perception of animals determines how we treat them, and whether they suffer under our dominion or not. Behind our perception and treatment of animals lie our needs, wants, values, and cultural and religious traditions. Until these are addressed and our perception changed so there is empathy, respect, and communication, the holocaust of the animal kingdom will continue. And those qualities or virtues that make us human – humility, compassion, and selfless benevolence – will continue to be crushed by arrogance, ignorance, and the selfishness of our species.”
