Dear Lifesavers . . .

From longtime client Heather Bennett

I have been trying to write (now almost a book in size) a note expressing what you guys have done & given to me. I am so thankful for these last 6 years. Six years I would not have if not for you all. No soft tummy to scratch while reading a good book. No big beautiful black eyes peering into the shower and saying what ya doin, mum. No perfect paws asking for a slurp of milk.

You didn't laugh when I sent stupid daily logs or asked silly questions. Just kindness, care and compassion. I truly, with what's left of my broken heart, thank you for every second you gave me. And I will never forget you all.

The little tree was such a thoughtful memorial for Bino. I will take wherever I go. And now the GreenWorld Project owe you too, as my friends think a tree is better than a card.

Maybe my procrastinating this note was an omen, as I have taken in a stray girl (?) we named Pearl, so named because her only marking is a teardrop white spot on her bib. I hope you will never have to get to know her professionally, but I have told her about you.

Staff Intro - Terence Ward

Hi, my name is Terence Ward, and I am proud to have joined this HolVet team this summer. My job is to take care of the little details that are necessary for running a business so Dr. Yasson can do what she does best - find cures for sick animals. So you'll find me answering the phone, ordering supplies, shipping out vitamins and remedies . . . whatever it takes to keep the place running.

Here on the blog I'm going to be adding things that don't require a lot of veterinary expertise but can really help our readers understand what a holistic vet like Michele Yasson is all about. For instance, I'm going to be including selections from our mail bag. We get a lot of heartfelt thank-you letters from our clients that are really touching, and Dr. Yasson agreed to let me put some of them here. I may also update things like the doctor's upcoming speaking events schedule or new places that are carrying the VetScripts™ line of pet supplements.

As for me personally, I have spent many years in office administration. My family and I have four cats, and I have had another four cats and a dog in my life up until now. Dr. Yasson's poodles Janvier and Bijou give me their tails of approval.

Speaking of the poodles, did you know that you can add them as friends on Facebook? Yep, some clever guy made an application called Dogbook that allows you to make profiles for your pets. If you have or would like to make a Facebook account, you can add both Dr. Yasson and her animals as friends, for you or your pets.

Maybe it should go without saying, but if you have any questions about HolVet, you can always give us a call at 845/338-3300. Or, if you prefer the computer, just leave a comment on any of the posts here. I look forward to working with you!

Ask Me Anything!

I take a holistic approach to veterinary medicine, and this means that my methods are often very different than those of conventional vets. Because homeopathy and holistic medicine is so new to many people, I am more than happy to spend fifteen minutes on the phone with any new client, answering questions about my practice in general, or your pet in particular.

Simply call my offices at 845/338-3300 and let my staff know you learned about my free consultation offer from my blog. They will be happy to set you up with an appointment.

Vitamin Samples

I understand that people who don't know me might not be willing to assume that my proprietary line of pet vitamins is better or worse than any other product - or nothing at all, for that matter. That's why I'm always happy to give a free sample to any new customer who asks.

Trick is, you have to pay the postage.

So if you would like a free sample of my VetScripts™ canine or feline pet vitamin, mail a self-addressed envelope with two first-class stamps to:

HolVet
286 Binnewater Road
Kingston, NY 12401
Attn: Supplement Request

Include your name, address, and email address, as well as which vitamin you'd like to try for your pet - canine or feline.

Pets and Nutrition

One thing I've discovered in twenty years of holistic veterinary practice is that 9 out of 10 patients that walk through my door are getting suboptimal nutrition. How well would you do if all your food came dehydrated or canned? (If this does describe your diet, call me. We need to talk.)

I've seen many supplement fads come and go. I've tried many, debunked most. With over 50% of my work being with cancer and diabetes patients, I can't afford to use a supplement that doesn't work. Then I finally found the best combination of ingredients and dosages for consistent and impressive results.

Of course, I had to develop it myself, because it was nowhere on the market.

Here's what I have seen using my VetScripts™ supplements with my patients:

• Kidney Failure and Cancer patients start eating and gain weight again.
• Diabetic patients' blood sugar decrease by as much as 30-40%.
• Hospice patients find the strength to get out of bed.
• Less severely ill pets become strong, energetic, and develop beautiful coats.

They're also a breeze to give to your pet - having dogs and cats of my own, I know what the challenges are! No premixing, no special handling, no fighting with pills or games of hide-and-seek while wrapping the pill in something tasty. VetScripts™ is tasty! It's a win-win situation!

VetScripts™ Feline and VetScripts™ Canine are among the lowest priced multivitamins per gram of active ingredients (don't be fooled by the many cheaply priced products that are mostly filler). Isn't that what you want for your four-legged loved ones?
