Thanks Sylvia. I know my mind says go.go.go..... and your holistic vet idea

is good one. There is only one holistic vet I know of a few towns away,

which I won't rule out. I do know tho that there are sooo many groomers

around and people like ones 'close to home'. Another problem I have is

that I am soo new at this (approx. 20 clients) is that I don't have a

business license nor is my mom's garage 'inspected' and all the red tape

stuff that makes me legal. Currently I am trying by word of mouth to do

what I do where I am doing it (buying time) til I can afford overhead. I

have been just getting by the past year w/ odd jobs, no set income. Very

hard but I am making it. People really like me and there happy pets when

they come to pick them up. So many of the dog's have warts, tumors, skin,

ear, you name it problems. I make it a point to point these issues out and

give the owners little tips like ACV in there 'distilled' water, raw, kelp

and on and on........... But these people say they don't have the time to

feed raw, let alone get over the raw phobia. I still tell them how I

prepare etc.... I have found in my short grooming career (1 year) that

people don't have the drive to do these preventable things and would rather

pay a vet ALOT of money for stuff that isn't fixing these pets. I want to

beleive they truly do love there pets like there own child and I give them

the benefit of the doubt as to there ignorance in these matters. And I do

mean that sincerely because parents put there faith in doctors so what's the

difference. I'm not giving up tho on my dream to sell raw frozen meats, my

homemade castille soaps, poo treats (which I already have clients

purchasing) and of course a good green supplement. As of late this 'dream'

has been haunting me, I just don't know how it is suppose to come true w/o

the almight dollar so it's goingto take more than that and it won't be

happening today !!!

Many years ago, i had a kitty that started having seizures, he was

about 16 or 17 at the time. The vet said i was lucky to have him so

long, and gave him the pheno-barb too and predisone! I didnt like

that he was medicated all the time and therefore sleeping, so slowly

i cut back and then stopped it. Not knowing what i know now, but have

some natural intuition, i went from store bought garbage to the

better stuff (nutro at that time) and supplemented him with home-made

broth and avocado (vet suggested), he added a little weight and seemd

to do much better. He had an occaisonal seizure here and there, and

slowly started to deteriorate but he lived to be 21.

Your idea is awesome Pam, and i say GO-GO-GO!!!!! There are so many

people that have no idea about the natural way for themselves,

muchless for their pets! Check around your area for any holistic or

natural vets, i bet you could get a load of clients as referals from

them.
