This book is intended both for BARF beginners who want to get started right away and for those who are already familiar with the subject. A quick start guide for beginners is available right away on the inside cover. It debunks many BARF myths. Topics such as: · Grains in the diet—yes or no? · Is it complicated to prepare a balanced BARF meal? · The sense or nonsense of a “proper” calcium-to-phosphorus ratio · The necessity of dietary supplements · Quality characteristics of commercial pet food · Nutrition-related behavioral disorders … and much more are covered in depth. The author—a veterinarian with 35 years of clinical experience—places special emphasis on feeding sick dogs and cats. Following the publication of the books *Dogs Would Live Longer If…* and *Veterinarians Can Endanger Your Pet’s Health*, Dr. Jutta Ziegler was confronted with a huge flood of inquiries from pet owners whose dogs and cats had become ill due to improper feeding or inappropriate treatment. She has since successfully transitioned countless dogs and cats to a species-appropriate diet. Anyone who wants to delve deeper into issues related to digestion and metabolism will find the latest medical insights in this book. Hardly any other BARF book provides such comprehensive background knowledge. Every dog and cat owner can find valuable tips in this book.
Natural Pain Relievers for Dogs and Cats
Pain in dogs and cats is an important warning sign that must be taken seriously. Many pet owners seek natural pain relievers to avoid the side effects of chemical medications. The new Volume 4 of the “Therapeutika” series from VFCG Publishing (vfcg.at) offers in-depth insights and tried-and-true recommendations for safe, natural pain management in pets.
Proven Natural Pain Relievers for Dogs and Cats
PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide):
A substance produced naturally by the body with anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects that can be used in dogs and cats without known side effects. PEA is recommended by many veterinarians as the first choice among natural pain relievers.
Turmeric:
Known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and pain-relieving properties, it supports mobility and well-being.
Frankincense:
Traditionally used to relieve inflammation and pain.
Rosehip:
Provides valuable vitamin C, supports joint health, and has anti-inflammatory effects.
CBD oil:
Derived from the hemp plant, it has calming, pain-relieving, and anti-inflammatory effects without any psychoactive effects.
Green-lipped mussel:
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine, and chondroitin; strengthens joints and reduces inflammation.
Ginger and Green Tea:
Both plants have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Important Information on Use:
Not all natural pain relievers are suitable for every animal species: For example, willow bark should be avoided in cats, as they have limited ability to metabolize salicylic acid.
In cases of severe or persistent pain, a veterinary evaluation is always necessary.
The “Therapeutika” series stands for sustainability and animal welfare. Volume 4 provides scientifically sound, proven solutions for natural pain management and helps pet owners promote the well-being of their four-legged friends in a targeted and safe manner—without any unwanted side effects.
A book by Dr. med. vet. Jutta Ziegler and Lisa Steiner
Dr. med. vet. Jutta Ziegler is one of the best-known veterinarians in the German-speaking world and is regarded as an expert in holistic veterinary medicine, species-appropriate nutrition, and alternative healing methods. After completing her veterinary studies in Vienna and earning her doctorate in 1981, she founded her own veterinary clinic in Austria and later ran a successful small-animal practice in Hallein near Salzburg. Over the course of her decades-long career, she shifted her focus from conventional veterinary medicine to holistic treatment, which centers on identifying the root causes of illness, natural nutrition, and the use of therapies free of side effects.
Dr. Ziegler is particularly well-known for her critical stance toward industrial pet food, excessive vaccinations, and the routine use of medications. Instead, she relies on biologically appropriate raw feeding (BARF), high-quality natural products, and orthomolecular substances to promote the long-term health of dogs and cats. As a bestselling author, Dr. Ziegler has inspired many pet owners to rethink their approaches and exposed shortcomings in veterinary medicine through books such as “Dogs Would Live Longer If…” and “Veterinarians Can Endanger Your Pet’s Health.”
Together with Lisa Steiner, an experienced nutritionist and practice manager on Dr. Ziegler’s team, she has distilled her extensive knowledge into a practical handbook. Both experts bring many years of experience in holistic veterinary medicine and natural nutrition to the table. The handbook they co-authored offers pet owners well-founded and safe recommendations for natural pain management in dogs and cats—without chemical medications, but with a focus on gentle, sustainable therapies and species-appropriate nutrition.
Lisa Steiner supports Dr. Ziegler not only in practice management but also in providing individualized nutritional counseling and developing treatment plans tailored to the needs of each animal. Together, they champion a modern, holistic approach to veterinary medicine that prioritizes the well-being of animals.
Caroline Sperling is an experienced animal naturopath and nutritionist who approaches animal health from a holistic perspective. Her passion for animals drives her to identify the root causes of problems in order to provide long-term solutions. Caroline Sperling carefully analyzes all relevant factors—such as physical ailments, diet, stress, housing, environment, and equipment—to ensure the best possible care. Her goal is to improve animals’ health, fitness, and quality of life by taking preventive measures and supporting the healing process.
Dr. Jutta Ziegler is an experienced veterinarian with a holistic approach who advocates for healthy and species-appropriate nutrition for pets. Drawing on her many years of clinical experience, she emphasizes the importance of prevention and raising awareness about the risks of industrially processed pet foods. Her goal is to make pet owners aware that species-appropriate food should be free of chemical additives and meet the natural needs of their animals. Her experience shows that many health problems in dogs and cats can be attributed to improper nutrition. Dr. Jutta Ziegler is a successful author of several books on this topic and the owner of a natural pet food store that serves customers throughout Europe.
