What are your thoughts on alternative medicine for animals? Which aspects do you agree and disagree with?

"Although I am a supporter of traditional medicine, I understand that alternative therapy can offer great benefits for some animals. I agree that there is a science behind alternative medicine; however, alternative medicine should be more strictly regulated. People need to educate themselves better before jumping into 'all-natural' therapy for their pets. Prescribed tonics and herbs can be dangerous if taken in the wrong dosages. Even though it is natural, it doesn't mean that your pet will react favorably. As with all medicine and practices, research and education are crucial."

First and foremost, there are no right or wrong answers to a question like this. Just like you would answer a sensitive question surrounding politics or religion, it's best to support both sides in some aspect when delivering your response. If you plan to voice a highly one-sided opinion, be prepared to give substantial evidence-based thoughts supporting your viewpoint.
