Does your dog suffer from eczema, colitis, arthritis or epilepsy? Is your cat affected by asthma, cystitis or viral disease? Has your rabbit got dermatitis or chronic snuffles? These are just a few of the conditions that often respond well to natural medicines.

HISTORY OF CENTRE
The Natural Medicine Centre was opened in July 1996 in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, UK and was one of the first veterinary centres to specialise in natural therapies for pets. The director, Richard Allport, qualified as a veterinary surgeon from the Royal Veterinary College, London, UK in 1973. After ten years as a veterinary surgeon in general practice, he began to specialise in holistic medicines. In July 1996 he opened the NMC as a referral centre for pets, offering treatments with acupuncture, homoeopathy, flower essence and herbal medicine for pets. Richard has been joined by other therapists so that the centre now offers osteopathy, physiotherapy, natural nutrition and healing for pets.
The NMC now also offers natural treatments for people, with therapists available for healing, homoeopathy, osteopathy, acupuncture and specialist massage.
Richard also visits a referral centre in Bayswater, London, UK once a week; and consultations are also available via the internet for those unable to travel to Potters Bar or Bayswater, if there is no other holistic vet within reasonable travelling distance.
Richard is a past president of the British Association of Homoeopathic Veterinary Surgeons, and holds the qualification of Veterinary Member o the Faculty of Homoeopathy (VetMFHom). He is a member of the Association of British Veterinary Acupuncturists, and the European Herbal Veterinary Medical Association. Richard has written several books on natural medicines for pets, writes regular columns in Dogs Today and Cat World magazines, and has appeared regularly on radio and TV programmes.
