Pet owners discover natural healthcare in PCC class
Photos and Story by James Hill
PORTLAND, Ore. – When your pet is sick, it is not unusual to feel helpless in knowing how to care for it. High veterinary costs can also be a factor in how you care for your pet’s maladies. Using natural remedies at home is a safe, helpful alternative: this spring Portland Community College offers pet owners a non-credit class concentrating on natural pet health care.
Do Natural Remedies for Pets really work? Which ones are safe? Join Instructor Gaia Mather to learn about safe ways to enhance the health of your pet through the use of herbs, homeopathy, flower essence and supplements. Pets are not allowed.
The one-day class will meet from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Saturday, May 6, at the PCC Southeast Center, 2305 S.E. 82nd Ave. Cost is $19.
For more information, contact the PCC Community Education office at 503-788-6265.
