Long bio:
Kim Bloomer is a doctor of veterinary naturopathy, published author, host of two online radio shows, and an avid blogger and writer on natural dog health.

Her interest in the world of animal health goes back to her childhood when as a ten-year old she proclaimed she’d be a veterinarian when “she grows up”. Dr. Bloomer later proceeded to work in a variety of animal-related jobs with her first job in a pet store where she noticed the health of the animals less than desirable. She then went on to work in various dog kennels and eventually veterinary medicine.

The deciding factor in not becoming a veterinarian was the discovery that she wanted to work with well animals and keep them that way.

Through her own natural health self-discovery as Fine Arts major with a dance emphasis at the University of NM, Dr. Bloomer desired to always know more about natural health and then apply what she learned to her own health.

Because of her training in traditional veterinary medicine she thought all she did for her wonderful dogs was the right way to care for them although there was always a bit of nagging doubt in the back of her mind.

Because of the love of her three special dogs, a Great Dane, a Golden Retriever and now a Neapolitan Mastiff, Dr. Bloomer learned what her dogs needed all along to thrive and not just survive. She felt compelled to share that knowledge with the world rather than rest upon that knowledge for her own benefit.

This led to her ongoing blogging efforts to share how to care for animals naturally, with a special emphasis on dogs, by writing about it. Her blogging efforts culminated in her authoring the book Whole Health for Happy Dogs with holistic veterinarian Dr. Jill Elliot. Her writing has been published on many websites such as Suite101.com, in newspapers, and in magazines such as Animal Wellness Magazine, Natural Horse Magazine, and the Chihuahua Connection and online magazines such as Pet Home Magazine and House Pet Magazine.

She hosts a weekly online radio show, Animal Talk Naturally which was born in October of 2005 with like-minded colleague, Dr. Jeannie Thomason. The show is all about empowering pet owners with the knowledge to care for their animals naturally. They bring on guest experts each week to talk about their area of expertise in natural animal health and the human-animal bond. Join the LIVE show each week on BlogTalk Radio at Holistic Pet Audio on Tuesdays or Wednesdays at 2:30 PM Eastern.

Dr. Bloomer continues to do research into natural animal health and welfare. She received her degree in veterinary naturopathy from the Kingdom College of Natural Health. Dr. Kim finished her Bachelor of Science degree in Holistic Nutrition in human health in January of 2008 and is currently studying for her human Doctor of Naturopathydegree with the Clayton College of Natural Health in 2008. Dr. Kim sits on the Advisory Board for Holistic Option

WHAT IS VETERINARY NATUROPATHY?

Many people ask me what in the world IS a Veterinary Naturopath?

In brief, term ‘Naturopath’ describes a practitioner who applies natural therapy. Our spectrum includes the simple, natural use of nutrition, water, exercise, etc. It includes approved natural healing practices such as Homeopathy, Herbal Medicine, Massage, etc.in the prevention and when needed healing of our animals/pets.

The principles of Naturopathy were first used by the Hippocratic School of Medicine in about 400B.C. The Greek philosopher Hippocrates believed in viewing the whole person in regards to finding a cause of disease, and using the laws of nature to induce cure. It was from this original school of thought that Naturopathy takes its principles.

“Remedies from chemicals will never stand in favorable comparison with the products of Nature, the living cell of a plant, the final result of the rays of the sun, the mother of all life.” ~ Thomas A. Edison
