It is becoming increasingly common for veterinarians to see clients who inquire about using supplements for their pets' health. Many times, the client has done her own research and has already started the pet on a particular supplement. She would like the veterinarian's approval and encouragement. Since most of us learned little to nothing about natural medicine in veterinary school and likely do not have the time to become proficient in this area (unless that is an area of interest and specialization), articles such as this one help fill in the gaps for the doctor to not only converse with the client intelligently but also make sound and safe recommendations.
It is important for doctors to have a basic knowledge of natural supplements (or at least have a colleague to whom they can refer for help in this area). With these thoughts in mind, I want to share some basic information about melatonin, a supplement clients often inquire about (likely because many of them are taking it, as well).
