Testimonials

As the primary keeper of the African Veldt I have worked with Beth to pioneer an ever-growing and successful holistic medicine program with a wide variety of species. Beth is a kind person committed to both animal healing and animal welfare. Her homeopathic work has greatly improved the lives of many of our zoo animals.

Beth worked with keepers and veterinary staff to find homeopathic remedies to treat a Dama gazelle suffering from squamous cell carcinoma in the mouth. After the initiation of these remedies I observed an increase in appetite, improved attitude, and significant weight gain. Beth also worked with us to treat a 17 year-old female giraffe diagnosed with pronounced ringbone and navicular syndrome in the forefeet. The giraffe's discomfort was previously only relieved by administering oral Phenylbutazone. With the use of two different homeopathic remedies, we have been able to mange the giraffe's lameness completely without other drugs. Beth has also recommended remedies for geriatric goats and an eland with degenerative joint disease, and a goat with Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis. Her remedies both relieved the animals' pain and allowed them to be returned to their respective herds.

Beth Murray is fantastic. She is patient, kind, insightful, genuinely interested, and.... my dog has improved greatly under her care! My dog was scared of the dark, peed in the kitchen at night, had separation anxiety, and was fearful of other dogs and people, among other issues. She has improved on all accounts and overall is much more self-confident and happy. I used to work with one of the  top veterinary homeopaths in the Bay Area and I never thought I'd find a good, much less excellent, replacement.... Beth is it!!

I was referred to Beth by our veterinarian at Creature Comforts to try and remedy my pit bull's chronically itchy skin.  When untreated, Dante was scratching and chewing almost constantly, resulting in red welts on his belly and scabby areas between his toes.  His itching could be controlled by a prescription dose of Prednisone, but I didn't want my dog to be a lifelong steroid user!  On our first visit with Beth, we had a comprehensive discussion about Dante's health and habits.  I was very impressed with Beth's thoroughness and her ability to help me remember small but important details about Dante's behavior.  After reviewing our file, Beth recommended a remedy.  She later refined the dosage and we found what looks like a winning formula.  I'm pleased to report that we are successfully tapering Dante off the prednisone, and his obsessive scratching has ceased.  His belly looks healthy, and hair is growing in on several patches where there had been only bare skin before.

Griselda, my beloved chocolate lab, has changed a great deal since she began homeopathy with Beth. Her skin is less itchy and broken from scratching, and her allergies  less pronounced. More profoundly, her spine and ribs are better aligned, positively affecting her movement and  energy level. She is more friendly with other dogs; and more obedient, doing her doggie duty willingly. Beth has brought out the best in our dear Griselda, and we are very grateful to her!!!

I met Beth a year or so ago.  I do cat rescue, ferals and foundlings mainly, and so have quite a lot going on.  Beth has treated several of my cats, from Bina with the mystery tumors, (truly:  U.C. Davis, UCSF; no one had a clue)  to Esteban, with squamous cell cancer on his face.  Beth takes the time to very, very carefully consider each cat's history, character, energy, social situation, emotional disposition, and any influences that may affect the current condition.  Beth is not afraid to share her unfamiliarity with a situation.  Her evident confidence that she can and will find the best remedy for each cat is unspoken but obvious.  She has great wisdom, insight, stamina, intelligence, and a wide range of knowledge.  Beth is basically the best thing since sliced bread for your cat's (or whatever animal you have) well-being. Beth trusts her intuition, based on careful and diligent research, and has worked wonders with Pearl, Bina, Ban, & Charlotte!

Beth is insightful and passionate about her work.  Her love for animals and her compassion for people transcend words; my pugs and I always feel cared for.  We’re healthier and appreciative for knowing and working with Beth!

 My 16 year old Burmese cat, Shekhinah, has granted me permission to use her name in this report.

A year ago, Shekhinah's two ailments – kidney disease and chronic inflammatory bowel disease - worsened drastically.

The western treatments and the holistic treatments (acupuncture) which had been managing her symptoms stopped working, and I was spending an enormous amount of time and money at the vet.  The situation was made even more upsetting because Shekhinah
hates to be in a moving car, so by the time we'd get to the vet, she'd be  a nervous wreck.

I noticed one of Beth's flyers in my vet's office.  The flyer described animal homeopathy, and had a picture of Beth with a giraffe.  I was already a fan of homeopathy because it has saved my own life several times over. But it was the smiling giraffe who won me over.

I called Beth and she described series of 4 home visits, which sounded like the way to go.  Cat's car problem solved!

During Beth's first visit, she crawled on the floor to meet Shekhinah who was huddling under the hot water heater, trying to get warm.  Beth enticed Shekhinah to come out of hiding and then to sit on my bed as they played together. Beth jotted down observations and asked those questions that only homeopaths ask:

        *  Does she always seek heat?
        *  Does she always bob her head like that?
        *  Do her symptoms get worse in the morning,
                afternoon, or evening? 

Shekhinah loved the attention and seemed to feel better even before any remedies were prescribed.

It's been about a year since Beth's first visit.

I hadn't expected Shekhinah to survive another year, but she's really doing so much better. 
Although she still becomes symptomatic,  I can give her remedies here at home, without needing vet visits, and Beth's phone consultations are both helpful and reasonably priced. 

I would definitely recommend that you call Beth for a consultation if your pet has  a chronic ailment which needs lots of drugs or invasive treatments to keep the symptoms in check, or if your pet is struggling with a disease or with pain which isn't responding to traditional treatments.

I'm also recommending Beth to my human clients who are in need of treatment for physical conditions which aren't responding to Western medicine.
