I am very glad that Galaxy has brought such visibility to the unique needs of cats. In general, he's got good info and methods and I don't have too much bad to say about those.
Then he got licensed a line of homeopathic products. Then let his name be put on a line of cat toys which are imho rather crappy (neither of my cats will touch them). I hadn't heard of him joining up with Milan buuuut yeah. I just hope that people who see that don't try to apply Milan's methods to cats because holy shit that's a bad idea. (This is going off my knowledge of the methods Milan used when I first watched his show like a decade ago, I haven't payed attention since so maybe he's changed, I don't know.)
Anyway my opinion of Galaxy is firmly in the 'meh' category these days, and this just solidifies it.

Yeah, Galaxy is a really good behaviouralist (and works on the people more than the cats which is the problem) but the homeopathic bullshit is just...no. (I wouldn't judge cat toys by my own cats' reaction to them, though, since it's so individual what a cat will like.)

[dinogrrl]

That's true about the toys. But all the toys of his I've seen have been made of materials that I wouldn't give a cat to play with--hard plastic? Weird rubbery stuff? Maybe it's gotten better more recently but back when they first came out they looked more like toys you'd give a human toddler than a cat.

[nanslice]

Doesn't he still recommend going to a vet while using homeopathic products? I don't think he treats it as either/or; rather, he suggests a marriage between them.

I THINK, anyway, I haven't actually paid much attention to Jackson Galaxy stuff in a while.

[dinogrrl]

I'll be honest, I've only come across his pages for them on his website/shop, and I don't remember reading on them anything about taking a cat to the vet. If it was there, it was down at the bottom of the page...which I didn't scroll to, and if I didn't scroll down that far, you know other people won't.

Now if he actually talks about them on his show, I wouldn't know as I haven't watched his show in years (I don't get that channel), so I don't know what he may say about the homeopathy and/or/vs vets.
imho that still doesn't excuse hawking homeopathy.

Jackson absolutely recommends and encourages people to take their cats to the vet, and to listen to the veterinarian's recommendations, even over homeopathic options. From the video's I've watched, his take seems to be 'hey, this (homeopathic stuff) can be helpful with a lot of cats, but whatever your vet says takes precedence, they know what they're doing'.
