Overview

We are a group of people with different skills and strengths, of different ages and experiences and we have come together to be a resource for change. We honor the connection between the physical body and the energy, soul or spirit of all things around us and observe and respect the connection between the animal and plant kingdoms and between humans and our planet. Together with our friends and loved ones, we want to be a resource for you. At Red Fox we take a shamanic approach to holistic healing based on years of experience. We take into consideration the wholeness and interconnectedness of all things and how they work together. Awareness and respect of the physical, emotional, spiritual and instinctive nature of all living things, including our animal companions, is vital in allowing the body to heal

Dr. Jaime Gonzalez and his wife Susan Blake Gonzalez were the original owners of Bear Creek Veterinary Alternatives. They are now the loving owners of The Red Fox Institute. The Red Fox Institute, LLC is dedicated to helping domestic animals and The Red Fox Foundation, Inc. is focused on wild animals. Due to Covid-19 we created this telemedicine consulting site so you may have access to our services from the comfort and safety of your home

Mission — Our mission is to bring you clarity and hope with our simple gifts of knowledge and wisdom gleaned from many years of experience in supporting your animal companions’ longevity and good health
