Holistic Veterinary Services

Our goal is to help fix your pet's health problems at the root. Whether it is nutritional, related to vaccination, toxins, or something else, we strive to determine the cause and fix it so that your pet does not continue to experience the same cycle of symptoms for the rest of his or her life. WE LISTEN: Our doctor takes the time to really listen to you. We are not quickly in and out of appointments as in some practices with a focus on vaccination. WE DIG DEEPER: Our doctor digs deeper into history as well as subtle signs that other non-holistic doctors may not consider significant to determine the best way to treat your pet. Sometimes this includes conventional things such as pain medications as well as holistic treatments. WE ARE PROACTIVE: We help you be proactive about future care of your pet by discussing with you things that may contribute to or worsen your pet's condition and how to avoid these. WE TREAT PETS AS INDIVIDUALS: We make recommendations based specifically on your pet. Your pet is an individual, and what works for him or her may not be the same as what works for others. WE FOLLOW UP: We follow up with you to see if what we are doing is working, and if it is not, then we recommend a different protocol
