In Balance Veterinary Care

In Balance Veterinary Care is a veterinary practice serving the greater Salt Lake City area with a focus on acupuncture and herbal medicine. Dr. Cate Dolan is a licensed veterinarian and is certified in veterinary acupuncture. She offers a medical perspective that is grounded in conventional Western medicine, although she does not provide most primary care services, instead recommending that her clients also maintain a relationship with a primary care vet or specialist for those needs. Drawing on a holistic view of health and medicine, Dr. Dolan utilizes acupuncture, herbal medicine, and diet therapies to help her patients move toward optimal health

Dr. Cate Dolan grew up on a hobby farm in semi-rural Oregon with a small menagerie of animals and a love of nature. After earning a bachelor’s degree in Linguistics from Yale University in Connecticut, she returned to the Pacific Northwest where she worked for a few years at both a chemistry laboratory and a horse barn before deciding to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. It was during her time in veterinary school at Oregon State University that Dr. Dolan became interested in integrative medicine, and, after practicing strictly conventional medicine for a few years, she began her formal education as a holistic practitioner by completing the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society’s (IVAS) acupuncture certification program
