Qi Veterinary Clinic

Qi Veterinary Clinic provides holistic healthcare for dogs and cats in a quiet & friendly clinic. We combine Eastern and Western medical traditions and use acupuncture, chiropractic care, herbal medicines, pharmaceuticals, nutritional care, and modern therapies to prevent and treat disease

Qi Veterinary Clinic was founded to bring holistic health care to dogs and cats in and around Burlington, Vermont. Its origin is the personal story of two individuals who came together with a shared vision. Thérèse Fafard grew up in Greenville, New Hampshire. Nathan Heilman grew up in western Pennsylvania. Thérèse and Nathan married and moved to Vermont in 2000 to begin a family. Qi Veterinary Clinic began in September 2007 as the country descended into recession. The clinic slowly grew with the support of the community eager to embrace holistic health care for their beloved quadrupeds. We added additional staff and evolved from a complimentary care facility offering acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nutritional consultation to a full-service veterinary facility. In 2022, Qi Veterinary Clinic joined A Time to Heal at 140 Webster Road in Shelburne, Vermont in a beautifully renovated and cohesive space
