FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • We are an integrative holistic veterinary office. We offer a whole body approach to health and wellness using nature along with the most recent scientific research. Our doctors have been practicing veterinary medicine for over 15 years. This experience offers their patients the best medicine by knowing how and when to integrate natural medicine. By collaborating with your pet's other veterinarians (general practitioner and other specialists) we are able to provide the best medicine for your pets unique needs. We are a specialty practice and do not offer vaccines, emergency services or xrays, and do not stock conventional medications such as antibiotics.

    We offer:

    • Integrative Holistic Treatment options for everything from Treatments for chronic diseases to wound care to wellness maintenance including:

    • herbal medicine (Western, Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Greek),

    • acupuncture,

    • body work,

    • nutrition and food therapy,

    • reiki,

    • ozone therapy

    • Nutraceuticals and supplements

    • Wellness exams and comprehensive wellness plans for all stages of life, including blood work if not done by your GP

    • Vaccine titers: while vaccines are necessary, we believe in the judicious use of them and recommend titering when possible

    • A non-biased second opinion

  • Integrative medicine combines all branches of medicine to create the best individual approach to each patient. Using holistic medicine often further supports our patients also being treated with conventional medicine. Holistic medicine can be used alone. Our doctors are proficient in all forms of medicine and know when to treat with holistic modalities and when to refer to a different specialist.

  • Holistic Medicine is a branch of medicine off of the tree of veterinary medicine, like conventional medicine is. Homeopathy is a smaller branch off of the holistic branch.

  • We use very thin acupuncture needles which are barely noticed when placed. If for some reason your pet is uncomfortable after the placement of a needle, it will be removed. Once the needles are in, most of our patients experience what we call the acupuncture chill, where they settle down and take a nap. As every patient is an individual, we are accommodating for our patients' individual needs. So if your pet needs to pace with their needles in they are allowed to do so.

  • Your pet may be sleepy for 24 hours after their treatment or they may go home and run around. Everyone responds differently.

  • Absolutely! Every case is different, and our doctors are experienced veterinarians who have helped thousands of patients. Integrative and holistic medical approaches are like anything else in life which requires maintenance. You don't go to the gym once and are fit for life. The same thing goes for maintaining health. Keeping the body, mind and spirit in homeostasis is a lifelong journey.

  • We recommend your pet comes in once a week for 3 weeks and then a maintenance plan is made which may look like once a month or at the change of seasons.

  • Please watch our informative video on giving your pets medicine and supplements.

  • An initial consultation is $250 and is an extensive 40 minute appointment. This gives you time to sit down with the doctor and discuss what is going on with your pet and your concerns. The doctor will then make treatment recommendations. Any treatments done and prescribed formulas are additional.
