A Holistic Approach to Supporting Your Pet’s Health

HolisticalVets offers select holistic modalities, which currently consist of acupuncture, Tui-na, food therapy, and herbal therapy.

We decided to utilize a business model that enables us to see our patients in habitats they’re familiar with and feel comfortable in. Our focus is on minimizing stress, anxiety, and fear, which is why we set aside additional time during appointments in case a pet needs more time to relax and feel comfortable. Essentially, we treat pets how we would like to be treated: with respect, kindness, understanding, patience, and compassion. We listen to what pets are telling us (after all, non-verbal communication can be just as powerful as verbal communication) and we work with the pet, not against them.

Since holistic medicine is not a substitute for conventional/Western medicine, we require all clients to have a primary veterinarian that provides conventional/Western services. We firmly believe that an integrative approach, where both conventional/Western and holistic/Eastern medicine are utilized, offers the best care for animals. Please be aware that HolisticalVets does NOT provide any emergency services and beyond in-home euthanasia services, HolisticalVets also does not provide conventional medicine services (except for the occasional sedative if needed for treatments).

If a licensed rabies vaccine is available for your pet’s species and age, HolisticalVets requires that your pet be up to date on their rabies vaccination prior to any appointments for holistic services (unless your pet’s medical records state that your pet should not be vaccinated for rabies).

Please note: At this time, our holistic therapies are reserved for established patients.
