General Information about HolisticalVets LLC
Thank you for your interest in HolisticalVets LLC!
HolisticalVets LLC offers select holistic modalities, which currently consist of acupuncture, Tui-na, food therapy, and herbal therapy. Learn more about what’s included in an appointment, prices, and more by scrolling down below or clicking here.
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 LLC does NOT provide any emergency services and beyond in-home euthanasia services, HolisticalVets LLC 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 LLC 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).

Learn more about possible precautions and contraindications
HolisticalVets LLC performed extensive research to formulate a list of possible precautions and contraindications, which can be found here; however, it is with the understanding that it may not be an exhaustive list and HolisticalVets LLC is unable to predict every possible risk and complication. Should HolisticalVets LLC become aware of additional precautions and contraindications, HolisticalVets LLC will be sure to update the list.
Holistic Veterinary Services
Acupuncture and Tui-na (available for all animal species)
Food Therapy and Herbal Therapy (available for dogs, cats, and horses)
HolisticalVets LLC’s services are limited to certain treatment modalities and charges for services are not dependent on the treatment modality used, but instead are based on the number of appointments scheduled. Charges were designed in this way as to not let finances dictate which appropriate and indicated treatment modalities are used. Please be aware that anything outside the scope of what’s included in an appointment (listed below) will incur additional charges.
The frequency of follow up appointments depends on your pet’s needs and the goals associated with your pet’s treatments. Some pets benefit from appointments that occur once a week (or even sooner), while others benefit from once every 2-4 weeks. As treatment progresses and improvement is seen, often times, the frequency of treatments can be spread out to once every 2, 3, or 6 months.

Each Food Therapy recipe is formulated and created specifically for your pet and addresses his or her unique needs and diagnosis. Designed to provide a diverse range of nutrients through healthy and varied ingredients, these recipes aim to enhance your pet’s gastrointestinal health and overall well-being.
Formulation of Food Therapy recipes require initial and ongoing in-person examinations by HolisticalVets LLC to minimize the risk that changes in your pet’s dietary needs go unnoticed.
The price listed here includes ongoing support, including any follow-up questions you may have about your purchased recipes. It also includes revisions if different ingredients are necessary (this does not extend to creating entirely new or different recipes).
The formulated recipes will be emailed to you as a PDF. Please note that this service covers the recipe creation only and does not include the procurement of ingredients or preparation of the actual diet.
Please be aware that HolisticalVets LLC is unable to offer refunds for food therapy recipes.
Herbal Products
Price is determined based on the specific herb(s) prescribed for your pet’s needs and diagnosis. Upon your approval and purchase, the selected herb(s) will be shipped directly to your location and detailed dosing instructions will be sent to you via email.
Similar to medications, the proper utilization of herbs requires careful consideration, including adherence to the correct duration, ongoing examinations and diagnosis, and other essential factors.
Please be aware that HolisticalVets LLC is unable to offer refunds for herbal supplements.
