What is holistic vet care?
“Holistic” vet care means that we aim to address not only the physical, but also the mental and emotional health of your animal companions. As holistic vets, we integrate conventional medicine with our training in natural medicine to provide a broad range of knowledge, skills and techniques to support the health of your animals. Our focus is not just on treating disease - we are working toward wellness & good health for your pets. Feeding a natural, minimally processed, balanced diet is a corner stone of success.
Our vision
Our vision is to empower our clients to be informed, active participants in their animal’s health care, from birth to end of life.
Our aim is to work as a team to find the right balance between the conventional and natural approaches to health care, for better long-term outcomes with fewer unwanted side effects.
