We Take Health Care Seriously
Integrative veterinary health care involves the judicious combination of healing modalities based on a clear diagnosis and an understanding of the optimal application of each health care option.

Integrative Practice is Challenging
The clinical application of integrative veterinary health care is challenging. Not only must the veterinarian master the principles of conventional veterinary practice, they must have a thorough working knowledge of a wide range of healing modalities including manual therapies, acupuncture, and the use of nutritional supplements and herbs. In addition, understanding how these modalities interface to provide the best possible benefits for the individual patient is critical. This ties in with an understanding of the short- and long-term impacts of each therapy that is used.
