What to Expect with Holistic Medicine

Holistic medicine allows us to treat the whole patient and not just the presenting problem.

The first appointment is usually booked for one hour at which time we will discuss all aspects of your pet’s health. This includes discussion of nutrition, a physical exam and Acupuncture if warranted.

Herbs and/or supplements may be prescribed and we may institute some dietary changes.

Acupuncture treatments usually last 30-60 minutes and the frequency of treatments depends upon the condition.

You do not need a referral and we are happy to work closely with your family Veterinarian particularly if your pet is currently receiving conventional medication.
