Holistic or alternative medicine is primarily based on common sense and has been used safely and effectively for thousands of years.  A holistic approach to animal wellness is a more natural, basic, and simpler approach than many conventional treatments.  We start by looking at all aspects of health (mind, body, spirit, and environment).  We use nutrition as a foundation (preferably a biologically appropriate diet for cats and dogs) and develop a health plan that works to bring the whole patient back in balance. This unleashes the body’s own healing power and the path to wellness begins because the body knows what to do from here.  When all aspects of health remain in balance an individual will thrive, they have the ability to resist disease, and they respond well to the challenges of life.

Proper nutrition, working with foods for healing and immune strength, herbal treatments, massage, homeopathy, chiropractic, and acupuncture are just some of the various holistic modalities available to both animals and humans.
