Welcome to Holistic Care for Animals
Holistic is derived from the word whole, and refers to the use of treatment modalities that take into consideration not just physical symptoms, but mental, emotional, environmental and nutritional aspects of a health problem.
Our goal is to honor the relationship between the client and their animal and we are committed to providing the very best health care. Clients are encouraged to become active partners in the decision making during the course of treatment.
At Holistic Care for Animals our experience demonstrates we can help animals return to a state of health using alternatives to conventional medicines. We do this through the use of: homeopathy, acupuncture, veterinary orthopedic manipulation, herbs and nutritional supplements.
For information on these treatments please proceed to: Modalities
A Wellness Place
When we were searching for a location for our clinic, we kept in mind how much stress and anxiety animals can develop when visiting unfamiliar surroundings. Our goal was to find a location and building which would give them a sense of feeling “at home”. We hope that when you visit us, you and your companion animal(s), will agree we have met our goal and will immediately feel warm and welcome in our “home” environment.
