What is a Holistic Veterinarian?

A holistic veterinarian is one who treats the “whole animal”.

The main focus of veterinary holistic medicine is prevention of disease through natural diets, proper exercise and training and mineral, vitamin & herbal supplementation. The holistic perspective of healing recognizes that the whole body must be in balance for good health to exist. This means not only treating the physical symptoms of a disease but also supporting the body’s immune and organ systems in healing the disease, or imbalance, itself. Prevention of disease is encouraged by taking an assessment of the mind, body, spirit and environment, and making the necessary changes to support the well being of your pet.
