What is Integrative Veterinary Medicine?

Integrative Medicine is healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole pet, including all aspects of lifestyle. It makes use of all appropriate therapies – including but not limited to traditional medicine, surgery, holistic medicine,  acupuncture, herbal therapy and diet – and interventions that are natural and less invasive are used when possible. Integrative medicine means taking the time to individualize our therapeutic plans for each patient based on their history, clinical signs and laboratory tests – treating the patient rather than merely the symptoms.  We take a closer look at any issues to help uncover the root cause of your pet’s medical condition and symptoms, offering a combination of conventional medicine and integrative medical techniques to fit you and your pet’s lifestyle and to promote optimum health and wellness. We believe good medicine is based on good science, we promote health promotion to prevent illness in the long run and always tailor our care to an individual pet’s needs.
