Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine needles at specific points to stimulate healing, effectively treating pain, inflammation, and chronic conditions in pets. Our practitioners combine traditional techniques with modern veterinary science to address mobility issues, neurological disorders, and digestive problems. This therapy promotes natural healing by improving circulation and releasing endorphins for pain relief.
Spinal Adjustments
Spinal manipulations restore proper alignment and mobility, benefiting pets with musculoskeletal issues, nerve compression, or mobility challenges. Our certified practitioners address posture problems, gait abnormalities, and chronic pain through precise adjustments. This treatment enhances nervous system function and improves overall physical performance in companion animals.
Herbal Medicines
Custom herbal formulations support organ function, immune health, and chronic condition management using time-tested natural remedies. We prescribe specific blends for digestive issues, skin conditions, and systemic imbalances. These plant-based treatments complement other therapies while minimizing side effects compared to conventional medications.
Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy reduces inflammation and accelerates tissue repair for pets recovering from surgery or managing chronic pain. FDA-approved Class 3 lasers target specific areas to stimulate cellular regeneration and improve circulation. This non-invasive option effectively treats arthritis, wounds, and post-operative recovery.
Nutritional Counseling
Personalized nutrition plans optimize pet health through balanced, species-appropriate diets tailored to individual needs. We guide owners on transitioning from processed foods to fresh, whole-food options that address specific health concerns. Proper nutrition forms the foundation for all our holistic treatment approaches.

Report
This vet. practice is run by a woman who is unpleasant. She charges extra if you use a credit card, offers only a $25 discount if you take a second pet there, and charges a lot for the first visit --$350. Her knowledge of good nutrition for pets is poor and she is still doing curbside pick-up of pets for their appointments. Many vets offer acupuncture these days, so don't feel obligated to go only to her.
