Prevention of disease is obviously preferred over treatment of disease.
But what does that equate to for the best wellness plan for your pet?
Well, in the words of my Chinese Medicine mentor (Dr Xie), it depends.
We believe that each pets history, environmental exposures, medical history, personality & more should all be factored into their wellness plan.
No cookie-cutter recommendations here.
We'll help you create the ideal plan including how many times a year your pet should be examined, an optimal nutrition plan, which lab tests are valuable, preventative treatments are necessary & a fun, realistic exercise regimen.

There are two ways to look at it, one from a western medicine standpoint and one from an eastern medicine standpoint.
A body is an energy force, something we know to be true from both western and eastern philosophies.
Acupuncture helps to encourage a body's own healing response by way of its own energy and actions.
An ill or diseased body will be described as having an imbalanced or stagnated energy.
In other words, the body's systems aren't working cohesively.
This could mean a body isn't properly detoxifying a liver, or perhaps is not providing much needed pain relief as with an arthritic, older dog.

Feeding a proper diet, composed of nutritious whole foods, is arguably one of the most powerful ways we can make a positive impact on our pets lives.
Luckily, pet foods are becoming more and more appropriate for our beloved cats and dogs.
As people are becoming more aware of the importance of good nutrition in their own lives, many pet food companies are finally offering pet foods with better ingredient integrity and species appropriate pet foods.
Dr. Smith is very passionate about encouraging owners to also go through the process of learning what to feed.

A well sourced supplement can assist the body's natural functions.
Dr. Kelly likes to use whole food supplements for a variety of reasons.
These products are manufactured using no synthetic components; this allows many things to occur, most notably the body's ability to break down and utilize what we are providing it.
Supplements can be beneficial in both health and sickness.
They can provide a little extra help to an active dogs joints and keep them moving comfortably, before an injury occurs.
