Give your puppy or kitten the best start in life
Booking your puppy or kitten for a consultation allows a proactive discussion around species-appropriate nutrition and the development of healthy movement patterns during critical growth stages. As a holistic veterinarian, I focus on supporting optimal musculoskeletal development, gut health, and cognitive development through appropriate feeding strategies and early mobility guidance tailored to your animal.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to regulate the flow of energy, or "Qi," along the meridians over the body. Acupuncture uses fine needles in specific points to restore balance and promote overall wellbeing in animals. Moxa herb or laser can also be used to stimulate acupuncture points.
Acupuncture can be used to manage many health conditions, providing a gentle, drug-free complementary therapy for animals, promoting their physical and emotional health.
