What Is Integrative Veterinary Medicine?

Integrative veterinary medicine combines conventional treatments with complementary and alternative therapies to enhance the overall well-being of our pets. By recognizing the interconnection between physical, mental, and emotional health, this approach treats root causes rather than just symptoms.

Through practices like acupuncture, herbal formulas, supplements, laser therapy, ozone therapy, and nutritional guidance, integrative veterinary medicine focuses on promoting the long term health, vitality, & quality of life for our companions.

    Acupuncture

    Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese therapy that targets specific body points to balance energy flow and promote healing.

  • Red Light Laser Therapy

    Red light laser therapy uses low-level red or near-infrared light to stimulate cell repair and reduce inflammation.

  • A veterinary ozone therapy machine, a sterile glass water trap with a blue cap, and a plastic tube set up on a wooden tray for pet treatments.

    Ozone Therapy

    Ozone therapy involves administering ozone gas (O₃) into the body to improve oxygen use, boost immunity, and fight infections. It's can be used for many different conditions.

    Herbal supplementation

    Herbal medicine is the use of plants or plant extracts to prevent & treat health issues. It's a key part of traditional healing systems and is often used to support immunity, digestion, and overall wellness.

  • Assorted fresh vegetables, herbs, eggs, cheese, and grains arranged on a wooden surface.

    Nutritional Formulation

    Dr. Brown will carefully formulate a diet based on our patients age, species, breed, weight, and health status. Whole food ingredients and essential macro and micronutrients will be formulated to make a balanced diet for your pet.
