Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine needles at specific points to stimulate healing in pets. This 2,300-year-old technique helps manage pain, improve mobility, and enhance organ function. We treat cats, dogs, and exotic animals with customized protocols based on individual health patterns.
Spinal Adjustments
Spinal manipulative therapy addresses musculoskeletal issues in pets. Our certified practitioner uses precise adjustments to improve nerve function, alleviate pain, and enhance mobility. This treatment benefits animals with mobility issues or chronic discomfort through non-invasive methods.
Herbal Medicines
Traditional Chinese herbal formulations support pet health through natural ingredients. These 3,600-year-old remedies address various conditions using customized formulas. We combine modern veterinary science with time-tested botanical knowledge to create effective treatment plans for chronic and acute health issues.
Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses light energy to stimulate cellular function in pets. This FDA-approved treatment reduces inflammation, accelerates healing, and manages pain. We employ Class 3 lasers for non-invasive treatment of musculoskeletal conditions and post-surgical recovery in companion animals.
Nutrition
Customized nutrition plans optimize pet health through whole foods. We guide owners in transitioning from processed pet foods to balanced, species-appropriate diets. Our approach combines traditional feeding wisdom with modern nutritional science to address specific health needs and prevent future issues.

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.
