Vision
Animal Doctor Holistic Veterinary Complex is staffed by pet lovers who are highly skilled in delivering unique health care to patients whose guardians appreciate the importance of addressing the mind, body and spirit in the quest for quality and longevity of life.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to promote the prevention and treatment of dis-ease through integrated conventional and natural means for pets and their people, thus influencing a pet's entire being in a complete and positive manner.
Philosophy
To benefit from our time together and best promote a high quality of life for your pet companion, it is important that you understand our holistic approach to your pet companion's wellness. We believe the best health comes from the integration of western medicine and eastern health practices. This is why we offer so many modalities all in one complex.
We are proud to be quite unlike any other veterinary practice!
The health of your pet's mind, body and spirit is influenced by your wellbeing, the health of your pet's environment (external forces including hygiene and nutrition), and genetics. I believe the six most important factors a guardian must provide to achieve maximal quality and longevity of life for his/her pet companion are: unconditional love, safety, exemplary nutrition, abundant exercise, training, and the wellbeing of the guardian's self. Remember, it is difficult for a caregiver to give if he/she is not whole. I encourage you to look at and into yourself during this nurturing process. What can you do to support the health of your mind, body, and spirit?

Veterinarians Insist that You Never Feed this Healthy Food
For years, veterinarians have dubbed February as Dental Month. Ironically, they also encourage the consumption of starch-filled dry kibble diets by our dogs and cats. The carnivore teeth crunch on these "sugar cubes" day after day under the ridiculous misconception that the teeth are being cleaned. In the natural world a dog consumes a rabbit, bones and all, and the canine dentitions are cleaned. Proponents of species appropriate diets can bear witness to the healthy mouths and gleaming, white teeth of dogs who consume a raw, meaty bone diet or are fed a commercial prey-concept diet with raw bones being fed recreationally, but regularly. Raw bones are the only natural product that can actually remove tartar.
