Our philosophy

on the

Principles of Integrative Medical Care

• The patient and practitioner are partners in the healing process.
• All factors that influence health, wellness and disease are taken into consideration.
• The care addresses the whole pet, including body, mind, and spirit in the context of community.
• Providers use all appropriate healing sciences to facilitate the body’s innate healing response.
• Effective interventions that are natural and less invasive are used whenever possible.
• Because good medicine is based in good science, integrative medicine is inquiry-driven and open to new models of care.
• Alongside the concept of treatment, the broader concepts of health promotion and the prevention of illness are paramount.
• The care is individualized to best address the pet’s unique conditions, needs and circumstances.
• Practitioners of integrative medicine exemplify its principles and commit themselves to self-exploration and self-development.
