The Therapies

Alternative, Natural & Complementary Treatment for Animals

(for Horses, Ponies, Dogs, Cats, Cattle, Sheep, Pigs, Poultry and others)

At the Alternative Veterinary Medicine Centre (AVMC), we use many types of alternative medicine, holistic medicine and natural medicine treatments, in all species. For the most part, these are holistic therapies.

Veterinary Acupuncture, Veterinary Homeopathy (Veterinary Homoeopathy), Veterinary Herbal Medicine (Herbs), Chiropractic Manipulation and Natural Feeding are the main planks of the service. We support patients with nutritional therapy, in each case. Each patient also receives a check for back problems or spinal problems and manipulation is offered, if indicated.

Since each therapeutic system has its own merits, characteristics and methodology, they can appear somewhat esoteric and remote. These pages are designed to help you to understand them and how any of them may be appropriate for your animal. You may find that one or more have something positive to offer, depending upon the illness or condition your animal is suffering.

Christopher Day is a holistic vet, herbal vet, acupuncture vet, chiropractic vet and qualified specialist homeopathic vet (homoeopathic vet, homeopathic veterinarian or homeopathic veterinary surgeon) and believes that mind, body and spirit should be considered as an integrated whole and treated in the context of environment, diet and lifestyle. All the therapies and treatments practised at AVMC sit well with this approach and may be offered singly or combined in an integrated programme, depending upon the case.

When embarking on treatments, we do not recommend cessation of current conventional therapy. It may be, with time, that conventional drugs can be withdrawn under veterinary guidance.
