While working with natural medicine and holistic principles may be second nature to some, to others it can be a new, daunting and obscure area. This is not helped by the misinformation put out from some quarters, in an attempt to suppress natural medicine alternatives to mainstream medicine. It is further obfuscated by the fog of commercial propaganda, designed to rob us of our self-confidence and lead us to buy skillfully marketed product.
During his work as acupuncture vet, herbal vet, homeopathic vet and holistic vet, Chris is asked many questions, over a wide range of topics. This reveals not only the extent of interest in holistic veterinary matters but also the difficulty in finding objective and impartial advice, truly based upon animal health and welfare, not upon commercial interest.

We accept no sponsorship from industry, commerce, insurance companies or any other commercial interest and we do not depend upon product or medicine sales, so our advice is truly independent and unaffected by profit motivation. Likewise, we do not promote commercial activities, so our links do not promote marketing material. We do not pay for search engine favors.
Sadly, even in the holistic and natural medicine worlds, there are vets whose advice is attended by potential profits from product sales or links to companies.
We have a deep respect for Nature and we work with Nature
