At the Alternative Vet (AVMC), we use veterinary homeopathy, veterinary acupuncture, veterinary herbal medicine (veterinary herbalism, herbs) and other natural and alternative therapies, for all species. This includes holistic care for horses, ponies, dogs, cats, cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry and others), offering an approach that is alternative to the conventional one. These therapies are integrated for optimum effect.

HOLISTIC VET: We treat all species and classes of animal, in a caring and holistic manner with an integrated program of therapies. An animal’s value is not in its pedigree but in its being. We humans do not ‘own' animals, we share our lives with them. They are our fellow creatures, not our chattels. We also believe that with a sincere love of and respect for Nature vet work should be environmentally friendly.

Since each animal species is different and brings its own unique issues and considerations, we have prepared pages to illustrate what can and, in our opinion should, be done for each. Each is considered in its unique context, taking into account its evolutionary development and natural niche, providing insights into optimal management, care and feeding. This holistic approach, looking into diet, lifestyle, environment etc., provides a welfare bonus, in addition to its direct health benefits. We then offer an integrated treatment program.

We have a deep respect for Nature and we work with Nature

These approaches represent a philosophy that is alternative to the current conventional norm of veterinary care but the use of alternative therapies does not do away with the need for a thorough examination and assessment. Nor does it preclude the use of modern diagnostic techniques where necessary. A holistic vet will take into account all these things, in addition to closely scrutinizing lifestyle, diet, environment, riding, tack, shoeing, grazing, stabling, management etc., depending upon the species. We avoid box rest for horses (click), wherever possible, because of its ill effects on the horse.

At the AVMC, we try not to be ‘bogged down' by terminology or ideology. Much argument accompanies discussions on nomenclature. We do not mind whether we are called holistic, complimentary, alternative or natural. Likewise, it does not matter whether we are described as a holistic, natural, herbal, homeopathic, chiropractic, acupuncture or integrated veterinary practice. The medicine we practice is the best we can offer, for each patient of whatever species and it matters not whether it is perceived as holistic medicine, alternative medicine, complimentary medicine, natural medicine, complimentary and alternative medicine (CAM – CAVM) or integrated medicine. We offer traditional standards of professional care, in an integrated package.
