The common denominator among all holistic treatments and therapies is that they work with the body in its attempt to heal. By combining state-of-the-art diagnostic capabilities with proven centuries old hands on healing we hope that we can optimize health and wellness.

Tips on Finding a Trained Holistic Veterinarian

Finding a holistic veterinarian can be a true expedition. There are many veterinarians that claim to be holistic when they do not really fully understand the concept. Many mix Allopathic (standard) treatments with natural treatments and feel comfortable with this concept.

If you are looking for a specific discipline under the umbrella of holistic pet treatment - i.e. Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Chiropractic, Herbal, etc. - or if you do not know what is best for your pet, then you need to find someone with the proper training and credentials, such as founder Dr. Turkell, listed in the AHVMA (American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association) as a registered holistic veterinarian. There is a copy of the AHVMA directory kept at the AHVMA Site.
