What is Holistic Treatment?hampshire vet holistic

 

Holistic Medicine is a comprehensive mind and body approach which looks at the whole animal, both physically and emotionally, as well as its lifestyle, history and environment. The object is a return to health in as gentle a way as possible without reliance on conventional medicine.

 

Diet is an important part of treatment.

 

Whilst I am committed to holistic care I also recognise that conventional medicines are sometimes necessary and in these cases I will work alongside conventional treatment to try to improve your pet’s quality of life.

 

I use my clinical experience as a Veterinary Surgeon, trained in both conventional and holistic medicine, to achieve the best approach in each individual case.

 

Conventional Medicines will never suddenly be withdrawn; the aim is a gradual decrease in any drugs and replacement, if appropriate, with a more naturally based medicinal therapy.
