Preventative Medicine

The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.

Preventative Medicine

Overview

Preventative medicine carries a different meaning in our practice. Through collaboration with your pet’s conventional veterinarians, we work together to provide all the tools in the toolbox for your pet. Owners seeking a holistic approach to their pet’s veterinary care will find unlimited resources at our practice to obtain those results. Whether you are interested in discussing flea and tick prevention, the best diet for your pet, or what other options are available to treat your pet’s disease, we can help.
