Introduction

Veterinarians and veterinary clinics are of paramount importance for animal health and wellness.

What does a holistic veterinarian do?

A holistic veterinarian’s work focuses on the following principles:

• Preventive care: The veterinarian focuses on the long-term well-being of the pet by providing proper nutrition and conducting regular checkups. This principle of prevention over cure helps keep parameters such as nutrition, sleep habits, stress, diet, etc., normal and diseases at bay.
• Natural treatment: Instead of prescribing conventional drugs, the holistic practitioner advises more natural therapies such as physiotherapy, acupuncture, and more. The principle here is to heal the body making sure that the pet doesn’t suffer from any side effects.
• Comprehensive pet care: Holistic veterinarians approach whole-body treatments, which aren’t considered mainstream.
