What does holistic pet care entail and how does it differ from conventional pet care?

Holistic pet care focuses on treating the whole pet rather than just the disease symptoms. We use a combination of traditional veterinary care and alternative therapies like acupuncture, herbal medicine, chiropractic, cold laser, and acoustic wave therapy. Unlike conventional pet care, we also take into account the pet’s diet, lifestyle, and emotional well-being. Ready to give your pet the all-encompassing care they deserve?
