Holistic Medicine

For many pet parents, having the option to choose alternative therapy for their furry family members is a huge benefit. At Ridgeview Animal Hospital, we’re pleased to offer a number of these integrative treatment options.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine can be effective in treating chronic medical conditions and is often used to relieve pain, improve and restore proper organ function, and strengthen the immune system. The goal of herbal therapy is to return the body to a state of balance and wellness without the risk of side effects that traditional pharmaceuticals can present.

Homeopathic Medicine

Homeopathic medicine is based on the theory that the same substances which cause illness in the body, when used properly, can also counteract those same symptoms. Homeopathy uses natural ingredients to help strengthen the body’s ability to fight off illness and restore a sense of balance. It is particularly useful in managing chronic medical conditions to improve the patient’s overall quality of life

The holistic medicine options at Ridgeview Animal Hospital are typically used in conjunction with our traditional Western medical services. They can also be used as standalone treatments in certain cases. Your pet’s individual situation will be carefully considered when we are developing our treatment recommendation.
