Holistic Veterinary Medicine is medical care that looks at the patient from a medical, psychological and environmental perspective.
The holistic approach takes into account factors such as environment, disease pattern, and the relationship of the pet with the owner, and develops a treatment protocol using a wide range of therapies for healing.
