INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE

What is integrative medicine?

Veterinary integrative medicine combines conventional veterinary care with complementary therapies, such as herbal medicine, nutrition, and acupuncture. It aims to treat the whole animal—body, mind, and environment—by using evidence-based approaches to enhance healing, manage chronic conditions, and improve overall well-being.
