What Does Integrative Veterinary Care Mean?
Integrative veterinary medicine brings together conventional veterinary knowledge and complementary treatment options. Rather than relying on one type of therapy, care can be tailored to the individual patient and adjusted as their needs change.
At Healing Paws in Fort Lauderdale, our focus includes mobility, rehabilitation, pain management, nutrition, and complementary therapies for dogs and cats. We work alongside your primary veterinarian to support the medical plan already in place for your pet.
Our Approach to Integrative Care
There is no single treatment plan that is right for every pet. We select therapies according to the individual patient.
Individualized Care
Treatment recommendations are selected around your pet’s condition, history, lifestyle, comfort, and goals.
Whole-Pet Perspective
We consider mobility, nutrition, comfort, function, and overall quality of life when developing a care plan.
Collaborative Medicine
Our integrative services are designed to complement, not replace, the care provided by your primary veterinarian.
Multiple Modalities
A plan may combine rehabilitation and complementary therapies when that approach is appropriate for your pet.
