What is Integrative Veterinary Medicine?

Monday July 14, 2008, 5 - 7 PM Pacific Time
This course is the first in a series that will explore this rapidly emerging medical approach to health and healing for your pet. Integrative Veterinary Medicine is a comprehensive medical approach to pet care which combines the best of conventional medicine and complementary and alternative therapies. This type of veterinary practice focuses on treating the whole animal, partnership between the client and the veterinarian, and it uses all appropriate therapeutic options to achieve optimal wellness for your pet. The emphasis is on using all reasonable therapies or systems of medicine together that provides an increased capacity to prevent and treat disease that would not be possible using one system of medicine alone. This integrative approach to veterinary medicine is designed to minimize adverse effects, maximize successful treatment outcomes and improve the quality of life.
