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.
