A note from Tracey:
The most difficult thing to accept about Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine is that you must be PATIENT! This is not easy for most of us! It can take up to 5 treatments to see the results we are looking for. And these changes tend to be subtle… a better appetite, playing with toys that the animal hasn’t played with in months, more excited about walks, getting up and down easier, being able to decrease doses of Western Medicine, and other small changes which add up to large improvements in quality of life.

Chinese Herbal Medicine
Western medicines are amazing and indispensable! But, there are some conditions where there is not an appropriate Western medicine available. There are also cases where the Western Medicine is at the highest possible dose, or the animal cannot tolerate the Western medicine. Chinese herbs are very helpful in these cases.
Food Therapy
Things we eat can be very healthful, or they can effect us badly. Everyone reacts to foods differently. The Chinese have developed charts that tell us which foods are helpful for certain conditions, and which foods to avoid.
