Holistic veterinarians are different from conventional veterinarians in many ways. If you are new to the concept of "holistic" approach, please read one of my articles about this topic.

I love holistic approaches toward the health and well-being of pets (and all the living things on this earth). I feel connected to the balanced and harmonious ways of living with Mother Nature that our ancestors had for thousands and thousands of years.

Ideally, it would be best if your veterinarian practices both conventional and holistic medicine. Conventional medicine certainly has advantages (such as surgery, X-rays, and all the modern treatments for acute and severe symptoms) that holistic medicine doesn't provide.

I would definitely go for both holistic and conventional for the benefits of my dog and cat.
