Holistic vet care that looks beyond symptoms
Hope & Healing for Pets & Their People
There’s often more to the story than what’s immediately visible. At the heart of our work as a holistic veterinary practice is a commitment to understanding, education, and whole-pet wellbeing. We help pet owners move beyond uncertainty and make informed decisions that support lasting health and quality of life.
Our Approach
Understanding the Whole Picture
Health concerns rarely exist in isolation. That’s why our work begins by stepping back and considering the full picture. This includes examining how different systems interact and how factors such as medical history, environment, and nutrition may contribute to what you’re seeing.
Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all recommendations, we use a thoughtful, individualized lens. We draw from both traditional and holistic vet care options to provide guidance that fits your pet, your values, and real life.

Meet Dr. Matt Parker
A Holistic Vet You Can Trust
Dr. Matt Parker’s journey into holistic vet care began with acupuncture. This introduced him to approaches beyond conventional Western medicine. Through mentors and instructors at the Chi Institute and Healing Oasis Wellness Center, he was exposed to a broader perspective on animal health.
That perspective has since shaped a truly holistic practice. Today, his work draws from whole-food nutrition, hands-on bodywork, rehabilitation, movement, lifestyle considerations, and conventional veterinary medicine when appropriate. He understands the strengths and limitations of both holistic and conventional care. This balanced perspective helps pet owners navigate complex health concerns with greater understanding and a more grounded path forward.

Is a treatment included in the initial visit?
Yes, but keep in mind that the “treatment” may consist mostly of raising awareness of what is making your pet unhealthy, and education & discussion about what you can do to help your pet’s log-term health. Acupuncture, Chiropractic, and Laser Therapy are performed when needed.
Would a Holistic Phone Consultation be helpful for my pet?
YES! Dr. Parker is able to offer a Holistic interpretation of your pet’s medical & life history to help you find the root cause of disease. Dr. Parker is available to discuss many topics that affect health & wellness & longevity from a Holistic perspective.
We may be able to identify potential underlying causes of disease by evaluating your pet’s past & present medical records and lab work. This information is also critical to properly raise young dogs & cats & puppies & kittens and new rescue-pets! We are often able to gain new meaningful information about your pet from our Questionnaire which we can discuss with you in detail.
