Pet Integrative Medicine

At The Whole Pet Vet Hospital and Wellness Center, we want your pet to have the whole set of care options for truly “whole”-istic health. That’s why we proudly offer pet integrative medicine in Los Gatos, CA, blending modern veterinary medicine with holistic approaches like pet herbal medicine, acupuncture, and chiropractic care.

What Is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative veterinary care combines the best of Western diagnostics and treatments with time-tested Eastern therapies. By balancing both, we provide pets with whole-body care that supports healing, comfort, and long-term wellness.

This may include acupuncture for pain relief, herbs for systemic support, chiropractic adjustments for mobility, or rehabilitation for recovery.

Pet Acupuncture

  • Enhanced healing after surgery or injury
  • Relaxation and stress reduction for anxious pets

Common uses for pet Chinese herbs include:

  • Supporting kidney, liver, or heart function
  • Boosting immune health for pets with chronic disease
  • Improving energy levels and vitality
  • Managing skin conditions such as allergies or dermatitis
  • Providing systemic support for aging pets

Each herbal plan is tailored to your pet’s specific needs by our veterinarians trained in integrative medicine.
