At Integrative Veterinary Care, compassionate care means acting as advocates for the animal in a pet-friendly environment. As advocates for the animal, our duty is to make recommendations regarding medical care or lifestyle, that are appropriate to the individual pets needs. We do our best to use vocal cues and body language to put animals at ease, and recommend "better living through chemistry" (appropriate sedation) for our patients when we believe a procedure, such as taking an x-ray, would be too traumatic for that particular pet otherwise. We much prefer being the "yummy treat givers" to being the "bad shot people".
One of our primary goals is client education. We want people to leave at the end of each visit with more knowledge and a better understanding of their pet - its behavior, emotional and physical needs and of its medical status - than they had when they arrived. Our pets have a different way of perceiving the world than we do, and they have needs that we, as owners, may fail to understand. At Integrative Veterinary Care we work to help owners bridge the gap between human and companion animal, thereby strengthening the human-animal bond. |
