Integrative Medicine is the integration of conventional Western medicine, holistic medicine, and now regenerative medicine to provide pets with unparalleled access to health and wellness care that promotes long and healthy lives for our patients. Holistic Medicine is a form of healing that considers the whole individual — body, mind, spirit, and emotions — in the quest for optimal health and wellness.

Holistic Veterinary Care is located in Oakland, CA in the heart of the beautiful and diverse San Francisco Bay Area.
