Outstanding Client Satisfaction

IF...You are Ready to Say No to Unnecessary Use of Medications, Chemicals, and Vaccines, and Ready to Say Yes to Improving the health of Your Pet, We Invite You to Call Us and Become a Member of our Family!

We are excited to be the only hospital in North Texas offering complete natural medicine for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small animals. While we do offer conventional therapies such as conventional medications and surgery (using our unique holistic anesthetic approach,) we excel in many natural therapies including herbs, homeopathics, acupuncture, and cold laser.

Affordable care-No matter how good the care, if you can't afford it your pet can't benefit. We have a wide range of clients, from those who are minimum wage employees all the way to to those who are multimillionaires. We can craft a treatment plan for your pet based upon your budget. We want to help all of our patients, so we welcome your input into the plan that is best for your pet and your wallet!

However, I can answer that question. Our "specialty" involves 2 things:

We are the only hospital in North Texas offering Functional Medicine for all pets (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small mammals.)

Functional medicine focuses on the function of the patients cells, using and individualized approach to promote health and return sick patients to healthy as quickly as possible. The practices of functional medicine are useful both for healthy patients (to improve their health) as well as for those suffering from illness, especially chronic illness, to return them to health.
