Dr. Sonya Holistic Vet

"As a holistic vet, I like to spend time with each patient looking beyond symptoms to your pet’s character, emotions, and environment, as well as past illnesses and diet.

In this way, I can find the very best remedy or treatment, taking into careful consideration all the factors which may affect your pet’s health and wellbeing."

Dr. Sonya uses a variety of approaches or therapies, depending on her observations including:

Homeopathy

A system of medicine based on the principle of ‘let like be cured by likes’. Medicines are from animal, vegetable, or mineral sources and more recently, man-made substances.

They find the correct stimulus to encourage the body’s natural ability to heal itself and also take care to remove or minimise anything that may stop that healing process.

Acupuncture

 Inserting very fine needles at specific points in the body to stimulate physiological changes along energy channels called meridians, which help to resolve illness, relieve symptoms, and rebalance organ systems.

Herbal medicine

Using plants to heal as people have done for centuries, now verified as a safe and scientifically-sound approach, backed by detailed knowledge of plant chemistry and botanical therapeutics.

Nutrition  

Many pet foods, even expensive brands, don’t adequately meet the dietary needs of animals. Ill-health and behavioural problems can be the result. Raw food and a specifically-formulated diet is the way to go.

Allopathic medicine

While complementary treatments are always my first choice, Dr. Sonya wouldn’t hesitate to use other medication if that was the best option for your pet.
