Holistic Veterinary Services For Your Dog Or Cat.

Seven distinct ways I work with animals and their families. Each appointment is integrative—combining conventional veterinary knowledge with bodywork, nutrition, and an intuitive presence.

Online Holistic & Intuitive Appointments with Dr Ed

Here’s what a Zoom appointment with me looks and feels like. We will begin with a thorough review of your pet’s problems, treatments — what is and isn’t working. I’ll ask questions about your pet’s life, so I can understand what’s going on and what they need. I’ll make suggestions for holistic treatments, supplements, and interventions. I’ll tune in intuitively to perceive whatever energy blockages, karmic issues, foreign energies, or relationship dynamics are part of the problem. I’ll use energy healing to remedy any issues we find. I’ll teach you relaxing touch to regulate and heal your pet’s nervous system. I answer all your questions. Then we will have follow-up appointments to make sure everything is working.

Home Visit Holistic Appointments with The Healing Vet

Most pets HATE vet hospitals — and for good reasons — we have to jab them, poke and prod them, and we can’t explain why! A home visit is about a million times more fun for your pets, and you’ll be surprised at how often we will be able to help your pets without needing to stress them out with a hospital visit. I take time to make friends with your pets. I examine them carefully, kindly, and thoroughly. I can prescribe whatever medications your pets might need. And I get to see your pets in their home, relaxed and happy — this means that I get an accurate sense of how happy and well they are.

Anxiety / Trauma Healing Appointments with Dr Edward
Specialist Focus

Anxiety / Trauma Healing Appointments with Dr Edward

More than half my case load is helping anxious pets. I primarily help anxious pets heal by teaching them how to self-regulate and relax with WEBB relaxing touch (I teach you how to do this too, so you can make it a daily healing medicine). This unique approach often leads to a significant reduction in anxiety/reactivity within weeks for pets whose humans have tried EVERYTHING else with little or no results. I’ll also recommend supplements, strategies, and we will escalate to prescription medications, but only if they are needed. Above all, the way I help you heal your anxious pets makes your relationship with them stronger!

Puppy / Kitten Appointments
Early Life

Puppy / Kitten Appointments

It’s incredibly important to get your puppies and kittens off to a good start in life with minimal vaccinations, healthy diets, socialisation, kind training, and a holistic health life plan. In these appointments, you get to ask all the questions you need to. All the ones most vets simply don’t have time to answer for you! I help you understand what your new furry family member needs from you as they grow in terms of healthy boundaries, kind training, and socialisation. You’ll come out of the session with WEBB relaxing touch skills, kind training games, and a clear understanding of how to support your pet’s well-being and longevity holistically.

2nd Opinion Consultations
Clarity & Confidence

2nd Opinion Consultations

A big, bad diagnosis can be overwhelming. Your regular vet might have given you all sorts of diagnostic results, and want you to do interventions with your pets (surgery, chemo, medications, etc) that are confronting and expensive. You might be feeling pressured to make a decision, or flat out confused and unsure which way to jump. You’ll probably be feeling exhausted and at the end of your tether, and grieving to boot. I’ll help by reviewing everything your vets have done, and spending time with you to answer all of your questions and explain the pros and cons of all the options so you can make a good, grounded, informed choice.

End of Life Support

It’s hard to say goodbye to a dearly beloved pet. You’re losing a member of your family to old age or illness. It can be hard to know when to help them transition with love and respect. It can be hard to let go, so that your old friend can be set free of their body clean and clear. I’ll help you with knowing when it’s time. I’ll help you resolve all toxic grief you might be holding from the loss of previous pets. I’ll help you untangle and let go of your pets on emotional and energetic levels, so that you can support the most beautiful transition possible for your pets. I can do all of this online, and if you live locally to me, I can help with in-home euthanasia too.

Intuitive / Energy Healing Appointments
Subtle Body

Intuitive / Energy Healing Appointments

Sometimes, the causes of illness are found in the energy systems of your pets. If your pets have a chronic illness that is unresponsive to treatment, or if you have a succession of pets with similar health issues, or if you have pets who have similar health issues to you — then there may be issues in the chakra system, karmic issues, foreign energetic influences, or other non-physical/subtle influences in play. In these sessions, I tune in intuitively to discover what’s "under the hood" that regular veterinary and medical simply can’t reach. Sometimes this can be the "missing puzzle piece" that your pet’s healing journey needs!
