This page is dedicated to helping my adopters and owners of all animals find an alternative veterinarian.
If you know of a Holistic / Alternative vet not listed here - please send me their information so I can get them on this page.
Thank You ; )
It is important to note that alternative veterinarians will vary with regards to experience and percentage of holistic methods used in their practice.  Ideally you want someone that is at least 50% holistic.

A "Master Checklist" to Help You Report  a BAD VET  Effectively
 
 
State Veterinary Boards / Filing a Complaint
 Check a vets license with your state board to see if any complaints have been made against them - not many people realize they can lodge a complaint that the state board will investigate so keep that in mind. If a complaint was lodged, they really must have done someone's pet great harm for the person to find out how to report them.  You should all report your vet if they've harmed your animals with excessive/unnecessary drugs, vaccines, surgery, etc.

Homeopathic Distance Education
 
The British Institute of Homeopathy in the USA
  Help yourself and others !! - get your education in homeopathy without leaving home - in your spare time.  This will empower you so that you rarely have to rely on a vet. It is intriguing and wonderful to learn -Homeopathy crosses over to all living things.  
 The British Institute is highly acclaimed, catering to veterinarians, doctors, and the average layperson.  They have numerous courses to choose from out of these departments:
 
Homeopathy                        Herbology and HerbalMedicine
Nutrition                               Bach Flower Studies
Aromatherapy
Human Sciences
 
  If you are interested and want to learn to take care of your family and animals, why not get your General Diploma and even take a Homeopathic Veterinary course?   You will learn properly and even have access to a tutor.  I highly suggest breeders to take courses if they are wanting to raise naturally.  Knowledge is very empowering - no more "floundering".   I plan on taking a few myself once I am settled in a new home.

Basic First Aid Priorities for Cats
 Here you will learn how to control bleeding, checking pulse, heartrate, temperature. There is also a list of signs to follow that will enable you to know when to call the vet and when it is not immediately necessary if at all. Also listed is a Homeopathic Remedy list with symptoms and remedy to use. This is something to print out and keep nearby at all times ! It could be a lifesaver !

Getting started with a Holistic Vet
 
A Holistic vet will generally set up a consultation with you that can last anywhere from 40 minutes to 1-1/2 hours. This allows them to get to know you, the animal and explain how they treat, therapies used, discuss nutrition and alternative, healthier feeding as well as what is expected of you, etc.
They will also want your pets health records.
I always suggest if you can, contact / visit a few Holistic vets. Pick the one that you feel most comfortable with. It is always a good idea to get to know a few should you need a secondary or third vet already familiar with you in case your preferred vet is not available when you need them.
 Also ask them if they have emergency service or can give you a number in case of emergencies that you can keep on hand.
 
Long Distance Consultations & Treatment
Excellent alternative if you do not have access to a nearby Holistic Veterinarian.
 Please be advised, there is generally  a fee for consultations, E-Mail treatment guidance, etc. which you will be notified of when warranted.  Payment via credit card is taken over the phone, generally.
 You are receiving services just as you would when going to a local vet. These vets have to be compensated for their time and treatment of your pets. I have 2 local Holistic vets and I still use a long distance vet.  They each excell in different areas and I choose a vet for instances where each excells. 
 My long distance vet has my credit card on file so she can just bill my card should I need her assistance, makes it very easy for both of us.
 
Here are a few well established, Holistic vets  that offer Phone Consultations.  Also look for the ones  in each state further down the page,  where "Phone Consultation" is highlighted.
