What does holistic veterinary care mean?

A holistic approach considers the whole patient, not just the illness or symptoms. This means we look at your pet’s physical health, mental wellbeing, behaviour, lifestyle, and even their environment. Stress, diet, exercise, and social factors can all influence recovery and long-term health.

We also offer a Holistic package on our E365 plan, combining the advantage of our membership whilst opting for more natural approaches, where possible.

Our integrated approach to pet health

When you bring your pet to Edhen Veterinary Surgery, we will:

  • Assess your pet’s overall wellbeing, not only the immediate symptoms
  • Take into account environmental factors, such as living conditions or stress levels
  • Review your pet’s diet and nutrition, which play a vital role in healing and prevention
  • Consider any underlying diseases or imbalances that may be contributing to the problem
  • Recommend the best combination of conventional veterinary medicine and, where suitable, complementary or natural therapies

Why choose holistic and integrated veterinary care?

  • Provides a well-rounded approach to diagnosis and treatment
  • Can support recovery from chronic conditions where conventional medicine alone may not be enough
  • Focuses on prevention and long-term wellbeing, not just quick fixes
  • Empowers pet owners to make informed choices about their animal’s healthcare
  • Enhances quality of life by balancing physical health with emotional and social wellbeing
