Consultations are designed to give owners an integrative opinion about their pet’s health, nutrition, and well-being. They are not intended to diagnose, prescribe for, or treat any disease or injury. They should NEVER take the place of actual physical examination of your pet by your primary care veterinarian, and subsequent prescribed care. It is your responsibility to continue a professional relationship with a hands-on, local veterinarian for routine and emergency medical care for your pet. If your pet has a medical emergency or appears to be not doing well, please see your closest emergency clinic or contact your regular veterinarian immediately.
