Wholistic Consultations

You may be wondering what "holistic care" means. A common definition is medical care that takes into account all parts of daily life as they relate to health. This includes wellness programs focused on achieving whole-body health through nutrition, exercise, and preventive care. In people, holistic practitioners include mental and spiritual aspects in their diagnosis and treatment plans. Often holistic health care providers use a variety of alternative medical approaches, ranging from acupuncture and herbal remedies to chiropractic and homeopathic remedies.

Dr. Coger's approach to animal care takes into account lifestyle, nutrition, exercise, training and mental stimulation, and more. She integrates natural therapies such as Chinese herbal remedies, a chiropractic-like technique, and nutritional therapy with conventional veterinary medicine. Dr. Coger's unique "wholistic" approach can often improve the health and well being of pets where conventional medicine alone has not succeeded.
