Our Services - Alternative Medicine

Acupuncture

Richard Davy and Simon Bailey are trained and experienced in acupuncture for companion animals. We have found this approach extremely helpful to control pain in arthritic animals where conventional medication alone has not been successful

Herbal medicine

All of the vets in our practice are keen to use herbal remedies where possible either alone or alongside conventional medicine.

Homeopathy medicine

Richard Davy has undergone formal training in this area and has a special interest in homeopathic remedies.

Hydrotherapy pool

There are several hydrotherapy pools in the surrounding areas. This kind of therapy is very useful following orthopaedic surgery and for chronic arthritis. It allows the joints to be exercised in a weightless environment and helps preserve muscle mass without causing pain. Hydrotherapy can also be useful as part of a weight loss programme
