Holistic Vet Therapy in South Florida
Integrative acupuncture, herbal therapy, and food therapy from a highly experienced veterinary team — part of complete care at PAWS.
Holistic Veterinary Therapy
PAWS Veterinary Center partners with Da Cura Pets and Dr. Buckweitz to offer evidence-based holistic therapies alongside conventional veterinary medicine. Working hand in hand, they bring a combined approach to integrative care. For pets with arthritis, chronic pain, anxiety, allergies, or recovery needs, this collaboration can dramatically improve quality of life.
Veterinary acupuncture is a proven adjunct for chronic pain, arthritis, neurologic issues, and post-surgical recovery. Most pets relax during treatment and many show noticeable improvement within 2–4 sessions.
Da Cura Pets and Dr. Buckweitz work hand in hand to deliver Chinese herbal medicine, nutritional counseling, laser therapy, and integrative pain management plans. These therapies complement (not replace) conventional medicine — and we coordinate every plan with your primary vet team.
South Florida senior pets especially benefit from our integrative arthritis programs, which combine acupuncture, laser, joint supplements, and modern pain medications to keep them comfortable and mobile.
