Holistic Veterinary Care is the best! They are all so friendly! My dog Jack, a 5 year old Chocolate Lab, was bitten by a Black Widow in April. At the time I had no Idea and his leg swelled up badly. I rushed him to the emergency vet in concord.It was there they assessed it as a possible Black Widow bite. However, they could not stop the swelling. I was informed that he may not make it or he might loose his leg. After a exploring the options for treat I was referred to Dr. Richter at HVC for Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment. Jack responded very well to the treatment. After just five treatments, the swelling had gone down so much that Dr. Richter was able to find the Abscess pocket and drain it. Jack has since made a complete recovery and is out running, swimming and playing fetch as if nothing happened. Throughout his treatment Liz emailed or called to check on him daily and still checks to see how hes doing every so offten. They truly care and Im thankful they were there when Jack needed them. I would defiantly go back and if they were closer to my home they would be my regular vet as well.

After my dog was diagnosed with severe arthritis in his front legs several months ago, our vet referred us to Holistic Veterinary Care to pursue a course of physical therapy. Dr. Richter and his entire staff at HVC are warm, professional and competent, also, the facility is beautiful, state-of-the-art, clean, and relaxing. My dog has been on a hydrotherapy and cold laser regiment which has helped him immensely -hes regained some muscle and flexibility! I never thought my dog would get in the water, let alone swim, but the physical therapists there are so gentle and confidence inspiring, that he got right in and started swimming. I am still shocked! We are very grateful to have such a top-notch PT facility close by. They also have a beautiful retail store front, where you can purchase various holistic remedies, treats, toys and accessories. Its a great place to get gifts for our dog & cat friends.

My Chihuahua had bilateral repair of her luxating patellea and it was recommended that she receive physical therapy afterward. She had an initial assessment with Dr. Mascio, the rehab vet, and then she had several sessions with the physical therapists. Everyone was terrific. They had a plan for the therapy and they worked to gradually increase the strength and flexibility in her legs. She walked in the water treadmill and did other exercises. Everyone was so sweet when working with her. She was totally comfortable being there. At the 8 week mark, she was x-rayed by the surgeon and her knees were perfect! Now shes running all over the place like a mad woman...so...success! Everyone at Holistic Veterinary Care is terrific. The reception staff is is friendly and helpful and even submitted my claims to the insurance company for me! Thank you so much everyone.

Goliath, my Akita, had 2 TPLOs and needed to strengthen his rear legs. He absolutely loved the hydrotherapy, walking on the underwater treadmill. He tolerated the exercises and the laser. Everyone at Holistic was very understanding about his needs (not good with other dogs) and made accommodations that fit for him. They also handled his warning signs to back off treatments in the right way. He loved the treats - especially the peanut butter!! Helped to get his focus off of who was doing what to him and allow for treatment to continue and everyone to keep their digits and limbs. As soon as he has his screws and plates removed from his TPLOs, we will be going back for further treatment. It is a very calm and serene place with people who love their jobs and it shows.

My German Shepherd, Kira, shattered her rear leg last year. I was concerned that she would be permanently disabled. After her post-op care at home, I took my dog to Holistic Veterinary Care for 10 weeks of physical therapy, hoping for the best. Dr. Whitlock, and physical therapists, Nicole and Crista offered Kira a variety of treatments that included aqua therapy on a treadmill, balancing on equipment and various muscle strengthening exercises. Their level of professionalism and personal care towards my dog was impressive. Kira has recovered from her broken leg beautifully! No limping or pain. Thank you Holistic Vet Care for your services!

The entire team at Holistic Veterinary Care is fantastic. My 7 1/2 year old labradoodle has been going here for several months to deal with a hip dysplasia/arthritis issue. He does treadmill water therapy and is monitored closely by his physical therapist Nicole and by Dr. Dana Whitlock. I rely on their support and knowledge and I also love how comfortable my dog is in their offices . Vets offices can sometimes create anxiety, but theyve designed their facilities to be welcoming and relaxing. Highly recommend them, as does Moe the doodle.

Our beloved Lizzy was diagnosed with oral melanoma cancer in January and with lymphoma in April 2015. During our journey of helping Lizzy, Dr. Richter and the entire staff at Holistic Vet had been such a valuable source of strength and support to us. The wonderful people at Holistic Vet offered us not only their professional skill (they are very very good at what they do) but also their warm heart and deep support for our Lizzy. We love Dr. Richter and everyone at Holistic Vet Care! Going there was so therapeutic for Lizzy and also for us!

My mini poodle was in terrible back pain. I had gone to my regular vet who is outstanding and he gave us some pain meds and told us to wait. We weren’t seeing any improvement and were facing more extreme treatments. At the Holistic Care they did a treatment and gave her some holistic oral treatment. In a week there was an amazing improvement and she was all better soon after. So happy that another happy dog owner recommended we go here! Our pup is fully recovered!

Ive only taken my dog to Holistic Vet Care once, but my experience was very good. The staff was welcoming and Dr. Richter seemed informed on holistic and alternative treatments and was very easy to talk to. My dog has a chronic condition that requires ongoing medication and so I wanted to look at all my non-pharma options, and also, optimize his diet. Dr. Richter seems informed on alternative treatments, & also seems non-judgmental and thats exactly what I want in a vet.

A rare marriage of hugely confidence-inspiring technical mastery with deep warm empathy for the creatures at both ends of the leash. This man and his beast graduated from rehabilitation at Holistic Vet Care magically rejuvenated and filled with admiration -and gratitude. Also a little better educated about caring for my own creaky corpus.

I love Holistic Vet Care on Piedmont! The staff and doctors where very pleasant, professional and accommodating. My 12 year old kitty was put at ease with their loving care and touch. I will be referring all of my friends with furry companions to Holistic Vet Care. Thank you for the superb care.

I cant say enough about Holistic Vet Care and the people that work there. Without them, I dont know that my beloved Charley (boxer / bloodhound) would have ever walked again. I feel like they love my dog as much as I do. Very compassionate, caring and great people. Thank you Holistic Vet Care!
