The Gold Standard In Veterinary Care

$103 / session

At Integrative Pet Wellness Center, we practice acupuncture through traditional needling, electro-acupuncture, laser acupuncture, or aqua-puncture.

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine therapy in which thin needles are inserted into specific points of the body. Acupuncture works by activating nerve fibers locally and sending signals to the spinal cord and the brain through neurotransmitters. They also affect local nerve fibers, blood vessels, and lymphatics. Points are carefully selected to treat individual pets based on their presenting patterns. Acupuncture aims to treat the whole body and promote healing naturally.

Most commonly used to treat painful conditions, acupuncture can also treat many different diseases and is especially useful for chronic conditions:

• Arthritis
• Soft Tissue (muscle or ligament) injury
• Neurologic injury or disease
• Before and after surgeries for pain control
• Skin disease
• Heart disease
• Kidney disease
• Liver disease
• Inflammatory diseases
• Immune-mediated disease

This is a perfect alternative treatment to release tension and inflammation in the body. Body work and massages are recommended for a patient who has chronic soreness or pain. As pets can be masters at hiding pain, a complete integrative or wellness evaluation is recommended to see if your pet can benefit from body work and massage from a certified technician.

Electric stimulation is a passive therapy where transcutaneous electrodes are applied with a conductive gel (it is not necessary to shave the patient’s hair).
Depending on what our patient needs we can use two different frequencies:

TENS – Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation: This is mainly used to treat muscle, joint, or bone problems that occur with illnesses such as:

1. Osteoarthritis
2. Fibromyalgia
3. Lower back pain and neck pain
4. Tendinitis
5. Bursitis
6. Cancer pain

EMS – Electric Motor Stimulation: This is another frequency that we use to strengthen the muscular system, and can also aid in pain relief, as it can stimulate nerve regeneration and repair to help with overall pet rehabilitation. Uses include:

1. Rebuilding muscle tone
2. Increasing muscle strength
3. Rehabilitation of injuries
4. Regaining muscle mass naturally lost in geriatric animals

Chinese herbal medicine can be used to:

• Relieve pain
• Restore health
• Help improve and restore organ function
• Strengthen and support the immune system
• Correct underlying imbalances and the root cause of diseases
• Prevent future issues and problems

It can be a powerful treatment on its own or as an adjunct to other treatments or medications. Dr. Lily will review your pet’s condition with you and prescribe Chinese herbs when appropriate.

New patients: Please see information about scheduling appointments here. New patient consultation is $495 and includes a review of medical records, a telehealth consultation for history, questions, a tentative plan, and a 1-hour in-person exam and treatments (includes first acupuncture and laser treatment if appropriate).

Regular Consultation – $102.53

We combine both conventional and holistic care for the most optimal and individualized treatment plan for your pet.

A comprehensive consultation includes Western and Eastern exams. We focus on assessing the body as a whole. We evaluate each individual pet for his/her age, breed, personality, lifestyle, nutrition, supplements, and current and past medical conditions. We discuss your goals and needs to find the most optimal healthcare plan for your pet. An integrative consultation balances out Western and holistic care options to find the pet’s best treatment plan. The goal is to treat the underlying imbalance or disease pattern so the body can begin to heal itself more naturally.

Annual Wellness – $157.50 (includes thermal imaging)

Performed as a simple blood test, your pet can be screened for inflammatory markers in the body. This helps to detect diseases early before problems occur.

(Must be an existing client)

Custom consultation including formulation of diet options – $391.39
 30-minute follow-up and general evaluation if requested – $192.94

Dr. Chen is passionate about pet nutrition. It is one of the most important aspects of total body health. A proper diet can have positive effects on your pet’s health, just like a poor diet can have negative effects. Optimizing diet and supplementing appropriately can have a profound effect in helping your pet overcome disease states or preventing cancer and inflammatory conditions.

Sound and vibrational therapy is an energy healing modality utilizing instruments playing near the recipients or placed gently on specific body locations on a recipient. Singing bowls, gongs, and tuning forks are the most common instruments we use in our office to deliver this therapy. Sound is created by the vibration of an instrument generating a pressure wave, and it is propagated through mediums such as air, water, muscle, tendon, or bone. Sound and vibrational instruments are tuned to very specific frequencies that can generate both auditory and non-auditory vibrations to affect living tissue. When vibration is applied directly onto the body, the pressure wave can propagate through living tissue, and the signal can be dampened or amplified depending on the organ’s natural resonant frequency. Tuning forks can be placed on acupuncture points to stimulate the point and complement the healing effects. Sound and vibrational therapy can help to induce relaxation, promote healing, release myofascial tension, and decrease pain. It is also used as a holistic modality to balance the Chakras of the body.

Rehabilitation and fitness exercises can be used both as preventive measures to help your pet avoid injuries and stay healthy or as a therapeutic treatment as they are recovering from injuries and pain. The goals of these sessions are to:

• Decrease pain
• Improve mobility
• Restore and maintain function
• Prevent further injury

Behavioral issues can cause emotional stress and anxiety or aggression in pets. These stresses can also have a physical impact on the body (because stress increases the hormone cortisol, which can in turn depress the immune system functions). Working hand-in-hand with our team to develop and implement solutions to these behavioral issues can promote emotional and physical health, as well as enhance the human-animal bond.

Your pet’s oral health is more important than you think.

Why? Recent studies have shown that 70% of adult cats and 80% of adult dogs show symptoms of oral disease. In fact, most pet parents are not aware that their pet is dealing with dental issues. Bad breath, plaque build-up, excessive drooling, sore or bleeding gums when eating or chewing, and decreased appetite are signs that your pet’s teeth may require veterinary attention.

Dental disease can lead to major health issues with the heart, liver, and kidneys due to the bacteria in the mouth traveling in the bloodstream. Unfortunately, other than bad breath, sometimes there are few signs of the disease process evident. However, the alarming fact is that 85% of all pets have dental disease by the time they are three years of age.

The good news is that there are many different ways to improve your pet’s dental health, such as home brushing, dental chews, and, most importantly, regular oral exams with your veterinarian.

The most effective way to protect your pet from dental disease is through regular professional cleanings. At Integrative Pet Wellness Center, we perform thorough cleanings that include an extensive oral examination to diagnose any underlying disease under the gums, scaling, and polishing.

We’re also here to go over at-home dental care tips so that your efforts at home and annual dental care at Integrative Pet Wellness Center can lead to a long life of healthy oral care for your pet.

We can help you with your pharmacy and prescription needs on-site and online.

Standard vaccine protocols call for routine vaccinations at recommended intervals. However, many pets have protective titers that last much longer than the recommended interval. Testing for vaccine titer is a blood draw that is sent to a specialized laboratory. Pets with protective titers may not need the vaccine boosters and this can help mitigate some side effects or negative immune system responses sometimes associated with too many vaccines.

Wellness Exam – $102.53

Regular wellness visits are essential to maintain your pet’s overall health. Practicing with a holistic approach, adult pets are recommended to come in annually and senior pets semi-annually for wellness exams and discussions on preventive care. This may include vaccines or vaccine titers and regular blood, urine, or fecal testing to detect early problems.

Flea/tick/heartworm preventatives are assessed on individual risk factors, needs, and benefits in comparison to risks. This is fully discussed with the pet parents before deciding on the protocol for the pet. We will address specific questions and concerns you have about your pet’s health to make sure we have the best plan to keep your pet healthy!

General screening ultrasound exams and specialist ultrasound evaluations are available as a non-invasive, in-depth look into the organs inside the body to screen for any underlying diseases, masses, or emerging problems that are not readily detected on laboratory testing.

What is it?

Vitamin C is a water-soluble compound that provides antioxidant effects, supports the health of connective tissue, and stimulates the production of many important immune factors such as interferon and natural killer (NK) cells. In high concentrations, it has also been shown to be cytotoxic to cancer cells.

Intravenous Vitamin C administers a high concentration of Vit. C into the patient’s vein.

What conditions will benefit from this treatment?

If applicable, oral Vitamin C is potentially a good supplement to support the general health of your pets. However, the bioavailability of oral Vitamin C may not be sufficient as a treatment itself. High-concentration intravenous Vitamin C treatment may be a natural option for pets with cancer, a history of littermates, or parents with cancer, compromised immunity, autoimmune diseases, and chronic inflammatory diseases.

This is a procedure that involves transplanting healthy and balanced gut microorganisms into an animal. Research shows that approximately 80-85% of the immune system is located in the gut and a healthy microbiome is the foundation to the wellbeing of an animal. Some of the common issues that can be addressed with MBRT are chronic diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, allergies, anxiety, skin issues, infections, and others. More specifically MBRT has proven to be helpful with Clostridium infection and Parvovirus infection.

While it can be successfully used to treat active diseases and issues, we also recommend taking a preventive approach by testing for the microbiome, identifying any imbalances early, and treating with MBRT before problems occur.

Ozone was officially discovered in 1785 and it has been used for over 100 years around the world for human and animal healing.
An Ozone generating machine is needed to take medical oxygen (O2) and transform it into Ozone (O3).

How does ozone therapy work?

Medicinal ozone activates intracellular messengers to activate antioxidant mechanisms to restore homeostasis in the body. It improves cellular health, strengthens the immune system, and exhibits anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antiviral, and antifungal properties.

Some Indications to use Ozone:

• Neurodegenerative disease
• Musculoskeletal disorders
• Cardiovascular diseases
• Autoimmune conditions
• Skin issues
• Ulcers
• Otitis acute and chronic
• Cancer

Ozone Therapy can be used topically, rectally, or systemically depending on the specific conditions being treated. These therapies are safe and easy to use. They are more widely used in Europe and they are gaining more recognition and traction here as research and evidence grow to support the therapeutic use of ozone.

Phovia is a new Fluorescent Light Therapy designed to support and accelerate the healing of skin lesions in dogs and cats. Phovia can help pets with skin lesions heal up to twice as fast, resulting in:

• Fewer applications of creams and sprays
• Reduced antibiotic use
• Less time in the dreaded E-collar or cone

Plus, Phovia is a non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical path to improved skin healing. It’s as simple as shining a light on a specific area for a short period of time.

Your pet can be back to normal in up to half the time. Often, you can see visible improvement in skin health in just two to three sessions!

How does it work?

When illuminated by the therapy lamp, Phovia gel releases fluorescent light energy. When the gel is applied to the skin, fluorescent light energy reaches deeper skin layers to stimulate cell regeneration. Light penetration into the skin is variable. Colors of light reach varying depths and create different results.

The Phovia treatment has two components: The Phovia LED lamp and the Phovia Gel. The proprietary gel converts the lamp’s blue light into fluorescence, which skin cells use to fuel the natural healing process.

The major benefits are:

1. Reduces inflammation
2. Speeds up cell replacement
3. Boosts local immunity
4. Increases energy production
5. Improves blood flow

Prolotherapy is a natural, non-surgical treatment that helps the body to heal soft tissue, tendon, and ligament injuries. It is a “new treatment” that has been used in medicine for almost 100 years and It is considered the first type of regenerative injection therapy to heal injuries and eliminate pain.

How does it work?

Joints, ligaments, and tendons have a very poor blood supply, making it difficult for them to heal properly. But they have a lot of nerves!

When ligaments and tendons weaken, they stretch further and irritate nerves, making the injury susceptible to chronic pain.

Prolotherapy or Proliferative therapy stimulates the body’s healing processes to strengthen and repair injured and painful joints and connective tissue. The injection can repair the weakened sites and produce new collagen tissue, resulting in permanent stabilization of the joint.

Benefits:

• Regrowth of tendons and ligaments.
• Stabilization of the joint
• Anti Inflammatory effect

Prolotherapy + Ozone (O3) = Prolozone

Combines the principles of neural therapy, prolotherapy, and ozone therapy.

It involves injecting a combination of procaine, anti-inflammatory medications, homeopathic, vitamins, minerals, proliferative, and ozone/ oxygen gas into degenerated or injured joints and areas of pain.

What are the risks of Prolotherapy/ Prolozone?

As with any type of injection, there are small risks of bleeding, pain, and infection.

We recommend that our patients be lightly sedated in order to perform the most efficient and rapid procedure.

Because the injections are a little deeper than regular injections they must be intra-articular or intralesional to be more effective. Shaving of joint injection sites is also required for sterility.

How many treatment sessions are needed?

Each animal is different, (depending on age, physiological status, the severity of the injury, chronicity, etc). It can be between 1 to 10 treatments.
We recommended 4 to 6 treatments, and with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) it can be reduced to 2 to 3 treatments.

What is Ozone Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation Therapy (O3 UVBI)?

O3 UVBI is a combination of Ozone and UVBI, obtaining the benefits of both therapies.

UVBI therapy (Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation) uses ultraviolet light to treat diseases. This began in the 1870s and continued into the 1950s when most doctors began using vaccines and antibiotics to treat their patients.

But the use and abuse of antibiotics have produced super strains of microorganisms that have become “superbugs” and therefore labeled “incurable.”

This has led many professionals to look for alternative methods to treat these cases, and UVBI emerged and gained popularity as a therapy for infections and immune disorders and as a preventive therapy to detoxify the body.

O3 therapy (Medical Ozone) is a gas formed by three oxygen atoms by an Ozone generator machine. It is one of the most powerful germicides acting against fungi, bacteria, and viruses, it has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, modulates and stimulates the immune system, and also improves peripheral circulation and oxygenation.

O3 UVBI therapy is at the top of our list of cutting-edge treatments offering relief to chronically ill patients and improving their quality of life.

What are O3 UVBI therapy’s clinical effects?

• Powerful anti-infection properties
• Immune system modulation
• Increase circulation
• Provide oxygenation of tissues
• Improve tolerance towards radiation and chemotherapy
• Increase cardiovascular protection
• Decrease inflammation
• Reduce pain

Indications:

• Allergies
• Viral infections
• Autoimmune Conditions
• Chronic Diseases
• Inflammatory conditions
• Bacterial infections
• Circulatory Conditions
• Neurodegenerative diseases
• Metabolic syndrome 
• Cancer

… and many other diseases that do not respond well to conventional treatments

Contraindications:

• Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism 
• Thrombocytopenia
• Severe cardiovascular instability
• Pregnancy
• Convulsive states
• Coagulation disorders
• Anemia 
• Thrombi/clots
• Allergy to ozone

What is the O3 UVBI treatment process?

We draw blood from the patient and mix it with saline.

Then we add medical ozone and circulate the entire mixture with an infusion pump by ultraviolet light.

Finally, we reinfuse the treated blood back into the patient via an IV catheter.

How many treatment sessions are needed?

Each animal is different (depending on age, physiological status, the severity of the injury, chronicity, and if it has other ongoing diseases, etc.). It can be between 1-10 treatments.

We recommend starting with four weekly or biweekly treatments and then spacing them according to the response of each patient.

Pets in their “golden years” need special care. They are at greater risk for degenerative diseases and cancer. They are also more prone to cognitive disorders. Having a complete evaluation of their individual needs is important to prevent these issues early.

At our practice, we proudly utilize AniCell’s advanced amnion products, harnessing the remarkable power of nature to heal and rejuvenate. Amnion therapy is a revolutionary approach in integrative veterinary medicine, leveraging the unique regenerative properties found in amniotic tissue to promote rapid healing and tissue repair.

What is Amnion Therapy?

Amnion therapy involves the application of amniotic membrane and fluid, rich in growth factors, cytokines, and stem cells, directly to injured or damaged tissues. These components work synergistically to accelerate the healing process, reduce inflammation, and enhance tissue regeneration.

Why Choose Amnion Therapy?

✨ Accelerated Healing: Amnion therapy significantly speeds up the healing process, allowing your beloved pets to return to their playful selves faster than traditional treatments.

✨ Natural and Safe: Utilizing natural amniotic tissues ensures a biocompatible and safe treatment, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions and complications.

✨ Pain Reduction: The anti-inflammatory properties of amnion therapy help alleviate pain, improving your pet’s comfort and quality of life.

✨ Versatile Applications: From soft tissue injuries to joint issues, acute and chronic inflammatory conditions, amnion therapy is versatile and can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, promoting overall health and vitality.

How Does It Work?

Our expert veterinary team carefully design a protocol specific to your pet, administers the amnion product directly to the affected area and intravenously if indicated. The regenerative properties of the amniotic tissue immediately get to work, stimulating cellular repair and tissue growth. No sedation or anesthesia needed for this minimally invasive procedure!

What is a microbiome test and why do we recommend it?

Microbiome test involves analyzing the microorganisms (bacteria) that live in the digestive tract of your pet. This plays a crucial role in your pet’s overall health.

• A healthy microbiome is diverse, meaning there’s a good variety of different microorganisms. This diversity is linked to better digestion and absorption of nutrients.
• A significant portion of the immune system is located in the gut. It contributes to a robust immune response, helping your pet fight off infections and stay healthy.
• The test can identify specific strains of bacteria, helping us pinpoint potential issues and tailor treatment plans more effectively.
• Based on the results, we may provide recommendations for dietary changes or supplements to support a healthy microbiome.

What do I need to do?

Bring us a fresh fecal sample.

What is the process?

We send out the sample to a lab.

When will I receive the results?

You will receive the results via email with all our recommendations after we receive them from the lab and have thoroughly reviewed the report.

Why is it important?

The top 3 vitamins we like to test for are Magnesium, Vitamin D, and B12. The foundation of wellness lies in the dietary choices we feed our pets. Ensuring adequate intake of essential vitamins for your pets starts with testing by collecting a blood sample.

Vitamin D
Inadequate levels of Vitamin D have been linked to various diseases, whereas sufficient levels are anti-inflammatory and support the immune system.

Should my cat or dog do this test?

We recommend this test for:

• General Wellness
• Pet Obesity
• Cancer Patients
• Pets with Renal Disease or IBD

Cobalamin (B12)
Vitamin B12 is a vital nutrient. It plays a vital role in DNA synthesis, as well as the metabolism of fatty acids and amino acids. Deficiencies in B12 are linked to conditions such as anemia, nervous system disorders, and immunodeficiencies.

Magnesium
An indispensable mineral, magnesium plays a pivotal role in facilitating the proper and efficient functioning of over 600 biological pathways. Magnesium is like the motor oil of your car engine. If you don’t have enough Magnesium, it’s like trying to run your engine without oil – things just won’t work as smoothly. If there’s a deficiency, you might need to use supplementation.

Okay, I ran the test for my pet. What now?

We will send out your pet’s blood sample to a lab for analysis. Once analyzed, they will give us the results, highlighting and identifying deficiencies. Then we will do a comprehensive review of your pet’s medical history to make a plan to restore the deficient levels by adding supplements or adding additional diet to your pet’s current food.

The well-being of our pets is significantly influenced by their diet and environment. Through a straightforward fur sample analysis, we can identify and address enduring health concerns related to both factors. Fur is suitable for examining prolonged exposure to pollutants or dietary deficiencies in dogs and cats, encompassing macro and microminerals. Pollutants present in the bloodstream, whether ingested or inhaled, are naturally captured by the growing and intact fur follicles.

It tests for:

• 15 Nutritional Minerals (calcium, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, sodium, phosphorus, selenium, silicon, strontium, vanadium, and zinc)
• 10 Environment Minerals (silver, aluminum, gold, boron, barium, beryllium, molybdenum, nickel, and tin)
• 4 Toxic Metals (arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead)

What do you need?
The lab just needs a small amount of fur.

What happens next?
We will send out your pet’s fur sample to a lab for analysis. Once analyzed, they will give us the results, highlighting and identifying which toxic metals are present. Then we will do a comprehensive review of your pet’s medical history to make a detoxification plan.

Testing for allergies in pets is crucial as it helps pinpoint specific triggers, allowing for a targeted treatment plan that addresses the root cause of allergic reactions. This precision not only improves the effectiveness of interventions but also contributes to a better quality of life for the pet by reducing symptoms and discomfort.

Identification of Allergens:
An allergy panel helps identify specific allergens that may be triggering allergic reactions in pets. This information is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan and managing the pet’s exposure to allergens.

Customized Treatment Approach:
Once the allergens are identified, a tailored treatment approach can be developed. This may include allergen avoidance strategies, dietary changes, and, in some cases, immunotherapy to desensitize the pet’s immune system to specific allergens.

Time and Cost Savings:
While there is an initial investment in conducting an allergy panel, it can potentially save time and costs in the long run. A precise diagnosis allows for more effective treatment, reducing the need for trial-and-error approaches and repeated veterinary visits.

Monitoring and Adjusting Treatment:
An allergy panel provides a baseline for monitoring the pet’s response to treatment. If there are changes in the pet’s environment or symptoms, the allergy panel results can be revisited to make informed adjustments to the treatment plan.

Why do we need to run my pet’s urine?

A urinalysis for your pet can provide valuable insights into its overall health. The analysis examines the physical and chemical properties of urine, helping to detect issues such as kidney function, urinary tract infections, diabetes, dehydration, and the presence of crystals and stones.

Urinalysis enables the early detection and management of various conditions that may affect your pet’s well-being.

What can the results show?

• Detecting Kidney Function: It is crucial for assessing kidney health, and helping identify early signs of kidney disease, which is vital for timely intervention and management.
• Identifying UTIs: Can reveal the presence of bacteria, white blood cells, or other indicators of UTI, aiding in prompt diagnosis and treatment of these common issues.

It can also detect blood in the urine, evaluate liver function, check for proteins in the urine, identify metabolic issues, screen endocrine disorders, and assess electrolyte balance.

Bloodwork for pets is a fundamental diagnostic tool that aids in early disease detection, provides valuable information about organ function and overall health, and helps guide Veterinarians in developing effective treatment plans for optimal pet care.

How often should my pet get it done?

It depends on each pet and if they have any prior health issues, but we recommend adult pets once yearly, senior pets twice a year, and geriatric pets every three months.

How do you collect the blood?

We collect the blood wherever the pet is calm and comfortable. The jugular vein (neck area) is large and easily accessible, making it a practical choice for blood collection. We can also get it from the front or back legs.

When will I know the lab results?

It depends on which panel we run, but it could take up to 7 days or sooner for results to arrive and will be discussed with you via e-mail.

Overall Health Assessment:
Blood tests provide a comprehensive snapshot of your pet’s overall health, offering insights into various organs and systems, including the liver, kidneys, and blood cells.

Early Disease Detection:
Bloodwork can help detect early signs of diseases that may not yet be apparent through physical examination. Timely identification allows for prompt intervention and better treatment outcomes.
