How it works
Owned by Dr Jacqui Snell, a vet with 30 years experience, I work remotely all over New Zealand, mainly by phone and video telecommunication consultations. I provide advice alongside your primary vet, based on holistic treatment principles and therapies. |
What Animals and Conditions can benefit?
Veterinary holistic medicine works for all animals. My service is best suited to companion animals and has proven especially helpful to people who have been unable to find the right remedy for their pet from traditional veterinary medicine. Veterinary holistic medicine can be helpful in supporting and treating most issues facing pets. |

Testimonial
We noticed our 6 year old Labraspoodle, Clive was looking stiff when he went from sitting to standing and was occasionally crying when his upper back was touched. We reached out to Jacqui who could immediately see he had pulled a muscle in his upper back and had pain in his hips. Jacqui firstly treated the muscle and once this was sorted focused on the hips which were still painful. Jacqui educated us on inflammatory foods to avoid (we were feeding Clive raw meat that contained preservatives and biscuits) and designed a new food regime including herbal medicine. Two months after adopting this plan Clive has no detectable pain in his hips. He is bouncing around and seems a lot freer in his movement. Jacqui's advice was amazingly detailed and insightful and her remote consultation model exceeded our expectations.
