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
On the 18th of Dec 2024 my cat Moddy walked into our home limping on his front leg. Three days after that Moddy could barely walk. What ensued after that was never ending visits to my vet, Moddy was put on a huge amount of drugs and had a specialist report to find out what was wrong but nothing was working. Just over $4,000 later I decided to do some research online regarding natural remedies and that is when I came across Jacqui. All I am going to say is this, within two days of giving Moddy the natural products Jacqui had recommended I could see a huge improvement in Moddy. From March 2025 Moddy continued to improve and now he is not only pain free but back to his normal self and enjoying life. Jacqui your knowledge of holistic veterinary care is beyond reproach. There will never be enough thanks I can give you because you absolutely saved my beloved Moddy.
