About IVC
Many people are becoming more aware of supporting their own health with better diet, exercise, and even with the application of more natural healing methods such as acupuncture and chiropractic care. But did you know that these health care options are becoming more available for pets too?
IVC focuses on preventative health and natural healing or wellness through many holistic options, which can effectively complement conventional veterinary medicine. The team at IVC provides services such as nutrition therapy, functional medicine, herbal medicine, acupuncture, chiropractic, cancer support, immune disease and allergy conditions, massage therapy, ozone therapy, essential oil therapy, energy healing and more.
We strive to provide a positive environment for pets & their people to receive care, support and education to promote a higher quality of life for all!

IntVetCare.comMeet Dr. Katie
I am an integrative veterinarian, which means that I focus on preventative health and supporting natural healing or wellness through many holistic options in combination with traditional veterinary medicine.
Preventative wellness and holistic care options include diet/food choices, nutritional supplements, acupuncture, herbal medicines, homeopathic remedies, essential oils and more.
Conventional medicine (for both animals & people) tends to focus more on the treatment of disease and the symptoms of disease, after the condition or illness presents itself. While this type of health care can have value, it also has limitations.
Preventative and integrative veterinary medicine aim to support the animal’s health through diet, nutrition and lifestyle practices that allow our pets to be more resilient to disease and live better quality lives. In other words, providing our pets with the tools to thrive, rather than to just survive.
In my opinion, the most balanced health care uses a combination of both conventional and holistic options. This is called Integrative Medicine.
It is my goal to empower pet parents to make better choices and take a more active role in promoting health and quality of life for their pets.

IntVetCare.comMeet Jessica
My name is Jessica and I am the Practice Manager, and a Certified Holistic Carnivore Nutritionist.
I am a trained researcher, receiving my Masters degree from UCLA in 2019. During my last year in graduate school, Hamilton (an 8-week old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) entered my life. By the time I graduated, he had been diagnosed with Chiari Malformation, a heart murmur, and hip dysplasia.
Being the center of my world, I began channeling my research skills into how to optimize Hamilton’s health. Over the last several years, I have dedicated my life to improving the lives of animals through nutrition and being proactive with their health.
I have fostered several dogs for which I have facilitated recovery and helped transition them to living their best life with their forever families.
My expertise is with congenital diseases, senior dogs, dogs suffering from allergies, environmental toxicity, the safest protocols for immunization, mental enrichment, dogs suffering from anxiety, and overall general wellbeing.
My goal is to provided pet parents with the guidance and tools to optimize their lives, whether they be just starting out as a puppy, or in their golden years.

Reception
IntVetCare.comMeet Jen
Jen is thrilled to be back in the work force and working with the IVC team after raising her two teenagers.
She came out of the womb loving animals and couldn’t be more tickled that she gets to spend all day greeting the amazing dogs and their equally amazing owners.
She and her husband raise Staffordshire Bull Terriers and own four currently. They live at the beach and take their pack there every other day.
