Integrative Animal Health Center

A friend recommended them to me. I'm very happy with them. They take care of her well. I've used them for a number of years. It's all been good.

They're very knowledgeable and take a more holistic and thoughtful approach to veterinary science.

It's always a pleasure to bring our dog to the vet. Everyone is very friendly and nice and they take great care of her. We have been going here for over 5 years.
It always seems expensive, but it's probably consistent with other places in the area.

My dog tested positive for Lyme and needed a recheck in 6 months - also had been moving a bit stiffly since injuring herself in the fall - she twisted when she fell off the steps - my dog is a clutz - so she had her recheck and a chiropractic session. All went well and she is Lyme free and moving well. This is her regular vets office.

Everyone here is fabulous! The veterinarians are knowledgeable and caring, both for the animals and their human caretakers. I love both Dr. Caviness and Dr. Rogers, and my dogs adore them, too.
The doctors take the time to thoroughly examine my dog(s). They look at the whole dog, not just the body part that is currently sick. They also take time to answer all my questions--clearly and in plain English, using medical terms but also explaining them. (How wonderful it would be if doctors for humans communicated as well.) They also have a sense of humor, which helps you relax when you're worried about your sick dog.
My dogs have had multiple health issues. One has a medical file thicker than the Yellow Pages, so I have had extensive contact with all the vet techs and office staff as well. I feel my dogs are in excellent hands here---and the dogs like coming here, as well. They are treated kindly and gently by everyone who handles them.
I had to put one dog to sleep a few months ago, and was impressed with the compassion shown to me and to her. Another of my dogs has an aggressive form of cancer; the doctors have been straightforward with me about his prognosis and have been helping me provide palliative care.
Testing and treatment options are spelled out clearly, including whether a particular test is likely to give useful or conclusive results, whether a particular treatment is likely to do the job on its own, relative cost, and how well the patient is likely to take to the treatment. I've been given diagnostic options (such as x-rays, ultrasound) and not pressured to choose either nor to decide immediately, but to take whatever time I needed to think it over. I've also been advised when additional testing methods exist, and whether (or not) they would provide useful information that would aid in diagnosis, change the treatment, or affect the prognosis---perspective that has helped me make decisions. I've never felt that any of the dogs have had unnecessary tests or treatment.
I like the holistic approach at Integrative, where a combination of Western and Eastern medicine provides the best, unique treatment for the condition. Right now, one of my dogs is taking both and quot;conventionaland quot; meds (antibiotics for infection, Rimadyl for pain) along with probiotics (to prevent GI distress while on antibiotics) and Chinese herbs to relieve cancer symptoms.
Off the top of my head, I can think of 8 veterinary clinics closer to my home, but I gladly drive the extra distance because I know my fur-kids get exceptional care at IAHC.

Integrative Animal Health Center is excellent. They're great in diagnosis. They are kind, caring and accommodating towards the pet and the owner.

They are a great, full service facility that also uses acupuncture and chiropractic to treat the animals.

They are phenomenal. He is very knowledgable, and the entire office staff is very friendly and nice to work with. The atmosphere is also beautiful. I think he is a brilliant doctor! He does a lot of alternative veterinarian services, such as acupuncture.

The experience was good. Friendly staff, very competent vet.

The fees vary depending on the services we use. The prices are general market value. They are not fabulous but it is not awful either. It is what we pay generally for a vet. What I like particularly about their services is that they offer alternative care as well as standard medicine for the pets. They use vitamin supplements and homeopathic remedies. The veterinarian is also an acupuncturist. They offer a wide range of services which has worked well for us. They seem to be quite effective as well.

All staff were welcoming, pleasant and helpful, including receptionists, vet techs and Dr. Caviness. We waited about 20 minutes until we saw the vet tech, who did a thorough history of both cats. More waiting until we saw Dr. Caviness. The doctor was quite thorough in his examinations of both cats and he spent a good deal of time with us. He was personable and patiently answered all of my questions. He seems very knowledgeable in holistic/alternative treatments for pets and clearly has a passion for what he does. He sent us home with supplements (with good directions on how to prepare them) and diet recommendations.
I'm eager to see how my cats respond to the treatments and diet changes. If they do well, the time (45 minute drive each way!) and money spent will be well worth it.

I see Dr. Linda Rogers at the Integrative Animal Health Center and I really like her. I've been using her services for four years now. She is willing to listen. She seems to generally care about her patients. She is an all around nice person. When it was time to put my dog down, she came in even though she wasn't working. She takes special attention to her clients and her clients owners.

Everything went fine.

I can't recommend a veterinarian more highly. Not only is Dr. Caviness highly qualified in acupuncutre and Chinese herbal medicine for animals, he is a very caring and thoughtful practitioner. He treated my dog with both eastern and western medical treatments, and shepherded me and my dog through the last 18 months of his life with great care and responsiveness. When I had to take my dog for emergency care to a very large clinic in Burlington, Dr. Caviness made time to treat him at a fraction of the cost. His office is the nicest animal care environment I've ever experienced. I couldn't have asked for a better partner in the sunset years of my dog's life. A veterinarian not to be missed.

I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Caviness and his staff. I have been taking my animals to him for the last five years, even though his office is a 45 minute drive from my house!

DR. CAVINESS IS GREAT WITH ANIMALS (AND PEOPLE). HE IS ON TIME, BUT ALSO TAKES TIME TO CONSULT AND NEVER GIVES THE IMPRESSION OF BEING HURRIED. HE CLEARLY HAS A GREAT RAPPORT WITH ANIMALS AND CARES ABOUT HIS PATIENTS.
