Holistic Pet Care
Here at StayCare Pet Sitting, we believe in a combination of Western and Holistic care for pets due to the exposure we have had over the years in both arenas. Many pet owners still are surprised when they hear that their pets may benefit from the practices of acupuncture, chiropractic care and Chinese medicines.
We have met the Veterinarians who are certified in Holistic pet care and wanted to share some of our local care centers we have referred our clients to!
