Halloween Safety Tips for your Pet
Halloween is nearly here! There will probably be many more trick-or-treaters this year than in the past several years. While we are all eager to get our pets in on the fun, but to keep them safe this Halloween, here are some tips and tricks from Wise and Wonderful Integrative Veterinary Center, your holistic and integrative Sonoma County vet.

Holistic Medicine

Holistic medicine focuses on the whole body, which is made of interdependent components. Holistic veterinary medicine is concerned with the connection between the physical, mental, and spiritual health of pets and their environment.
