Nutritional & Herbal Consultations
At Healing Tails Veterinary Clinic, we believe food is more than fuel—it’s medicine, energy, and the foundation of lifelong wellbeing. That’s why we offer personalised nutritional and herbal consultations to support your pet’s health from the inside out.
Combining modern veterinary science with the wisdom of natural therapies, we create balanced, evidence-based care plans tailored to your pet’s unique needs, temperament, and lifestyle.
Whole-Body Wellness Begins with What We Feed
Every animal is different. Some thrive on a traditional diet, while others benefit from a more tailored approach—especially pets with chronic illness, digestive issues, allergies, or sensitivities.
Our consultations look at the whole picture:
-
Your pet’s medical history
-
Current diet and supplements
-
Behaviour and lifestyle
-
Physical and emotional wellbeing
We’ll help you make informed choices about feeding, supporting you whether you're using commercial diets, home-cooked meals, or raw feeding—always with science, safety, and practicality in mind.
How Herbs Can Help
Herbal medicine offers a gentle yet powerful way to support the body’s natural healing. When prescribed by a trained veterinarian, herbs can complement conventional medicine or act as a primary therapy for certain conditions.
We may suggest herbal support for issues such as:
-
Skin conditions or allergies
-
Anxiety or behavioural imbalances
-
Arthritis and joint pain
-
Hormonal imbalances
-
Digestive upset
-
Liver, kidney, or immune support
We only use veterinary-safe, quality-assured herbs and formulas, and always tailor them to your pet's species, constitution, and medical history.
What to Expect From a Consultation
A nutritional and/or herbal consultation typically lasts around 45–60 minutes, either in person or remotely. We’ll take the time to understand your pet in depth—this isn’t a one-size-fits-all service.
You’ll receive:
-
A personalised nutrition or herbal plan
-
Recommendations for supplements (if needed)
-
Guidance on transitioning diets safely
-
Ongoing support and follow-up, as needed
This service is suitable for both healthy pets (to optimise wellbeing) and those managing complex or chronic conditions.
Blending Science with Nature
At Healing Tails, we respect the power of both modern veterinary medicine and traditional healing systems. Nutritional and herbal care is never about rejecting science—it’s about expanding the toolkit we have to help your pet feel their best.
When combined with diagnostics, medications, and other treatments, natural therapies can offer deeper, longer-lasting results—especially in chronic or inflammatory conditions.
Guidance You Can Trust, Rooted in Compassion and Expertise
We understand that navigating the world of pet nutrition and natural remedies can feel overwhelming, especially with so much conflicting information online. Our role is to simplify, support, and guide—grounding every recommendation in veterinary knowledge, clinical experience, and a deep respect for your animal’s individuality.
This isn’t just about treating symptoms; it’s about fostering vitality, resilience, and balance—inside and out.
Let’s Nourish the Whole Animal
Whether your pet is coping with a health challenge or you simply want to give them the best nutritional start in life, we’re here to help. With compassion, clarity, and a love for healing, we’ll work together to create a care plan that truly honours your pet’s unique journey.
