First Opinion Consultations – Compassionate Care for Every Pet
At Healing Tails Veterinary Clinic in Alton, we understand that your pet is part of your family.
Our First Opinion Consultations bring together modern veterinary medicine and gentle holistic therapies — giving you calm, thorough, and thoughtful care from the very first visit.
Why Choose Healing Tails?
✔️ Personalised attention – every animal is unique, and so is their care plan.
✔️ Open, honest communication – we take time to listen and explain.
✔️ Integrative approach – combining science, acupuncture, herbal and nutritional support.
✔️ Calm, comforting environment – where your pet’s emotional wellbeing matters.
✔️ Home visits available – ideal for elderly or nervous pets who prefer familiar surroundings.
What to Expect
During your first consultation, we’ll take time to:
• Listen carefully to your concerns and your pet’s story.
• Review their medical history and any previous treatments.
• Perform a gentle, complete physical examination.
• Discuss suitable options — conventional and complementary — to support long-term wellbeing.
We blend evidence-based diagnostics with an integrative perspective, looking at every aspect of your pet’s health and behaviour before suggesting next steps.
Our Integrative Philosophy
Healing Tails was founded on the belief that healing happens best when science and nature work together.
Alongside traditional veterinary diagnostics, Cristina may recommend acupuncture, herbal medicine or nutritional guidance — always tailored to your pet’s needs and with your informed consent.
No two patients are alike. Our aim is to create comfort, balance and vitality — not just to relieve symptoms, but to help your pet thrive.
