IN-OFFICE APPOINTMENTS:
To schedule an appointment, scroll down this page to find the link to my online booking program. That will show you everything that is available. If you need a special time that is not available, please email me and I will try to accommodate you.
The initial appointment for all new clients lasts two hours, and includes a thorough review of your pet's medical records, a complete physical exam, education about feeding a species-appropriate diet, individualized nutritional support with supplements and herbs, and homeopathic prescribing for your pet. A written treatment plan and handouts are provided as well.
The appointments start with gathering information and taking a complete health history. During this time, your pet will typically be free to investigate my office and familiarize themselves with the surroundings. This gives your dog or cat time to relax and lowers their stress level. I don't have technicians, so you may be required to help hold your pet for the exam.
Please let your dog have the opportunity to visit the outdoor restroom before coming in for the appointment.
Brief updates and questions that arise soon after the initial appointment about the treatment plan or your pet's progress are included in the initial cost of the service.
Please mail, email, or bring with you your pet's complete medical records (not just the most recent, must include doctor's notes and lab test results) and the ingredient list of the food you are feeding. I do not have a fax machine. Emailing or mailing records to me in advance of the appointment will save time during the appointment so that we can do more important things.
If you are feeding a raw or homemade diet, please bring a list of what you feed your pet in an average week.
Bring any medications and/or supplements you are using, as well as any treats you give your pet.
And bring your dog or cat! Make sure you have had enough caffeine so you can pay attention, and don't bring the kids (they will be really bored). Extra pets are welcome!
Follow up appointments are necessary to ensure that your pet is improving as desired. Email updates between appointments may also be requested.
Initial Consultation for All New Clients (2 hours): $250
Physical exam (1 hour): $125
Follow up exam (1 hour): $125
A deposit of $65 is required for all appointments when scheduling through the link. This amount will be applied to your balance at the end of the appointment. A 48 hour cancellation notice is required to receive a refund.
Supplements and homeopathic remedies usually cost $12-$60, and I provide a separate shopping list for items available online or at local health food stores.
Payment may be made by cash, check, credit/debit card, PayPal, or Venmo.
Annual physical exams are necessary in order to maintain active patient status. An active Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship is necessary for prescriptions and telephone or email advice. Holistic Veterinary Care is not equipped to handle emergencies; therefore you should have an emergency animal hospital in mind before a crisis happens.
If your appointment is delayed and you want to take action, here's what you can do in the meantime:
1) Transition your pet to a raw food diet:

More resources can be found on the "favorites" page.
2) Start your pet on some basic supplements.

I may be booked out a few weeks. If your pet needs an appointment sooner than the next available time, please let me know and I will try to fit you in.
Phone and Zoom Consultations
Initial consult: $250 (phone call lasts approximately 1 - 2 hours.)
Follow up: $125 (phone call lasts approximately 45 minutes)
Please send your pet's medical records via mail or email. I do not have a fax machine. In addition, a detailed health history written by the owner is often helpful. Please include the ingredient list of the foods you are feeding, any medications or supplements that you are using, and a list of treats. Please email your pet's medical records at least 24 hours prior to the conversation so that I have something intelligent to say when we talk.
Telephone/Zoom consultations are scheduled via the link above.
A deposit of $65 is required for all appointments when scheduling through the link. This amount will be applied to your balance at the end of the appointment. A 48 hour cancellation notice is required to receive a refund.
A detailed treatment plan will be provided via email with either type of consultation. Reasonable continuation of the initial conversation is included, especially as questions or concerns may arise as a natural treatment plan is initiated.
Payment for the phone/zoom appointment will be taken at the end of the appointment.
Email consultations are also available. Please email me at drlevy@holistic-vet-care.com for further information.
