Anima - wholistic health & rehab for horses - Horses are our primary focus, but dogs, cats, and other animals are welcome, too. We offer integrative, individualized health care for those who want a wholistic, more natural approach to their animal's health and well-being. Medical, performance, and behavioral problems are all within our scope. Dr. King also works with riders to improve the harmony between horse and rider. We are committed to providing you with: * a better relationship with your animal * a better understanding of your animal's needs * a better ability to meet your animal's needs | |||||||
Where are we located? We are based in the Seattle area. Dr. King is licensed to practice in Washington and Oregon, and is willing to travel anywhere within these states. Do we offer phone consultations? Yes, on a case-by-case basis. Some problems cannot be adequately dealt with by phone and must be attended by a veterinarian who can examine the animal and provide whatever treatment is appropriate. In many instances, though, there is much we can accomplish by phone, particularly if you already have a primary-care veterinarian. Call or e-mail to see if a phone consultation is appropriate for your situation. What about e-mail consultations? Sorry, no. However, you are welcome to send us an e-mail to schedule an appointment or enquire further about our services. What do we charge? Consultation and treatment are billed at an hourly rate of $150/hr. The trip charge for farm/barn and home visits is based on drive time and is shared among clients whenever possible. Please call or e-mail for an estimate. Payment is due at the time of service. Payment may be made by cash, check, or by Visa or Mastercard. Click on Contact (above, left) for business hours and contact information. | |||||||
What tools do we use? We take a wholistic approach to diagnosis and treatment which considers the whole animal - body, mind, and spirit. The tools we primarily use are these: * food - from basic dietary recommendations to nutritional therapy; as Hippocrates said,"Let thy food be thy medicine, and thy medicine thy food." * herbal therapy - using plants as food and medicine * herbal essences - click on Herbal Products (above, left) for a detailed explanation * homeopathy - classical homeopathy, adapted for animals * homotoxicology - a modern synthesis of science and classical homeopathy * spinal mobilization - gentle spinal therapy using osteopathic priniples * manual & movement therapies - various other forms of body work and movement re-education * medical intuitive evaluation - focusing one's intuition on identifying or better understanding the problem * hands-on energy work - vibrational medicine at its most personal * distance healing - focusing one's intent for the patient's recovery, regardless of where the patient is at the time (prayer is a good example) ...and of course good basic management, including: * hoof care * dental care * saddle fit * exercise * preventive health care (parasite control, vaccination, etc.). | |||||||
