How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Healing Traditions Holistic Veterinary Clinic

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

I took my dog Sugar for neck pain. I have to say that this has been one of the greatest vet experiences we ever had. Sugar is very anxious at the vet, even when on anxiety medication. She was a little stressed at the beginning, but the Dr. and TA knew how to gain her trust with lots of treats, love, and patience. The Dr. explained every possible treatment we could pursue and never tried to impose anything. We did a chiropractic session and a laser session, which Sugar loved, and felt very refreshed after the treatment. I will definitely recommend healing traditions to any pet parents.

I want to thank Healing Traditions for everything they have done for my 3 little ones but I don’t even know where to begin. A simple thank you just doesn’t cut it and it isn’t just one or two people I want to thank, it’s everyone. Dr Wanda and Dr Tony are our heros. I have lost track of the countless issues they have helped my 10 year old Toby to overcome and all the problems they have helped my 9 month old Tilly with thus far. I will be eternally grateful for their support and kindness which is always there, over and above what they do medically to help my babies. My middle child, Tazzy, recently had the opportunity to see Dr Laura. I couldn’t believe her thoroughness and all the knowledge she took the time to convey to me. Healing Tradition’s vets have ALL gone over and above the call of duty for my family. I absolutely adore them and I leave the clinic everytime feeling so grateful to have them caring for my three. The therapy department also knows us well and I am so grateful for the never ending gentleness and patience BJ, Autumn and Lexie have shown my boys during their sessions. And my goodness, I take my hat off to Healing Tradition’s amazing nurses / tech staff. What a hard working and energetic team they are. They don’t just support the pets, they support the owners as well. Last but not least, the amazing receptionists and Dr Wanda’s incredible assistant, Alison, deserve a big thank you. They are the clinic’s “first impressions” and gosh they have never dropped the ball with me. They are perfect in the way they deal with clients - they are never short or unfriendly, they are thorough and on top of things, and gosh they always manage to smile through my Tazzy’s annoying scream barking or Toby’s whining even though they are probably cringing inside. 😂 I thank everyone at the clinic for everything they have done and continue to do for us. It’s hard enough when your baby is ill, and it makes things so much easier knowing that you literally have a small army of the most caring people behind you 100%. ❤️

I have been going to HTVC for about 6 months now, and have had all positive experiences. The front end staff have all been very helpful and kind. Both vets I have seen have taken the time to really hear my concerns and answer all of my questions, and have been great with all my pets! Dr. Susie especially has been really excellent, and I really appreciate all her help & advice to keep my pets happy and healthy!

All I can say is the staff...all of them from reception to techs and veterinarians are awesome! They truly treat you like family and give you options for treatment rather than quoting you a huge price, they will recommend different options. They are understanding, compassionate and know their business. I feel my fur babies are in the best hands when I'm in to the office. I would recommend them to anyone!

Dr. Wanda is exactly what I was looking for in a vet. My dog is 11 and I have never taken him in because there has never been a vet whom I thought would be aligned with my more holistic/natural approach to medicine. The discussion I had with Allison beforehand was clear and informative and I knew what to expect from my visit. When I arrived at the clinic I was warmly welcomed by Michelle and others and we were brought into the exam room promptly. I felt heard and seen by Dr. Wanda and I could tell she was extremely experienced and skilled at her career. Thank you, Healing Traditions! You have renewed my faith in the veterinary industry
