Chinese Nutrition Therapy and Herbs

Improve the overall health of your pet.

Chinese nutrition therapy and herbs are integral parts of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TVCM).

TVCM practitioners have used herbs and food to treat ailments and improve pets’ overall health for many years, and we often recommend these alternative treatment modalities in combination with Western veterinary medicine to treat a variety of ailments and provide integrated care for our patients. 

With our assistance, you can use herbal supplements and dietary changes to ward off disease and improve your beloved companion’s overall health. We are thrilled to offer Chinese nutrition therapy and herbs in Davison and would be honored to be entrusted with your companion’s care.

Chinese Nutrition Therapy

Food is more than just what your pet eats. It’s also medicine. In TVCM, certain foods are believed to increase energy, resolve stagnation, and warm or cool the body. Nutrition is the foundation of life, and here at Davison Vet Integrated Care, we believe in ensuring that our patients consume healthy diets that meet their nutritional needs. With our help, you can uncover whether your furry friend needs a cool or warm diet, and we’ll work with you to ensure you know exactly what to feed your cat or dog.

Chinese Herbs

Chinese herbal medicine is intended to treat disorders naturally rather than relying on medications. This protects pets from the potential dangers and side effects of pharmaceutical products while providing the symptom relief they need. We often combine herbs with other treatment modalities, like acupuncture, nutrition therapy, and laser therapy.

Pet Chinese Herbal Medicine FAQs

Chinese nutrition therapy is based on the principles of TCVM, which views food not just as fuel but as a form of medicine. Rather than focusing solely on calories or ingredients, this approach evaluates a food’s energetic properties—like whether it “warms” or “cools” the body—to help restore balance and treat underlying imbalances or health issues.

Many health conditions in cats and dogs can benefit from TCVM, including arthritis, skin allergies, digestive issues, chronic kidney disease, behavioral changes, immune imbalances, and even recovery from surgery or trauma. Our integrated approach helps us determine whether herbs or nutrition therapy—or both—can support your pet’s healing and long-term wellness.

Yes, when prescribed by a trained veterinary professional. We carefully select high-quality herbs and consider your pet’s specific needs. Before starting, we always assess your pet’s overall health to ensure the formula will work harmoniously with any existing medications or treatments.

Most pets adjust well to herbal therapies, especially when the herbs are given in powder or capsule form mixed into food. We provide practical tips and support to make administration as easy and stress-free as possible for you and your pet.
