Holistic Veterinary Medicine
When you bring your pet to Best Friends Veterinary Hospital Crossville, Dr. Karcher will perform a holistic exam to assess your pet’s health and gain a better understanding of their individual needs. In addition to practicing conventional veterinary medicine, Dr. Karcher is also certified in dog and cat acupuncture, herbal medicine and food therapy through the Chi Veterinary Institute in Reddick, FL. She will perform a holistic exam to determine which part of your pet’s body is unbalanced or requires treatment. She will take your pet’s medical history including illnesses, food preferences, lifestyle, and temperature preferences. The results of this exam help Dr. Karcher decide whether or not your pet might benefit from cat and dog acupuncture or other holistic medicine treatment.
