    Holistically improve both the quality and longevity of pets’ lives

    As pet owners seek ways to improve both the quality and longevity of their pets’ lives, many are turning to holistic treatments.

    Jeffrey Feinman,BA, VMD, CVH, has had an extraordinary journey from top-tier scientific training to developing his holistic veterinary expertise. He earned both molecular biology and veterinary degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and conducted research in Penn’s School of Medicine Department of Biochemistry and veterinary school Department of Medical Genetics. After graduating, Dr. Jeff was selected for a competitive internship in clinical medicine at the Angell Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston. 

    Soon into his practice, however, he was alarmed by increasing rates of allergy, cancer and other degenerative diseases and frustrated with the results of conventional therapy therapies. This led him to study holistic veterinary practices, to which he applied the principles of molecular biology training to develop more effective treatments. . 

    Currently, Dr. Jeff is focused on helping his patients and clients maintain and regain wellness by integrating his knowledge and experience into a unified method called the Vitality and Balance System. His practice integrates the latest, safest diagnostic techniques and treatments with holistic modalities.

    Dr. Jeff can these areas of great interest to people and pets:

    • How holistic veterinary care can transform your pet’s health

    • The power of trust and natural healing: building resilience for your pet

    • Harnessing compassion and the human bond to promote healing

    • Foods to feed your pet and foods to avoid

    • Perspectives on pet vaccinations, pet care, pet health, etc..

    • Learning from animals through Indigenous wisdom

    Dr. Jeff is also the founder of Holistic Actions!, a resource hub for optimizing pets’ quality of life. This month the organization hosted the Sacred Paws Summit, which featured luminaries in the field of holistic health for animals sharing positive, practical actions and knowledge.
