About Dr. Jeff Feinman’s holistic veterinary practice in Connecticut USA

Dr. Jeff offers a limited number of private consultations at his whole-istic vet practice in Connecticut. Dr. Jeff offers expert guidance in both preventive care and the management of chronic dis-eases using a whole-istic approach based in a scientific framework including homeopathy.

How Dr. Jeff works

In this integrative vet practice, symptoms are seen as valuable clues for healing. Rather than suppressing them with conventional drugs or vaccines, symptoms are used as signs that help him promote vitality and balance. Dr. Jeff uses homeopathic remedies, lifestyle optimization, and clinical nutrition to support your pet’s natural vitality and recovery. Fresh, unprocessed food (not necessarily raw) is also recommended to aid in healing.

Holistic preventative care

Preventive care is most effective when started early, ideally with puppies or kittens. However, effective treatment is still possible for older pets with existing conditions. Be prepared for potentially extended treatment periods, ranging from months to years, depending on the severity and history of the condition.

Holistic treatment of chronic conditions

For chronic and degenerative issues, diagnostic testing may be recommended to help guide treatment including for:

  • Recurrent infections

  • Arthritis

  • Allergies

  • Cancer

  • Kidney dis-ease

  • Heart dis-ease

  • Cushing’s

  • Hypo and hyperthyroidism

The duration of treatment varies based on how long the health challenge has existed, the condition’s severity and past treatments, with acute issues often resolving in weeks and lifelong health challenges potentially taking years.

Continued use of conventional vet medicines

During any integrative vet treatment, it’s important to gradually reduce the use of conventional drugs such as anti-biotics and steroids to allow your pet’s body to heal naturally. If new symptoms arise or previous conditions resurface, contact Dr. Jeff for guidance rather than using past medications.
