COVID 19
I am afraid that with the current Lockdown that none urgent cases cannot be seen at present. I hope this situation will soon improve.
Graham Hines Holistic Veterinary Surgeon
If you want to see an holistic vet in Merseyside, Cheshire or North Wales please contact me
I hold regular clinics at the Dog's Diner on the Wirral or can visit you in your own home or we can use a Skype/Zoom call in some circumstances with the current situation.
I will need to contact your veterinary practice for history and work in conjunction with them.
Services Offered:
While I have subdivided the modalities I use below, generally in fact I will use or recommend a combination of many or all of these.
The typical consultation will last for an hour or so and may involve a change of diet, addition of supplements as well as the use of herbs and / or homeopathic medicines as we feel most appropriate. I also use and can prescribe conventional drugs when we together feel this is appropriate.
I can advise on the use of home prepared diets raw or cooked foods which on its own can make a huge difference to any illnesses.
Home Visits
Some guardians will also prefer some treatments for their pets are performed at home, euthanasia is one such service I can offer.
Older patients with reduced mobility and anxiety problems can benefit greatly from acupuncture, herbs and homeopathy. Such a consultation will not be rushed and can last up to an hour.

I can see patients either in the Consultation Room of the Dogs Diner in Moreton Wirral, or in your own home.
I will also, at the first consultation in most cases unless you request otherwise conduct a full clinical examination and history and may suggest other changes to your animal's diet and perhaps prescribe supplements and/or herbs. You will usually need a course of 3 to 4 half hour treatments for most conditions.

But in brief the main indications for acupuncture are
Joint pain
Disc problems - Back Pain with mild paralysis
Pain and Nausea due to cancer
Pain following Surgery

I have an electro-acupuncture machine which can prove useful in some cases. As illustrated in the photos below many dogs and even cats are calm even almost sedated during the acupuncture session. But there are also some individual animals who will not tolerate the needles.
