Holistic Veterinary Care in Slocan Valley
The Roving Veterinarian was founded by Dr. Shuli Krakauer, a licensed veterinarian with over 25 years of experience in both conventional and holistic animal care. Since graduating from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1997, Dr. Krakauer has pursued advanced certifications in veterinary acupuncture and homeopathy, completing programs with the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society and the Vancouver Academy of Homeopathy. Our practice specializes in providing house call services for small animals in the Slocan Valley, combining homeopathic treatments, acupuncture, and diagnostics to reduce stress for pets and owners. We collaborate with conventional veterinary clinics for advanced diagnostics like radiology and ultrasound while maintaining a focus on holistic wellness. Our approach emphasizes personalized care through telemedicine follow-ups and tailored treatment plans that address both physical and emotional health.With decades of clinical experience and ongoing education in alternative therapies, we aim to bridge traditional and holistic veterinary medicine. Our team brings expertise in treating chronic conditions, anxiety, and age-related issues through gentle, non-invasive methods. We serve clients in Slocan Valley and maintain periodic availability for Vancouver residents requiring ongoing homeopathic care. Our commitment to animal welfare extends beyond clinical practice through volunteer work in community health initiatives. The practice recently relocated to a home office setting designed to create a low-stress environment for both pets and their caretakers.
