Holistic Housecall Veterinary Service

In-home holistic veterinary care for your pet!

Lisa Hoberg, DVM, CVA

I have practiced holistic veterinary medicine for over 30 years, first in the Boston area and then in Portland where in 1998 I established Holistic Housecall Veterinary Service.

I offer:

·    acupuncture treatment

    ·    classical homeopathy

    ·    diet evaluation & nutritional counseling

  physical examination
geriatric and hospice care

for small animal patients, mainly dogs and cats. In treating both acute and chronic conditions I use a wide range of modalities and will work with you to find the best solution for your pet's health needs.

I have practiced veterinary acupuncture since becoming certified in 1991 but the dogs and cats were fearful and often could not relax for the treatment.  Observing a colleague who did house-call practice it struck me that a true holistic practice could not occur in a traditional clinic setting but could happen more easily in the comfort of the pet's home and the idea of Holistic House-call Veterinary Service was born.

During a house-call an examination can take place on your living room floor, a table, or on my lap. I can do basic bloodwork (dogs only, not cats - sorry) and urinalysis, aspirate lumps for biopsy, clean a wound, evaluate lameness and many other things to help me diagnose and treat your pet. If your pet needs dentistry or other surgery I will refer to your conventional vet or a specialist.

I am a dedicated holistic practitioner and in most cases I can address a problem with a combination of supportive diet and gentle nutritional supplementation, acupuncture and homeopathic remedies. Of course both my conventional and holistic veterinary training allow me to evaluate your pet's health and I will combine modalities as necessary, all in the interest of your pet’s optimal health and well-being.
