Putting the "Whole" into Holistic Pet Care

Modern medicine as we practice and participate in it today focuses on a patient’s symptoms and treating those symptoms, which is an important part of health care.  However, it rarely addresses the underlying cause of the disease.  As a consequence, recurring health problems may result from not creating and implementing individual treatment plans for each pet’s unique healthcare needs.  We believe each patient is an induvial and should be treated as such. 

 

Hello Harmony Vet considers how a deeper understanding and investigation of the underlying cause of your pet’s symptoms are required to effectively treat and manage health issues and promote overall wellness. 

Who We Are

Our goal is to provide balanced holistic and individualized care for your pet. We do this by integrating alternative treatments honed from Traditional Eastern Medicine and more modern manual therapies like rehabilitation and spinal care, into your pet’s treatment plan.  We embrace patients as medical individuals and tailor treatment plans using evidence-based therapies and medicine. Harmony Vet by Rider Veterinary Services provides ‘w’ holistic pet care by working with your primary care veterinarian to ensure the best care possible for your pet.    Meet our doctor >

What We Do....and Don't Do

We use traditional healing methods developed thousands of years ago and are still used today through the validation of scientific study.  These trusted and gentle modalities fill the gaps left by conventional Western Medicine.  Acupuncture can provide pain relief, reduce the need or side effects for pharmaceuticals, use to prolong survival rate in cancer patients, and promote the body’s natural ability to balance and heal.  Manual therapies like massage and chiropractic adjustments also relieve pain, promote better joint function and mobility, improve circulation and immunity.  Herbal medications potentiate acupuncture and often allow for a lower dose of conventional drugs that frequency care heavy side effects.  Food Therapy uses specific whole foods to help your pet heal and promote balance and wellbeing as part of your pet’s individual treatment plan. 

 

We do not provide certain imaging diagnostics like as x-rays, endoscopy, etc. We do not administer vaccines, perform surgery, heartworm testing or other very important services that are provided by your primary veterinarian.  However, these are essential services.  They should be administered by your primary vet regularly.  Remember, it is the collaboration between adjunctive and conventional Medicine that has been shown to be optimal for overall health.  That is what holistic pet care is all about!  We actively engage with your primary veterinarian as part of your pet’s balanced, ‘w’ holistic health care team to ensure the best care possible.  

Here until the end: In home Euthanasia

When the time comes for your beloved furling to get an “upgrade”, that is help them pass peacefully, we will be there to help with the transition.  We offer In home euthanasia services that provide a peaceful, dignified passing.

I can’t express how fortunate we feel to have found Hello Harmony Vet. She provided several services right in our home, giving us hope that our senior dog can enjoy better mobility and an improved quality of life.

I can’t imagine having to load up our sweet girl, who hates car rides, who hates going to the vet, having to have her pass away on a cold table, with limited time because there are other appointments and then to drive home sobbing - this is such a blessing. Dr Rider was incredible, compassionate and I would not have had this any other way. Thank you so much for doing what you do, I cannot imagine it’s easy but we are so grateful.

Dr. Rider is a very special person. The at home euthanasia service she offers is top tier. She explains the process thoroughly before doing anything and makes you feel at ease. I went to shake her hand before she left and she swatted it away and gave me a big hug. I'll never forget that. Thank you Dr. Rider for everything you do and the amazing service you offer.

Dr Rider is kind, compassionate, experienced, loving , caring... I could go on and on. I was an emotional mess and she took the time to support and guide me through the process to help my sweet girl pass on. She soothed my anxieties and I'm forever grateful. My girl had a peaceful passing while in her bed, with her family around, her dog brother playing with a loud squeaky toy the entire time. Dr Rider took one look at my girl and knew everything she needed to know, she is the dog whisperer.Thank you Dr Rider. I appreciate you. Laska in heaven says thank you too.

I could not have asked for a more compassionate and empathetic experience for ANY family member, human or animal.We knew our pet's final moments shouldn't be in a car (which he hated) or in a strange building (which was always stressful). We wanted him put down at home for his sake, and so we could grieve privately.It's hard to write this review without tearing up (even 10 months after the event), and that's why I cannot say enough about this service. So kind, so gentle, so caring. Everything was taken care of with such thoughtfulness - a sign of experience and someone with a calling for what they do.The cost isn't insignificant, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Dr. Rider is nothing short of amazing. The courage she possesses to do what she does is astounding. She provided so much compassion, sincerity, and kindness to my baby Cooper while he was crossing over. Dr. Rider made the entire experience manageable for us at such a devastating time, especially me. She not only texted with me the night before instructing me on how to keep him comfortable, she came first thing the next morning. She did not have to go out of her way to do that but she did and it meant the world to me. I'll never forget her reassurance that we were making the right decision. She treated Coop like he was her own and I can't thank her enough. I wanted the experience to be painless and peaceful for him and she did just that. I'm crying as I write this because it's so wonderful to know there are such good people in this world. What she does day after day is hard. She is very much appreciated and highly recommend by me.

I had to put my girl Bessie down the other day. I was so distraught that I couldn't even talk on the phone to schedule the appointment. But Dr Rider came and did some kind of magic and made it a lot easier than I was expecting. Both her and Heather helped to make a make a horrible situation more tolerable. Thanks to both of you for getting me through the death of my baby girl. Tom
