Our objective is to create a soothing atmosphere where you and your pet can settle into a comfortable, peaceful surroundings for optimal treatment results.  The décor is comprised of pieces obtained in China & Tibet as well as from local artists.  (See Featuring Artistry).  The color scheme and décor is intended to facilitate letting go of the stressors of the day and promote relaxation for everyone.

Product Lines

At VPCHC, our concern is for the welfare of each and every pet.  As a result, we support and offer all-natural product lines to provide your pet(s) with non-toxic alternatives.  There are many unuseful ingredients hidden in foods, shampoos, treats and other pet products.  By utilizing products without harsh chemicals, we can improve the vitality of each pet and help them to find a healthier state of being.  At VPCHC, we are featuring several natural lines:

1. Rosie & Friends Skin Care Line

Client Education

One of our primary goals at VPCHC is to provide clients with tools to allow them to participate in improving the health of their pet.  In addition to private consultations, we will be offering various seminars starting in Fall 2008 to help educate our clients on at-home treatments.  Seminars will include: nutrition, food therapy, acupressure, massage, TTouch, Reiki and many more.  Our hope is that our clients can “Pass it Forward” to others so more can benefit from this work.

Featuring Artistry of

• Amelie Art

Amelie specializes in pet portraits and hand-painted ceramic bowls for pets.  Look closely for Dr. Pam’s kitty, Suka, as the Queen of the Feline is featured prominently in VPC.  Amelie captures the essence of each pet so vividly that the personality radiates from each portrait as if they could talk!

Throughout the office there are many examples of the wonderfully creative pet photos created by Paw Prints.  Behind our reception area is the Wall of Fame where our clients’ pictures will be rotated to display the amazing creativity of this dynamic photography company!
