Our Mission:

Our mission at Paws & Claws Animal Hospital and Holistic Pet Center is to provide an integrative approach to Veterinary Medicine. We strive to offer cutting edge services with an all-natural holistic approach by blending both Western and Eastern therapies to provide functional medicine to the pets of North Texas. We are proudly the only true holistic veterinary hospital in DFW providing alternative therapies in a balanced, whole health approach because your pet deserves the very best.

Our ultimate goal is to provide high quality veterinary care and excellent customer service to pets and their parents in a warm and personal environment. We will be a resource that pet parents can trust and turn to for honest and sincere help with their pets’ healthcare needs.

We believe that every pet is unique and that the days of just going to the veterinarian for vaccines are over. We offer natural alternatives for vaccines and drugs. Our patients thrive once these toxins are removed from their bodies.

We offer the safest, most effective and environmentally friendly care for our client’s 4-legged family members. The key to pet health care is a blend of nutrition, prevention, early detection and appropriate treatment of illness and disease.

We believe that an honest and open relationship between the veterinarian, veterinary team and pet owners is pivotal to a pet’s well-being. By providing various options for care and treatment for pets, we feel we can assist pet parents in providing the highest quality of life for their pet.
