About Us
At Wholistic Paws Veterinary Services, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive, compassionate care for your pets. Founded by Dr. Krisi Erwin and her husband Jeremy, our mission is to treat the whole pet and the whole family, not just the symptoms of disease. We believe in combining conventional medicine with Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine and rehabilitation techniques to ensure the best possible quality of life for your pets throughout all life stages.
Our team is committed to working closely with you and your veterinarian to provide additional care that your regular veterinarian may not be able to offer. We offer a range of services including nutritional counseling, nursing care, and treatments such as subcutaneous fluid administration. Our goal is to support you and your pet through every stage of life, including the end-of-life journey, with emotional support and guidance.
We specialize in caring for dogs, cats, and pocket pets like rabbits, ferrets, and guinea pigs. Our services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each pet and family, ensuring that every interaction is personalized and caring. We are available by appointment only, with flexible scheduling to accommodate your family's convenience.
Our team includes Dr. Krisi Erwin, a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist, Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist, and Certified Veterinary Pain Practitioner. She is a regular contributor to the Virginia Dog Magazine and has been featured in articles on pet hospice and palliative care. Dr. Erwin is also committed to community involvement, having participated in various community service projects and educational initiatives.
We understand the strong human-animal bond and recognize that many pets and owners need more support during end-of-life issues. To address this, Dr. Erwin has completed the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement's training workshop for pet loss counselors. Our commitment to compassionate care extends beyond medical treatment, offering emotional support and guidance throughout the pet’s end-of-life journey and beyond.
At Wholistic Paws, we strive to provide an enriching, loving, and special end-of-life experience for your pet. We believe in making every moment count and ensuring that your pet receives the best possible care in the comfort and dignity of their own home. If you believe that your pet could benefit from our services, we invite you to contact us today to learn more about how we can support you and your beloved companion.
