Holistic Veterinary Care for Your Beloved Pets in Vermont

Whole-Pet Care, Rooted in Vermont

At The Holistic Vet of Vermont, we believe true healing starts with trust, compassion, and connection. Based in Richmond, and serving communities across Northern and Central Vermont, we offer a unique approach to health and healing—blending Eastern and Western veterinary medicine— tailored to your pet’s needs and core character.

We believe health care is a team effort. We take the time to listen—to you and to your pet, so that we can come up with the optimal plan for them together. Whether it includes acupuncture, Chinese herbal therapy, nutrition counseling, lifestyle changes, integrated Western medicine or a blend of all of the above, it needs to feel right.

Whether you’re looking for a holistic approach to wellness care, a fresh perspective for treating a disease pattern, or gentle end-of-life care at home, we’re here to guide and support you as if your pet was our own.

Because veterinary care shouldn’t feel clinical. It should feel like care.

Contact

  • Dr. Colleen is a very important person in my life. She has provided professional and loving care for our dogs over the past 4 years. She listens with generosity and has helped me articulate care goals for our senior dog. Over time, Dr. Colleen gently reminded me of those goals and most recently supported me when we peacefully said good bye to our Bella in our home. Not only is Dr. Colleen a highly competent veterinarian, she is caring, nonjudgmental, responsive, and collaborative. I trust her explicitly and deeply appreciate the wisdom and care she shared our canine family over the years.

  • Dr. Colleen has helped our family tremendously! She has provided us with a holistic care plan for our 6 year old cat who got a cancer diagnosis in February. The plan includes acupuncture herbs and a new raw food diet. In combination with chemo and Dr Colleen our cat has done almost a 180 in her overall health and energy. She is playful and loving as she always has been. Our kitty is in the best hands and we are so grateful to Colleen to step in to help our unique situation.

  • Dr. Colleen provided excellent alternative care and acupuncture for our 3 pets in the past 10 years. Her compassion patience and guidance were invaluable when making the decision to let go of our pets when it was time. Choosing to euthanize our pets at home was the best possible option for us at a very difficult time and we wouldn't do it any other way.

  • My sweet older dog has a history of leg and back issues and was showing signs of cognitive decline, but is now back to running with his dog friends, playing with toys, and sleeping through the night. After many years of ups and downs with his health, I never would have expected him to be thriving at this age. He has responded very well to acupuncture and Dr. Flaherty has been so helpful in providing guidance to adapt to my dog's needs as he ages.
