Integrative Veterinary Center of Richmond

"We have a 14-15 year old basset beagle mix who has mostly gone deaf. Our dog suffered vestibular syndrome twice and seemed unwell, anxious & confused beyond the typical aging. She had been taking an arthritis medication, Galliprant, for a year and Gabapentin for 3 months without noticeable improvement. A friend suggested IVC for acupuncture. If holistic care sounds expensive, know that I found IVC prices reasonable and I am a self-employed small business owner. My dog has a comfortable experience at IVC. Even when she is taken to the back for x-rays or nail trims she returns with just minor signs of stress & shedding. My dog has received acupuncture, a growth removal, spinal adjustment, CBD oil and two supplements for balance and digestive health. She does not take gabapentin anymore. She is going on longer walks and sometimes breaks into a run, more alert, getting senior citizen “zoomies” here and there, she’s able to finish her food, and grabbing treats. Of course she’s still aging and has low days & anxious times, however she has more comfort and peace through care at IVC."

"My experiences with Dr. Lord and the staff over the last approximate two years have been outstanding. They have guided the recovery of my dog from a bout of urinary incontinence and from gastric inflammatory disease. I'm pleased with them in every way and recommend them without reservation."

"Excellent standard of care at integrative veterinary center! Compassionate doctors with years of experience, very personal care given to all my pets. Traditional Western medicine as well as acupuncture, laser treatments, advice on diet and exercise. It’s easy to get an appointment, and I always get a follow-up call to see how pet is doing after a visit. The facility is super clean, easy to park, there are friendly and caring vet techs and receptionists. Highly recommend!"

"Dr Lord and her staff are exceptional and knowledgeable. IVC offers many services unavailable at other veterinary offices and does not push unnecessary vaccines or treatments and gives options through diet and gentle healing modalities.They are reasonably priced in comparison to other vets in Richmond."

"Couldn’t be happier with the staff here! My dog has feared vets for as long as I can remember and the vets and techs are both so patient with her. She even goes up and asks for pets now! Not to mention - my dog has had an undiagnosed autoimmune disease for years and Dr. Jones diagnosed her the FIRST appointment. I couldn’t be more grateful for the care they have shown my Nala the past few months and I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy vet!"
