Dr. McKinstry's Holistic Veterinary Clinic

She is great!! Simple 1 person practice, but she takes her time and tries to solve the issue, not put a bandaid on it. She uses alit of all natural remedies and herbs. I loved our experience. My Gia was diagnosed with SARDS and Lymphoma, and the doc was able to address and suggest without hesitation. Highly recommend!!!

Dr. McKinstry is one of our favorite people. She quite literally saved the life of my beloved Boxer, Basil, when he was fighting a serious bone infection in 2017 (after knee surgery gone-wrong at another vet). Her application of hybrid Eastern/Western treatments brought fast improvement in my Basil - eventually healing to 100% without additional trauma to his system by way of harsh drugs or more surgeries. Now Basil is almost 11! He still enjoys regular acupuncture for his senior aches. Dr. M. is one of Basil's most trusted friends, which should tell you all you need to know about her character and her healing gifts. Dr. McKinstry is a brilliant and skilled veterinarian, who practices medicine in its purest and most patient-centered format. Her farm is peaceful and inviting. She is an intuitive, empathic, attentive doctor who offers treatments and personalized care that won't be available at a mainstream vet. Her knowledge of Eastern medicine is something to behold. (Seriously, bring a pen and notebook.) Every time we visit for an appointment, Dr. McKinstry has something new to share about what she's learned, or what she's studying - and how it might help us with what we're working on. Her pursuit of knowledge inspires me. In addition to my animals' wellness, I feel that I have grown as a person by getting to know Dr. McKinstry. She's taught me how to gently listen and respond to the needs of my animals. I've learned about the importance of food, environment, my own attitude, and how the right mix of these things will maximize overall health and longevity potential in my pets. When it came time to say goodbye to our special friend (a Russian Donskoy cat named Father Craig), Dr. McKinstry honored his time on earth with dignity and quiet, kind compassion. His departure was calm, and personal. We could not have asked for a better experience for such a sad visit. I have an appointment tonight for my other Boxer, a seven year old female named Bullet. We can't wait because we know the acupuncture treatment is going to bring such welcomed relief to her aches and pains. Thank you, Dr. McKinstry. You truly are a light in this world, we don't know what we'd do without your many gifts and incredible care!

We have taken our dog Maxx to Dr Mckinstry for the past 8 years. She is the true animal healer, very knowledgeable about western, Chinese and natural medicine. Maxx is a happy and healthy dog. It is a true privilege to have a gifted Veterinary like Dr Mckinstry locally..

She has a small but robust practice in a beautiful setting. Doesn't want to just medicate your animal to correct the problem, instead she looks for the root of the problem and fixes it systemically.
