Birgit is a fully trained and highly experienced vet who is now dedicated to a holistic approach in the treatment of animals. As a patient, your pet will be assessed and treated as a whole being and not just a symptom. In the stress free, relaxed environment of her practice in Groombridge, their general health, character, nutrition and lifestyle are taken into account before a treatment programme is decided. The gentle, minimally invasive treatments of homeopathy, acupuncture and herbal medicine are used in addition to conventional approaches when considered necessary. Whilst many of the treatments are less expensive than pharmaceutical drugs, most insurance companies will cover the cost of holistic treatment when undertaken by a qualified practitioner.Dr Birgit Ahlemeyer
