We will do our best for your pet
Founded in 2013 by Iris Ege, A.P.Vet Ltd pursue gentle and effective treatments that consider the impact on patients, their families & the environment. We believe that animal health should be looked at holistically as well as through the eyes of a conventional vet.
Iris and her team offer a selection of holistic therapies which, depending on the need of the animal or owner preference, can work independently or alongside conventional medicines. We feel that working alongside your vet and other therapists to devise an individual holistic health plan often offers the best possible outcome.
Working on a referral basis from conventional vets for clinical conditions we have, however, broadened our approach to include ‘Holistic Health’ (treating the animal as a whole, as well as looking at medical history and existing symptoms). We believe nutrition, exercise, informed vaccination choices and supplements all have a role to play.
We also offer a range of tests and supplements without the need of referral. For instance, we feel that testing for worms through faecal egg counts first, allows owners to make informed decisions for their pet. We aim to increase awareness.
We treat a variety of animal species and a wide range of conditions. The holistic health approach offers young animals the best start in life, while also appealing to owners of ailing/ageing pets and animals with injuries and sports/performance related issues. We have access to input from professionals in many disciplines and outlined below is a list of holistic therapies offered by A.P.Vet Ltd.

Ozzy had his Gold Bead Implants, a permanent acupuncture procedure, at just 4 years and 3 months old. While most of our patients are older, this treatment is particularly valuable for younger dogs.
At his post-op check, Ozzy was already moving so much better, and we were delighted to receive a lovely update from his owners.
“Ozzy is much happier. He’s enjoying his walks and is altogether a different dog. We are so pleased we took the decision to go ahead. It has been the best thing we could have done to relieve his pain and make him more comfortable. He is no longer on pain medication. Iris has been a godsend in helping our dog live his best life and we are very grateful.” (Michelle & Gary, Ozzy’s Owners)
