Initial Consultation/ Individualized Health Plan
Three Rivers offers an exclusive Individualized Health Plan which focuses on health promotion and disease prevention. After carefully reviewing your pet’s health status, an Individualized Health Plan will be specifically designed for your pet based on his/her age, breed, health and individual needs.

Comprehensive Wellness Examinations
Our Comprehensive Wellness Exams are performed on a semi-annual schedule. Regular wellness exams are critical to helping your pet live a longer, healthier life. Because dogs and cats age so much more quickly than humans, bringing your pet in for an exam only once a year is similar to you visiting your doctor every 7 years for a check-up! At your Comprehensive Wellness Exam we may recommend age-appropriate lab tests to detect possible problems in the early stages when treatments can have a higher success rate.

Customized Vaccination Schedules/ Vaccine Titer Testing
Vaccines and the over-vaccinating of our pets is a hotly debated subject. Although we at Three Rivers Holistic Veterinary Services believe that vaccination of our pets is important in preventing certain diseases that can be fatal to your pet, we also believe that annual revaccination may be excessive. A simple blood test may be recommended to measure the level of protective antibodies present in your pet. A personalized vaccination schedule for your pet will be devised using the most current data available pertaining to vaccines and their duration of protection.

Integrative Medicine
We believe that optimum health may be best achieved through a combination of good nutrition, conventional medicine and alternative therapies. Dr. Johanson will combine both modalities to utilize the most safe and effective means to help your pets get well and stay well.

Nutrition Counseling
We believe that good nutrition is the cornerstone to optimal health! First, a thorough evaluation of your pet’s current diet will be completed, then additional dietary recommendations will be made which reflect/ suit your pet’s metabolism and state of health. The best quality commercially available foods, as well as raw and home cooked diets may be discussed. Finally, nutritional supplements will be recommended based on your pet’s individual metabolism and state of health. (If your pet is currently on ANY supplements or medications, please bring them with you to your appointment!)

Allergy Management
An enormous number of pets that live in our area of the country (both dogs and cats) suffer with allergies. The most common symptoms seen by owners are itchy skin, foot licking, and/or red, itchy ears. An extensive work up including testing to identify specific allergens may be done, as well as in depth discussion of the latest therapies (both conventional and alternative) to help manage this often frustrating problem.

House calls
Home visits are available to the immediate Morristown area. Many pets (both dogs and especially cats) thoroughly enjoy receiving their veterinary care in the comfortable surroundings of their own home.

Dr. Terri Brucato

Chiropractic Care
Chiropractor Dr. Terri Brucato is available by appointment only on Thursday evenings and Monday afternoons.

Pain Management Program
Many animals suffer from painful conditions (including arthritis, cancer and several other afflictions). The use of advanced pharmaceutical therapies as well as more natural therapies are available and will be recommended based on your pets individual needs. Dr. Johanson will tailor a specific pain management protocol for your pet to make them as comfortable as possible and alleviate/manage their pain.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is very effective for treating a wide range of disorders including neurological problems (paralysis, seizures) and arthritis pain just to name a few. Treatments are usually started on a biweekly basis, and then tapered down to a maintenance schedule based on your animal’s condition and response to treatment.
