Mossflower Veterinary

Offering Integrative Veterinary Medicine To Achieve Optimal Wellness

Our Services

Our Approach

Dr.Gardner’s goal is to address the underlying causes of health problems and promote overall wellness through proper nutrition, exercise, and stress reduction. Holistic wellness visits help us stay ahead of disease, support aging animals, and maintain harmony. We focus on physical, emotional, and energetic health to help your animal thrive at every life stage. We primarily work with dogs, cats, and horses, but welcome inquiries about other animals in need of integrative care. We will work together with your primary care veterinarian and also your specialists to formulate an integrative plan.

Acupuncture and TCVM

Acupuncture is a time-honored modality used to restore balance, stimulate healing, and relieve pain. Veterinary acupuncture supports circulation, neurological function, digestion, and emotional well-being. With custom herbal formulations we are able to treat chronic conditions, support organ systems, and promote long-term vitality. We also believe that food is medicine and offer whole food based nutritional guidance. Diets and therapy plans are tailored to your animal’s constitution, health condition, and seasonal needs.

History and Philosophy

Mossflower Veterinary was born from a deep-rooted belief in the healing power of nature. Dr. Lara Gardner, a veterinarian with over 17 years of experience, has always been inspired by the wisdom found in the natural world. Her lifelong interest in natural therapies combined with extensive training in Western veterinary medicine naturally led her to create Mossflower.

Dr. Gardner blends conventional veterinary care with holistic approaches like acupuncture, herbal medicine, food therapy, and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine. Her mission is to support each animal’s whole health including mind, body, and spirit.

Guided by the rhythms of nature and the strength of scientific knowledge, Mossflower Veterinary is a place where animals and their people can find balance, wellness, and compassionate expertise.
