Acupuncture/Laser Therapy

“It is an incredible opportunity for me to treat an animal who can no longer tolerate pain meds and has reached the limitations of conventional medicine, to then see them living enthusiastically and thriving again after acupuncture and laser treatments.”
Dr. Christine Schneider

Hospice/Palliative Care

“It is extremely difficult when an owner receives the news that their pet has a terminal illness. I feel blessed to be able to help people find something to do to help their animal find comfort and peace during this difficult time. Instead of helplessness and despair, I see the animals and their human family find a space of comfort together.”
Dr. Christine Schneider

Testimonials

“I have been involved with many hospice/palliative care cases over the years, including privately with my own animals, sitting with hundreds of animals over the last 30 years in our sanctuary as their lifetimes with us came to an end, and as a professional animal communicator helping thousands of people with end of life issues. Dr. Christine brings a depth of compassion and an ability to be totally present with an animal on their journey. No matter how many times we go through this process together, I am always honored to have her veterinary skills and hospice training, but also her heart and compassion by my side when we make these end of life decisions and sit with these animals as they pass. Her skill and compassion come together to help an animal and the people who love that animal be present in a circle of love at such an important moment.”
Dawn Hayman, Animal Communicator/Co-founder Spring Farm CARES
“Dr. Christine Schneider has cared for my horse, dogs and cats since 2017. When I use the word “cared’, I do so on purpose. Dr. Christine not only provided my animals with competent veterinary care, but also with deep compassion for each animal as well as for me – the caretaker/pet parent. Many of my animals’ health and wellbeing has been enhanced by Dr. Christine’s knowledge and skills in acupuncture and laser treatments. When for some of my animals there was nothing more that could be done to cure them, Dr. Christine, due to her extensive knowledge in palliative care, helped them to live their final days in comfort, and to then transition peacefully and without fear.”
