Common Concerns

Do any of these sound familiar?

01

We keep up the treatment, but there's little improvement.

02

I'm worried whether simply continuing the same treatment is really enough.

03

We were told "it's just his age," but I don't want to give up.

04

Before surgery or strong medication, I'd like to know the other options.

When you find yourself thinking, "Isn't there something more we could do?"
We help you make sense of where things stand and think through the options that suit your companion, together.

Our Approach

Our Approach | Why We Look for the Root Cause

The same symptom can have a different story
behind it for every animal.

That's why a single veterinarian combines Western medicine, Eastern medicine and nutrition to read each animal's unique constitution and living environment. While valuing the treatment that is genuinely needed, we think through the options that suit your companion, together.

A cure is not the only goal. Understanding your animal's condition so that your family can choose treatment with confidence is, to us, an essential part of care.

About the Director

Veterinarian ・ TCM Practitioner ・ Orthomolecular Nutrition Advisor

I combine Eastern medicine, herbal medicine, nutrition, acupuncture and manual therapy (including YNSA and Applied Kinesiology) to provide integrative care tailored to each animal's condition and living environment.

What matters most to me is not treating the illness alone, but protecting the time in which an animal can live as themselves. Rather than simply suppressing symptoms, we consider together why the trouble is happening, and — building up choices your family can feel confident about — propose the treatment that suits your companion.

Treating disease is, of course, important. But I believe that standing beside an animal and their family, supporting them so that their time together can be spent calmly, is an equally important part of a veterinarian's role.

For senior animals and chronic conditions, one meaningful goal is that they can spend their days calmly in the home they know, and meet the close of a full life in their own way.

Not the regret of "I wish I had done more," but time you can look back on and think, "I'm so glad we shared it." Creating that, together with your family, is the care OHANA Vet Services strives for.

Client Voices | In Their Own Words

An illness that testing after testing never resolved

For a long time we'd been going to the clinic for a chronic illness, and the medications had grown so numerous that when her appetite dropped, she was almost taking more medicine than food. At OHANA Vet Services, the changes happening in her body were explained to me in detail, and the causes of one problem after another finally made sense. They also took to heart how I wanted to care for her, and told me very specifically what was needed and what wasn't, what would help and what to avoid, and the points to watch from here on. Over many years I've been to several clinics, but this was the first time anyone examined her this carefully. I'm truly glad we found OHANA Vet Services. Thank you.

A visit for a pet who gets anxious at the clinic

This is a vet who answers all kinds of questions. Because everything is by appointment, my pet — who gets stressed when other animals are around — can spend the consultation calmly. Every time we talk, my worries ease, and I feel I've come to understand not just her illness but her, more than ever before.

S

Joint pain that painkillers alone couldn't fix

After years of joint pain managed with painkillers and injections, he began to have incontinence and paralysis. When I was told yet another drug would be added, I got scared and came for a consultation. First, all of his past blood test results were reviewed to pin down the cause; then, switching to herbal medicine and drugs with fewer side effects, we were able to reduce the medications he'd been on, little by little. In about two weeks the incontinence stopped, and now the wobbliness in his legs is gone too. I had truly been in despair, so seeing my boy doing well makes me so happy. I'm glad I reached out.

I

A nutritional picture that ordinary blood tests couldn't show

Things I couldn't see from the usual tests at our regular clinic — abnormalities in the body, mineral balance and so on — became clear, and with the added perspective of Eastern medicine, our recent troubles really made sense. By changing the diet and providing the care they suggested, my dog lost weight smoothly and became less irritable. It was extremely helpful.

T

The road to recovery for a pet who suddenly couldn't walk

One morning she suddenly couldn't walk, struggling to get up and collapsing again. She's a senior, and I was worried, so we came in. It was thought to be neurological, possibly involving intracranial pressure, but after the very first treatment she was able to walk home. At another clinic I think it would have turned into all kinds of tests and a pile of medications. Ever since, she's been able to enjoy her favorite walks every day. Thank you so very much.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.Can we come even if we already have a regular vet?
Yes. We welcome second opinions while you continue seeing your regular clinic. Bringing past test results and a record of current medications helps things go more smoothly.
Q.Can we consult you for a second opinion only?
Yes, of course.
You can talk to us about your current diagnosis and treatment plan, and based on your test results and history so far, we'll organize and explain things from another perspective.

If you'd like a more in-depth assessment — reviewing test data, imaging and past treatment in detail — we can also take this on as a full integrative diagnosis.

You're welcome to consult us while continuing treatment with your current primary vet, so please don't hesitate to reach out.

It depends on the type of care.

  • Eastern medicine / second opinion: first visit ¥6,600 (¥5,500 first-visit fee + ¥1,100 record registration)

Q.How is integrative medicine different from ordinary care?
While valuing Western medical testing and treatment, we combine Eastern medicine (herbs, acupuncture and more) and orthomolecular nutrition to consider the options not only from symptoms but from constitution and lifestyle. We carry out the treatment that is genuinely needed, then propose the approach that suits your companion.
