Integrative medicine combines the best of conventional medicine and complementary alternative therapies to help maintain the best quality of life for your pet. 🌿🍄‍🟫

An integrative veterinarian studies conventional veterinary medicine but also recognizes the value of holistic medicine and realizes that both complement and support animal wellness. Dr. Wagner has been devoting her efforts in recent months to studying Integrative treatment modalities and is excited to now apply that expertise to the benefit of her patients! 🐾🐶🐱👩🏼‍⚕️

Our New Integrative Medicine Consults will be geared towards geriatric care or the support of patients with terminal illnesses. 🤍

Let’s talk laser therapy! 💥

Cold Laser Therapy (or CLT) is a pain-free, non-invasive alternative treatment to a wide range of inflammatory conditions!

CLT uses light waves of a specific wavelength to pe*****te deeply into tissues and produce positive tissues changes like: pain relief, reduced inflammation and swelling, and accelerated healing.

And best of all? Dr. Wagner can bring her laser unit right to your home! This is especially helpful for pets with limited mobility due to injuries or arthritis! 🐾

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A heartfelt thank you to Tacy from Williamsport for this beautiful testimonial of our services! 🥰

Side note: Who has had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Wagner’s husband and occasional assistant Nate? Back in 2020 when we first hit the road, Nate made more regular appearances at the doc’s side.
Since becoming parents in 2022, it’s a bit more rare to see both go out on the road together. But when it does happen, Nate is an invaluable assistant and always treats each patient like his own! 🐾🩵

Today (July 5) just so happens to be their 10th wedding anniversary! 👩🏼‍❤️‍👨🏼

As a doctor practicing hospice and end-of-life medicine, the scene surrounding a being’s final moments is very sacred to me.

I’m always happy to work with pet owners to make sure their beloved pet’s passing is a scene of peace, comfort and positive energy. 🙏🏻

I have performed euthanasias in living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms, on back porches and in backyards, with one person present and with entire families present (including other pets). Pets are made comfortable on their favorite beds and blankets or at their most familiar patch of grass under a sprawling oak tree. Some owners further set the scene with memorabilia like photos, toys, flowers and candles. Favorite foods and treats often make an appearance, including cracking one last cold beer with their furry family member. 🍻💛

My heart and mind are open to any kind of accommodations you may need to bring your cherished pet’s story to an end in a way that honors the life they’ve lived. 🐶🐱🪽

Pictured: Dr. Wagner and her 10 year old GSD, Una. Last May, Una sustained an injury to her back and became paralyzed. She slowly recovered and is now able to walk, but has developed arthritis at the site of the injury. Una loves her cold laser sessions! Her comfort level and quality of life have improved significantly since adding the laser into her pain management protocol! 🐾

I think everyone has a story of that one special pet from their childhood who touched their heart and changed their life forever. For me, that’s Shyann.

I’m 17 years old in this picture, playing in the snow with my best girl. We were inseparable since I got her when I was 12. I took her along to college with me, and I’ll never forget the day I got my acceptance letter for vet school. She was the first one I told; my inspiration for becoming a veterinarian after all.

She passed away just 2 months before moving to Columbus to start my journey to become a veterinarian at Ohio State. I was devastated, but I knew that the best way to honor her memory was to commit myself to veterinary medicine. I carried her dog tag on my OSU school ID every day.

I was inspired by her to make a difference in as many animals’ lives as possible. Not just for their sake, but for all the young girls who ever loved a Shyann. 🤍🪽

Who was your best four-legged friend when you were young? I’d love to hear their stories 🩷🐾

January 2024-Family Paws is back on the road! But with some big changes! 🐾

Family Paws is now an exclusive end-of-life pet care and in-home humane euthanasia service! I’ve decided to focus solely on this beautiful and desperately needed practice in our area. 💙🏠

While we previously offered well-care and other services, we are now pivoting all of our time and efforts to pet euthanasia in your home.

In-home euthanasia for my beloved patients has become my true passion. And being able to serve my community in this way is my ultimate motivation in relaunching Family Paws as an exclusive in-home euthanasia practice. We will also be offering quality-of-life exams/consultations if your family is having difficulty determining when the best time to say goodbye might be.

Thank you for your support in the relaunch! I look forward to helping families and their cherished creatures by creating beautiful end-of-life transitions. 💙🤍

What’s better than reuniting with old friends? 🐾♥️

When Dr. Wagner first met this special guy, Blue, he had just been hit by a train!

That was almost 2 years ago.

Blue has made an amazing recovery since then.♥️

He now happily resides with his wonderful dog parents, Jen and Nathan, in Danville.

Blue is one of those pups that makes you instantly smile.☺️

Seems like he has not forgotten the Doc that made sure he made it back home.
