Welcome to Wellness Wednesdays!

✨ What Is Holistic Pet Care? 🐾

Holistic Veterinary Medicine looks at your pet as a whole being — body, mind, and spirit — not just a list of symptoms. 🌈

Instead of asking “What’s wrong?”, we ask “Why is this happening?” 💭
We explore your pet’s diet, lifestyle, environment, and energy to get to the root of the problem — and build a plan that supports true wellness.

🌿 Our Natural Approach
We focus on gentle, non-invasive therapies that help your pet’s body heal itself:

🍎 Fresh, Whole-Food Nutrition – Real, whole ingredients that fuel vitality and long-term health.
💊 Custom Supplements – Targeted vitamins, minerals, and natural compounds that restore balance from the inside out.
💡 Non-Invasive Pain Relief – Innovative, drug-free treatments like PBM (light therapy) and PEMF therapy to ease pain and boost recovery.

Because when we care for your pet’s whole self, we help them shine from nose to tail. 💚✨

Ready for a big-picture approach to your pet’s health that focuses on true wellness?

Welcome to TCVM Tuesdays!

🐾 Ever Heard of TCVM? Your Pet's Wellness, Holistically! 🐕

Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) is an ancient, complete system of healing that’s been used for thousands of years, and it's all about bringing your pet's body into balance. It's not just a trend - it's a tried-and-true approach!

Think of it as looking at your pet's entire life - their energy, their mood, their body signals - to find the root cause of an issue, not just treating the symptoms. It works beautifully alongside modern Western medicine!

☯️ The 4 Pillars of TCVM:
Acupuncture: Using tiny needles (or sometimes just a finger!) on specific points to help rebalance the body's energy flow, known as Qi (pronounced "chee"). It’s often used for pain, arthritis, and nerve issues.

Herbal Medicine: Using natural combinations of herbs to nourish the body and correct imbalances.

Food Therapy: Using everyday food ingredients based on their unique "energetic properties" to create a diet tailored specifically to your pet’s needs (e.g., cooling foods for a pet that runs hot).

Tui-na (Medical Massage): A system of focused massage and manipulations to promote circulation and correct imbalances.

🍚 Food Therapy Fridays: Brown Rice Bliss! 🍚

This week, we're serving up a TCVM staple you probably already have in your pantry — Brown Rice!

✨ In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, brown rice is considered Sweet in flavor and Cool in nature. That means it’s a gentle, soothing grain that's perfect for calming the body and supporting balance from the inside out.

💛 Brown rice helps to:
✔️ Cool and regulate the Spleen and Stomach
✔️ Clear Internal Heat
✔️ Nourish the Kidneys
✔️ Promote healthy digestion and energy without overheating the system

🌾 It’s especially helpful for pets with digestive imbalances, signs of Internal Heat (like inflammation or skin irritation), or those in need of a little Kidney TLC.

🥣 How to Serve It: Cooked plain (no salt or seasoning), brown rice can be added to your pet’s regular meals or used as a base for a home-cooked diet. Its mild flavor and gentle energy make it ideal for sensitive tummies!

💡 Fun Fact: In TCVM, grains like brown rice help provide grounding energy—perfect for anxious or high-energy pets who need a little help settling down.

So don’t overlook this humble grain—brown rice is more than just filler; it's functional food with purpose!

Stay tuned for more tasty TCVM tips next Friday! 🐾💚

What a week! It’s National Veterinary Technician Week, and we’re continuing our celebration by shining a spotlight on two incredible team members from who are essential to our extended client care services: Jenn and Jocelyn! 🥳

Both Jenn and Jocelyn offer fabulous virtual client care, but they also bring extensive backgrounds in Veterinary Technology to every interaction. This dual expertise ensures you get thoughtful, informed support for your pet’s TCVM care journey!

Jenn’s connection to veterinary medicine is lifelong! She grew up helping her father run his mixed animal practice in Ohio for 12 years. Though she holds a Bachelor’s in Spanish, the vet field ultimately chose her! We appreciate her passion for client education and special interests in areas like canine behavior and equine care. When she's not helping clients, Jenn enjoys hiking, gardening, and spending time with her two Goldendoodles, three cats, and one hamster!

Jocelyn brings a wonderfully diverse background to her role. She worked in her mother's large animal practice from a young age, but first got her Bachelor's degree in acting! After a time touring with a Shakespeare company, she returned to veterinary medicine, gaining experience in emergency, primary care, and oncology clinics across Texas, Virginia, and Hawaii. Now based in Northern Virginia, she shares her life with her husband, her cat Percy, and her dog Otter!

Thank you, Jenn and Jocelyn, for your expertise, dedication, and for helping us make B'ahava Veterinary Health & Wellbeing a success!

Happy National Veterinary Technician Week! We're kicking off our celebration with a huge shout-out for our amazing team member, Sarah! 🥳

We are absolutely bursting with pride to announce that Sarah recently passed the Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE)! This is a monumental achievement and officially makes her a Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT). Her dedication to furthering her education and her concerted effort in achieving this goal truly inspire us!

Sarah is a cornerstone of our practice at B'ahava Veterinary Health & Wellbeing. ❤We deeply appreciate her reliability, her consistently sweet disposition with patients and clients, and the incredible hard work she puts in every day. She is also actively pursuing her growing passion for Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), showing her commitment to providing holistic care.

When she finally puts her study books down, you might find her recharging with her favorite treats—peanut butter M&M's and peach sweet tea—or unwinding by getting lost in a good book.

Please join us in celebrating Sarah’s wonderful accomplishments! Drop a big CONGRATULATIONS in the comments below, or be sure to thank her in person for the fantastic care she provides the next time you visit the clinic! 🎉
