The advantages of mobile care include convenience for clients (no drive time, no waiting in a lobby or exam room, less time spent away from other activities) and for patients (no loading for transport, no major disturbance to their normal routine, no encounters with strangers). But perhaps the best benefit...
Patients can RELAX much more easily in the comfort of their own homes and barns!
The more relaxed patients are, the more effective their treatments tend to be. And nothing aids that better than being in a familiar place with familiar sounds and familiar smells!
*Familiarity is the key.*
Housecalls are a wonderful way to bring the veterinarian into that animal's circle of familiarity.
When patients have already met Dr. Davis in their familiar zone, treating them at their regular vet's office when needed (during intensive care, during or following surgeries, and even during routine visits) can bring an added calm to an otherwise stressful situation. Check with your conventional veterinarian's office to see if you can arrange a naturopathic visit with them. Dr. Davis is always happy and eager to coordinate care!
*Invite your conventional veterinarian to peruse them as well.*

How to Get Started
Tap to Contact THVC
Tap the picture here to get to the Contact Page. You can either call, or fill out the simple email form including the details of your animal's situation.
*It's that easy!*
Dr. Davis will respond as soon as she can, and begin the process of scheduling, collecting pertinent records from the other veterinarians providing care, and gathering your own observations to form a whole picture of your animal's history. (Please note that no medical advice can be provided without an in-person consultation and physical exam.) An estimate for the consultation, including any travel fees, will be provided prior to the first visit.
Sometimes patients have seen multiple veterinarians...primary, specialists, emergency, etc. And sometimes not all the records are forthcoming prior to consultation. While having all the records ahead of time is extremely helpful, not having them isn't a dealbreaker. In such cases, a tentative treatment plan amenable to change will be formulated. Any recommended labwork or imaging will be referred back to your primary veterinarian, as well as any conventional drug treatments. Of course, having good diagnostics done ahead of consultation is even better!
Things to Include in Your Email:
- Animal's name, age, and breed.
- Current complaints/diagnoses.
- Current medications/supplements list.
- Address where consultation will occur.
- Your phone number.

Happy Customers
Below are just a few testimonials from past and current clients. (You'll notice that some clients refer to Dr. Davis while others refer to Dr. Chattigre. She remarried and moved not long ago, and still maintains Oregon licensure.)
Dr. Davis has been working with our Corgi, Zelda. for about 3 months. Zelda loves coming to the clinic and runs in to see Dr. Davis. The care we have gotten is wonderful and Zelda is holding her own.

After just ONE acupuncture session, his limp completely disappeared and hasn’t returned. In addition to acupuncture, Dr. Chattigre incorporates veterinary orthopedic manipulation (gentle spine and limb adjustments) at every visit. This combination has been key in improving Fenway’s mobility and overall comfort.

Dr. Chattigre has been a true blessing for my 14.5 year old dog, Molly, who has been dealing with Cushing's disease and renal failure. Her holistic approach to care has made an incredible difference in my dog's quality of life.

Within 2 or 3 visits with Dr. Davis, Mabel was running, jumping, and walking up stairs again. After a year of pain, the transformation was truly amazing.

I first took Mylee to Dr. Chattigre for her seasonal allergies about 5-6 years ago. She was wearing a cone constantly to keep her from eating herself. Nothing the conventional vets gave her worked. Acupuncture and supplements did. An added benefit was that her fear of vets disappeared.

Herbie not only walked again and played with my boxers but he lived to be 12 years old with his regular tune-ups. My boxers also have seen Dr. Chattigre regularly. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her over the last 20 years.

Seeing Dr. Chattigre for Chinese herbs and acupuncture alongside western medicine has done a fabulous job keeping bloodwork in check, and health maintenance between visits. Not to mention the help with IVDD pain, and the fact dogs can't tell us where they hurt! I would highly recommend this integrative approach.

Most of the year driving conditions in the general Teton region are good, but there are days when the roads just aren't safe. If that occurs, Dr. Davis will reschedule your housecall at no additional charge. In similar fashion, when it comes to emergencies (sometimes life happens!) a one-time free reschedule will be offered. Repeat reschedules will require an additional fee.
Once the consultation and exam have been completed, Dr. Davis will formulate a treatment plan and, if it has already been scheduled, provide the first treatment at that visit. It's important to note that alternative methods tend to work more gradually than conventional ones. That's part of being a more gentle approach! So you may not see much change after just one visit. Depending on the condition being treated, results can be immediate or may take a month or more.
Follow-up visits, if needed, tend to produce sequentially better and longer-lasting results with each one. Treatment intervals are extended as improvement continues, with some patients (particularly older ones) requiring ongoing occasional tune-ups.
How to Prepare for the Visit:
- Keep patient in a space suitable for exam and treatment.
- Provide a familiar blanket or bed for the patient.
- Have appropriate snacks available as reward!
What to Expect after Treatment:
As with humans, some animals post-treatment may experience a temporary aggravation of symptoms which should only last 24-48 hours if they occur at all. Most patients do not experience this, but if they do it's usually a mild increase in pre-existing discomfort.
- If your arthritic pet feels like a million bucks after treatment, please prevent over-exertion.
- Gradual improvement typically occurs over the course of a few to several treatments.
