Dr. Beth Hirsch, DVM, CVA, AVCA certified chiropractic practitioner

Veterinarian
Dr. Beth Hirsch is a veterinarian certified in animal chiropractic (AVCA) and acupuncture (CVA) who is very passionate about offering holistic treatment options for her patients. She has been an equine veterinarian for over 10 years. Since introducing small animal and equine chiropractic services to her practice 4 years ago, she has now chosen to focus solely on holistic veterinary medicine, with an emphasis on hands-on chiropractic care. Her graduate education started with an Equine Science/Pre-veterinary Medicine Bachelor of Science degree at Otterbein College in Ohio. She graduated from veterinary school at The Ohio State University in 2008. She then moved to New Jersey in 2009 after completion of a year-long internship at a lameness/sports horse practice in Illinois, finished a certification in acupuncture through the Chi Institute in 2009, and in 2014 began her chiropractic journey with Animal Chiropractic Education Source in Texas. She completed her coursework and became AVCA certified in 2015. She then moved to New Jersey and worked in a general ambulatory equine/camelid practice, eventually purchasing it. She added canine integrative veterinary services following her training and AVCA chiropractic certification. Dr.Hirsch has been continually amazed by the power of the body to heal itself with some support and help especially via chiropractic. During this time she realized her heart was not in the western veterinary medicine approach and she chose to solely focus on holistic veterinary care. She is excited to have joined our team and is enjoying working with clients on creating a management plan to optimize health and wellness through a holistic approach. The tools she reaches for most frequently for her patients include chiropractic, functional nail trimming, acupuncture, and other Chinese modalities, animalEO essential oils, and diet. BEMER therapy is another modality she is excited to be able to offer. She currently resides in New Jersey with her fiance Ray, 3 ragdoll cats, a French Bulldog, a couple of Australian Whites tree frogs and numerous fish.

Sierra Welter is one of the biggest animal supporters you will ever meet. She's had a passion for animals since she was a little girl, making deep spiritual connections with them and the natural world around her. Currently attending Sussex County Community College for Biology, she has been working for various traditional animal hospitals and local pet shelters before coming to HPC. She diligently works every day to improve herself and her bond with animals so she may one day become a holistic veterinarian or a marine biologist. When she isn't dedicating her time fostering socially challenged/ pregnant/nursing animals, she is spending her free time on long hikes with her 3 dogs: Myla, Kailani and Bodhi or relaxing watching cartoons with her 2 cats, Nova and Magnolia.

Thirteen

House Cat
Our furry little friend, Thirteen, was added to our HPC family not too long ago but she has won everyone’s hearts in this short amount of time. Her favorite activities include napping behind the front desk computer, having her back scratched by anyone who will give her attention and eating cat-man-doo flakes from the treat jar. We are very happy to have her here with us!

We adopted an older dog about 3 years ago. He had Lyme disease and an autoimmune blood disorder. After about a year of taking daily steroids (to raise his red blood cell count) and frequently getting ill (viruses, etc.), we decided to bring our guy to Holistic Pet Care. I am a fan of alternative medicine, so this was a no-brainer. However, the level of service and care surpassed expectations. The little guy has so much energy and has not gotten sick in the 2 years we have been bringing him to Holistic Pet Care! They were able to wean him off the steroids and he has had higher blood cell counts than ever before. I even notice improvements in his gait and mobility after the chiropractic adjustments. I whole-heartedly believe that the little guy is happier now that he is healthier. As dog lovers, we could not ask for anything more!

We needed to find a vet to come to our home to euthanize our sweet kitty who finally succumbed to liver cancer. Our own vet wasn’t doing house calls and Emmitt would get VERY stressed at the vet so that wasn’t an option. Dr. Buchoff came to us last night after work to compassionately end Emmitt’s pain. He was kind and gentle and made an extremely difficult situation much easier. We plan to start using Holistic Pet Care going forward all due to the way we were treated and the way he treated our beloved Emmitt. Thank you Dr. B for everything. We won’t forget how you helped us so quickly and with such grace.

Finn had a wonderful visit today with Dr Mini. She has helped him so much with his ear issues. She is kind, caring and informative. I can’t recommend either her or the practice more highly!

Great, friendly and caring staff. Take personal time to spend with our fur babies and us as the parents. Won’t overmedicate our babies since they are holistic. Highly recommended!
