Santa Barbara Veterinary Integrative Services provides specialized, supplemental care and is not a replacement for a primary veterinary clinic. We work collaboratively with your regular veterinarian or specialist to support pets with chronic, recurrent, or complex conditions through integrative therapies such as acupuncture and in-home care.
Because appointment availability is limited and many established patients require ongoing visits, new-patient openings are often 4–6 weeks out, except for quality-of-life assessments or hospice care, which we prioritize when possible.
Visits are longer than a standard vet visit, individualized, typically require the primary human caregiver to be present and available, and often last 1–2 hours, with costs generally ranging from $200–$400 depending on services and time needed.
Scheduling is flexible rather than time-blocked, and response times may vary due to patient care demands.
If you feel SBVIS may be a good fit for your pet, please reach out below with additional details about your situation, your primary veterinarian, and the level of urgency so we can best guide you on next steps.
