About Vet

Hello! I am a general practitioner with a history of owning a successful practice For over 30 years with experience with Dogs, Cats and Horses. I retired as US Army Veterinarian and public health expert with the rank of Colonel after 36 years. I am certified in Veterinary Acupuncture and Chiropractic care. I use these skills to approach most conditions from a Holistic/ Functional Medicine Perspective. I look forward to getting to know you and your pet! This telemedicine platform is excellent for answering your animal care issues For those clients in Michigan I can also prescribe medications. Vetster has a very comprehensive availability of Veterinary specific medications, as well as being able to prescribe most general use medications through local pharmacies.
Veterinary medicine is currently in crisis, and many clinics are overwhelmed. You may have experienced long wait times at your local emergency room clinic, or that your primary care veterinarian cannot see you for several weeks. This platform allows me to help you address your concerns until you can schedule an appointment with your primary care veterinarian. It can also be used to manage long term, chronic conditions. While I cannot give vaccines or take diagnostic samples over the web, I can work with you and your veterinary clinic of choice to help you manage chronic conditions. These include internal medicine, behavioral, nutritional, skin, and other issues. I have a special interest and passion in Holistic Nutrition, herbal medicine and supplements When you schedule an appointment with me, feel free to upload your pet's pertinent medical history, vaccine history, and any useful videos or photos that you feel will help us during the appointment. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! 35 years in general small animal practice Retired US Army

Dr Gavin provided the hope and support I was looking for on short notice. Love that he was able to meet with me on a Saturday evening. I was able to feel at ease after learning how to better support my min pin girl with her new diagnosis of kidney disease. I was looking for a holistic approach for a healthy diet, plus herb supplements, and he delivered recommendations on both! I am so delighted to have access to this kind of care via telehealth appointments. I can sleep better knowing I have a plan in motion to keep my girl comfortable while extending her life for as long as possible thru natural methods! Would highly recommend Dr Gavin! 10 STARS**********

We spoke for 45 min. I gave him x rays and clinical reports. Dr. Gavin gave me more time than any other vet we ever used. More detail oriented views. He had so much knowledge about every subject more so than the chemical based treatment pills we are accustomed to. It was 100% worth it and I would advise anybody to do the same.
