An Integrative Approach to Pet
Wellness in Crozet
Located conveniently for pet owners in Crozet, Charlottesville,
and surrounding communities
AWC serves Crozet, Charlottesville, and the surrounding areas by bridging the gap between conventional Traditional Veterinary Services and effective alternative treatments.
Our Philosophy: Holistic care is not a replacement for medical care, but a powerful complement. By integrating both, we can often achieve better outcomes for difficult chronic conditions, particularly in Geriatric Care and chronic pain management.
Key Holistic Modalities Offered
We offer several proven holistic and complementary therapies, each administered by certified professionals.
Acupuncture for Dogs and Cats
- Acupuncture for Pets: The insertion of fine needles into specific points to stimulate the nervous system, release endorphins, increase blood flow, and relieve pain.
- Conditions Treated: Highly effective for managing dog arthritis pain, musculoskeletal injuries, neurological conditions, digestive issues, and promoting surgical recovery.
- Non-Invasive and Safe: Acupuncture is generally well-tolerated by pets and is a powerful tool against chronic pain, often reducing the need for pharmaceutical intervention.
Manual and Physical Therapies
- Chiropractic Services: Gentle manual adjustments to restore proper alignment and movement in the spine and joints, improving nervous system function and mobility.
- Massage Therapy: Therapeutic massage techniques to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.
- K Laser Therapy: A powerful form of therapeutic light used to reduce pain and inflammation, and accelerate healing at the cellular level.
Nutritional and Herbal Medicine for Pets
The AWC holistic program places a strong emphasis on diet and natural
support to restore balance from within
- Nutritional Consults and Food Therapy: Personalized dietary plans to support specific medical conditions, manage weight, and optimize overall wellness.
- Herbal Therapies: The use of plant-based remedies to support organ function, manage inflammation, and address behavior or anxiety issues.

- Nikki Duncan
My hedgehog was very sick and they were the only ones who would see him the next day. Dr. Raab and her assistant were so thorough and knowledgeable I felt very comfortable. They treated him so well and you could genuinely see their love for all animals. I can't thank them enough!
- KJ
Lovely clean pleasant facility, and everyone on the staff is friendly and helpful. Dr. Raab is wonderful and was great with our skittish bunny! There are very few small animal vets in the area, so we were grateful to find Dr. Raab.
- Barbara Tomlin
Dr. Raab is the only vet who is able to handle my African Gray parrot without causing her stress. She is gentle, kind, and patient. Autumn had her nails and beak trimmed and is a happy bird! I always recommend Animal Wellness Center to anyone looking for a vet.
