Dr. Jean is now offering integrative health and wellness “cat coaching” by Zoom or phone. Dr. Jean is a feline veterinarian with more than 30 years of experience in holistic and conventional medicine.

Many decades of working with catsJean Hofve, DVM allows me to see the world from their perspective. I design wellness plans that work with the unique feline nature. I promise to be fair, logical, and honest. Every cat doesn’t need every test or every supplement–they are cats, and we work with that in mind! I promise to be fair, logical, and honest. If I feel that I can’t help your cat, I’ll say so. If I know of free resources that will work for you without a consultation, I’ll tell you that, too!

Which Wellness Consultation Is Right for You and Your Cat?

Brief Consultation:

For a 30-minute virtual conversation about a single issue, it’s easiest to go through Vetster.com. This is a limited but less costly option. We will have 30 minutes to discuss your concerns. Often we can address more than one issue, but Vetster strictly limits the time. Follow-up is available. (Because I travel and am often out of internet range I may not always be able to accommodate requested appointment times.)

Fulll Wellness Consultation includes:

  • My pre-consultation review of your cat’s intake form and veterinary records (if any)
  • Evaluation and discussion of your cat’s health
  • Suggested nutritional support and other therapies to help with current issues and support your cat’s overall health
  • Follow-up as needed
