We are believers and supporters of holistic, integrative care for our Akitas.  The Bay Area has a vast supply of resources to support natural and holistic care.  Below are links to local specialty veterinary clinics, veterinary institutes, holistic veterinarians, veterinary chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, rehabilitation centers, compassionate end of life services, trainers, and local holistic pet stores.
