Dr. Moira’s Bio

After graduation from veterinary college in 1987, I first worked in Vancouver, B.C. for 4 years and then moved to Kelowna in 1990. I purchased a practice there, started a family, bought a farm, bought some llamas, horses, goats, chickens, and life was good.  In or around 1997, my practice philosophy took quite a turn to one that encompassed a more holistic bent. It started with learning more about vaccinations for children, and the possibility that they weren’t all they were cracked up to be, and it spread to the management of my patients.

So I sold the Rutland Pet Hospital in 1998, took a Professional  Course in Veterinary Homeopathy and started Pawsitive Veterinary Care in 2000. I must say that this style of practice, the holistic approach, is far more satisfying as a veterinarian than a strictly conventional approach to health and disease. I can honestly say, subjectively, that those individuals who follow our recommendations for vaccines, diets, and choice of treatments for their pets ailments have some of the healthiest pets I have ever seen on the whole. It is wonderful to see!

I would love to be able to play a role in the education process of every pet owner around the globe and with this web site, that can be accomplished. Feel free to invite others to the site and to link to this site from your web site if it is a good fit.

Pawsitively yours,

Dr. Moira
