I have. I try to balance holistic medicine with traditional medicine. It's tough sometimes finding vets that will accomodate that; luckily I've found one.

Since my dogs compete in sports, I take them for chiropratic and acupunture every few months.

It really depends on what I'm treating them for as to what medicine I'll use. For example, last year Zoe had kidney problems. Tested and diagnosed by a regular vet. All he suggested was a perscription canned dog food. Went to the hollistic vet who worked with me on her diet, added supplements and I now give her sub Q fluids and her numbers dropped from WAY above normal to the normal range.

I've found that I have to do my own research and question the vets a lot more than I use to.
