Welcome to the site of Good Harbor Holistic Veterinary Care, formally known as Best Friends Pet Wellness, providing holistic veterinary medicine for pets since 2007. The practice relocated in September 2015 to northwest Michigan from Ann Arbor, and is pleased to offer holistic services to the greater Traverse City region. Dr. Melling provides both in-home veterinary care as well as consultations by appointment in her office north of Cedar.
The primary focus is maintaining and restoring your pet's health through the use of homeopathy, nutrition, and education on natural pet care. There is no need to drive your dog or cat to a clinic; simply relax in the comfort of your own home.
The approach to healing is called homeopathy, which uses small doses of natural remedies to return an injured or ill patient to health. Dr. Lisa Melling received her veterinary degree in 2004 and has practiced homeopathy since 2008. She is a Certified Veterinary Homeopath and a faculty instructor with the Pitcairn Institute of Veterinary Homeopathy. Let her show you how improving your pet's nutrition and homeopathic treatment can be used in everything from injuries to skin allergies and cancer, without the need for long-term medications or the risks of side effects.

Accepting New PatientsDr. Melling is currently accepting new clients who are interested in holistic veterinary care for their pets, providing holistic veterinary care throughout the greater Traverse City area for dogs, cats and other small animals, including chickens. Appointment options include consultations in her office north of Cedar, or in-home veterinary care.
In-home veterinary exams are especially useful for cats who do not like to travel, and for dogs that tend to be shy, anxious, or fear aggressive within the veterinary clinic. In-home veterinary care is also an invaluable service for terminally ill patients and those with impaired mobility. Our services are easier on pet parents who are home bound, elderly or physically impaired. |
