Functional Veterinary Medicine

John B. Smith

John B. Smith, DVM, owner of The Dog Doctor, performs veterinarian medicine in a functional way by trying to find the cause of the issue instead of just treating the systems at a pet’s first visit, Smith starts with a physical exam, where the puppy is examined from the tip of their nose to the tip of their tail, and any questions or concerns are answered.

Smith, a veterinarian for 48 years, has taken a functional medicine approach for the last 18 years. He says, “It is important to approach veterinary medicine by looking at the whole of the patient and treating naturally, when possible.”
