Petersfield Integrated Vets

Petersfield Integrated Vets is an independent veterinary practice (established 2015) focused on integrated veterinary medicine—combining conventional care with acupuncture and laser-based therapies. Reviews consistently describe longer, calmer consultations and a strong emphasis on reducing pet stress: one owner notes standard appointments are 20 minutes (compared with 10 minutes elsewhere), and multiple reviews mention pets being given time to settle rather than being rushed or pressured. Owners also describe the clinic being used for chronic pain/mobility cases (e.g., arthritis, back pain) and for support alongside conventional treatment, including a second-opinion scenario where surgery was avoided after a change in management.

Concrete examples from reviews include: twice-weekly acupuncture and laser therapy for feline arthritis, laser acupuncture used for an older dog with a complicated dental/nasal infection scenario, and a “full MoT” visit that included a calm blood test with treats and handling that kept dogs relaxed.

I’ve just transferred to this practise and they were absolutely incredible. We had a bad experience at our previous vets so it was so refreshing to see my cat made to feel at ease and not pressured at any point. They gave her time to settle which made a huge difference and the vet was so kind to her. Highly recommend!

We've been taking our cat, Bonita to Petersfield Integrated Vets for a month now. Shes been having twice weekly Acupuncture and Laser therapy sessions for her chronic arthritis. We've not only found that Bonita is responding well from the therapy but she actually enjoys visiting when she's there!! Unfortunately for us Mar and the team are around 30 mins away but they are well worth the visit! Would give 6 stars if I could! Thank you!

Always a calm, holistic and welcoming appointment. Both Penny and Reggie love visiting and were given full MoT today. Calm, no fuss blood test for both and they had plenty of cuddles and a few treats. Both left with waggy tails and no doubt will drag us back in to see Mar and then team. Thank you xx

I discovered Mar and the team when our dog had terrible bladder stones, and our conventional vet wanted to operate to remove them. I sought a second opinion from them, and through changing our dogs diet to raw and with the help of regular acupuncture, the bladder stones dissolved over 3 months, and the operation was no longer needed. I will always be thankful to them for this!

I have just had my first visit to Petersfield Integrated vets and what a fabulous experience that was, for both me and my dog. From the lovely receptionist Sharon, who came out to find us when we got lost, to the lovely vet Dr Alonso and the veterinary nurse ( sorry didn’t get your name) we were welcomed like friends. Both me and Kenzi felt very relaxed and I came away feeling confident in my holistic approach to treating my dog going forward. Thank you so much to all of you and we’ll look forward to seeing you again in the future.

We took our 16 year old teacup chihuahua to see Mar here. Our tiny girl was suffering from a badly infected tooth socket and the infection had gone up into her nasal cavity. The irritation was causing such bad sneezing that she would often end up being deprived of oxygen (hypoxia) resulting in her having fits. It was terrifying to witness. Antibiotics and anti inflammatory meds from our usual vet didn’t seem to be helping and she was deteriorating. The improvement in her condition after the first appointment here - where she had laser acupuncture - was astounding. She also had some tenderness in her lumbar spine and this responded really well to the treatment, too. All three of our dogs are now registered here and we can’t recommend them highly enough. Each standard appointment is 20 minutes, unlike the usual 10 minute slots you get at other vets. Superb service and excellent, experienced and very friendly staff.

Mar is a wonderful and compassionate vet - our rescue dog had back issues and after 3 acupuncture appts, she is without pain or discomfort. Would highly recommend this integrated veterinary practice - if only more vets could be like Mar!
