I can't thank Dr. Matt & his team enough for the care they provided over the years. We believe our dog had a much better quality of life with regular treatments he received. Dr. Matt is always open in discussing concerns or answering questions & his team is very helpful as well. We felt welcomed at each visit & appreciate the kindness & patience they showed us. Thank you!!

I highly recommend Dr. Matt and his wonderful staff! Our wild Labrador kept throwing his back out and at times pinching nerves. Our regular vet found nothing wrong in the xrays and sent us home with pain killers....which worked somewhat but the core issue was still not addressed. That is when we saw Dr. Matt and he was able to clearly point out how out of wack our dogs back was. He is now getting adjustments and on a spinal protocol. We are so grateful for his services in our community! I have heard several good things from others who use him as well.

Dr. Matt and the ladies have done amazing things for my dog. We truly appreciate all the care he has given to him. I would highly recommend seeing him. We drive close to an hour to our visits.

The last several years my Golden Retriever Molly has been a patient of Dr.Matt, I can not say enough about the benefits of the care she received. After each treatment of acupuncture (which amazed me that he could get she to lay down and stay still) her energy improved. Chiropractic care was another win as we could see the difference in how she walked after treatment. Molly is now a 14 year old dog who is doing well I do not believe this would be true if not for the care she received.The office staff is outstanding, friendly and always kind to your pet.

Saved my dog’s life!One year ago, Ghost was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The vet recommended I put him down. He was only six. My heart was broken.Within a week, he couldn’t keep his balance, figure out how to chew his food, run after the ball or even keep his mouth shut. He was sick from the vertigo, scared and I’m sure in pain.My second opinion confirmed that there was some sort of cancer happening on the left side of his brain. We couldn’t be sure but a $10,000 surgery at MSU was out of the question.We were giving him high doses of steroids so he could at least stand up. After hours of googling I found Integrative Vet Services near Howell. Dr. Matt recommended a natural diet for Ghost. I immediately switched his (and Mojos) food. Darwin’s Natural Food, cooked chicken breast, broccoli/cauliflower, tumeric and mushroom powder. Very slowly weaning him off of his steroids. It wasn’t easy and it wasn’t cheap but within a matter of days he started to improve and within months I got my my dog back.It’s been a year and Ghost is 99% improved. He had so much energy. My 13 year old Chihuahua, Mojo, has lost 2 pounds within a year (which is like 100 lbs in people lbs) He used to get pain in his knees and couldn’t jump up the stairs which is so rare now. He is also cured from his diet.I am so grateful to Dr. Matt and the team at Integrative Veterinarian Services. Darwins all natural products, Ask Arielle supplements and my very caring partner who preps dog food on a weekly basis. @darwinspetfood

I am forever grateful for finding this place! One year ago my dog was diagnosed with IMHA and was hospitalized at MSU for 9 nights. The meds he was put on were not helping and ended up giving him a GI bleed, resulting in another 2 nights in the hospital. Upon coming home, my dog still would not eat and continued vomiting. I found Dr. Matt and he literally saved my dog's life! He was able to help me get him off his medication and find a supplement protocol and correct diet to help my dog, Zeus. Within days my dog was beginning to eat again and regain energy! I am happy to say after only about a month with Dr. Matt and my dog was IMHA free! It has now been one year since his diagnosis and still IMHA has never returned or any other health issues! My dog's hct level dropped as low as 17% in the hospital one year ago and today tested at 54%! Proper nutrition SAVED my dog! I highly recommend Integrative Veterinary Services!! Thank you all at IVS for the work you do every day!!

Dr. Matt and his staff are absolutely the best. Sadly, we lost our sweet Cody in February this year, at the age of 15. During the times when we brought Cody to IVS, we knew he would receive outstanding care. This included several minor injuries that required cold laser therapy treatment and chiropractic adjustments (when other vets could only offer pain meds). We had excellent results with these treatments. In the end stages of his life, Cody was diagnosed with kidney failure. Dr. Matt helped us analyze his diet, choose supplements, and ensure that Cody was receiving the best nutrition and care and we went through this challenging time together, doing everything we could for him. I truly appreciate Dr. Matt and each and every staff member at IVS. Always kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. I have recommended IVS to many dog owners I know, and I do not do that lightly! Thank you, Dr. Matt and staff.

Amazing group of people at this clinic. The receptionist actually took her time to answer all my amateur dog owner questions that she could which is hard to come by these days. The assistant (sorry I missed her name?) that helped with our pup in the room was so helpful and kind and just good energy. Sorry my pup slobbered you! Dr. Matt is a true doctor because his care focuses more on living healthy and preventing illness instead of waiting till disease sets in and trying to fix it after. Great holistic clinic! Excited I found them and have them for my new pup.

I called to make an appointment. Stated they would email me the new patient forms. I didn't not get an email after a few hours, so called to verify my email. They had not sent it yet and would get to it soon. It's now 2 weeks, and no new patient paperwork from them.

Our retired Military Working Dog “Dio R782” had a pretty rough go of combat life. Today he began his new path toward feeling better by having his first chiropractic appointment. As soon as he got home he did a “down dog” stretch for the first time in his civilian life...Dr Matt got his spine adjusted & it must have been quite a relief; he acts so happy!

Our Dog Diem has severe anxiety issues with going to the vet. Dr Matt and his team have been so patient with her. She barks alot but they are always so calm and never make us feel like she is a burden. They always know when she has arrived because believe me she lets them know. She does well with her treatments both chiropractic and laser. The care and compassion they show not only their patients but the owners is great. I would highly recommend them.

I have nothing but good things to say about the receptionist Char and Dr. Matt. I have been going there for about 3 years now and always receive a welcoming greeting when I walk in and excellent care for my pets from Dr. Matt. Would highly recommend.

We are new to IVS. Our senior boy, Cezanne Blue is being treated with supplements and a few of the procedures. We are also looking into the diet program of Raw plus the laser Acupuncture. Cezanne Means the world to us and we are placing our trust with Dr. Matt - hoping things for our boy improve. I want to say that we are most grateful for the opportunity to call or to leave e mail with questions and concerns. Having a Vet that responds and listens means a great deal to us. Thank you Dr. Matt and Staff at IVS!
