Paula Medler, DVM
Integrative Medicine
The owner and founder of Integrative Veterinary Medicine is Dr.
Paula Medler.
Dr. Medler graduated from the University of Missouri, College of
Veterinary Medicine in 1980. She practiced exclusively Western
Veterinary Medicine from 1980 to 1991. In 1991, she was first
introduced to the art and science of acupuncture. She knew then that
there was so much more to learn, and that there were other
treatments available for animals that weren't utilized in her
exclusively Western Veterinary practice.
She started her quest to learn more about integrative modalities
and continues to do so. That quest has included multiple trips to
China and certifications in: Acupuncture from the International
Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS), Chinese Herbal Therapy both
from IVAS and the New Mexico Chinese Herbal Course, Animal
Chiropractic from the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA),
Animal Tui-Na from the Chi Institute, Applied Kinesiology from Dr.
Carl DeStefano, and Master of Medical Qigong from the International
Institute of Medical Qigong (IIMQ).
Dr. Medler owned and operated a full-service AAHA accredited
(American Animal Hospital Association) veterinary hospital from 1984
to 2006. In 2006 she sold that Western Veterinary Medical Hospital
to concentrate wholly on her integrative medicine skills. Her dream
is to bring Integrative Veterinary Medicine to those who previously
have not had those modalities available. She believes that all
animals should have the benefit of this type of medicine. This may
be accomplished either in-person or by consultation via phone or
email. If you want this type of medicine for any and all of your
animal companions, large or small, we are here to help. Please visit
