Welcome To Sierra Animal Wellness Center
Your Veterinarian in Colfax, CA
We’re so happy you found us! Established in 1997 in Gold Run, CA, we were one of the first truly holistic veterinary clinics to serve the Sierra Foothills and beyond. Now located in Colfax, California, we practice integrative medicine and specialize in treating small animals with Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM). We use acupuncture and Chinese herbal formulas as well as western herbs and medicine to treat the whole animal.
We also have a strong interest in animal behavior and use flower essences and herbs to treat animals whose behavior issues originate from an imbalance. Our mission is to provide a balanced and gentle approach to your pet’s healthcare.

Many people are starting to explore other forms of medicine, other than traditional medicine. This is also true in veterinary medicine. Here at Sierra Animal Wellness Center, we are excited to be able to offer holistic and traditional medicine to help our patients heal!

Wellness Exams
At Sierra Animal Wellness Center, we truly believe that regular examinations are vital to your pets’ overall health. They allow Dr. Peggy to evaluate your pets’ overall well-being, while learning more about you and your pets. No one knows your furry friend better than you do. Dr. Peggy will want to know about any changes you’ve observed.

Vaccines
Dr. Jean Dodds’ and Dr. Ronald Schultz’s research on vaccinations and vaccine titers has revolutionized the view of vaccines in the veterinary world. Their research has been instrumental in changing the AVMA recommendations from annual vaccination for core vaccines to vaccination once every three years.
