Dr. Shawn helps caregivers blend the most effective conventional and alternative therapies, including acupuncture, homeopathy, and nutritional supplements. He offers tips on preventing arthritis and getting the most out of vet visits. In addition, Dr. Shawn distinguishes the approaches appropriate for cats and dogs, highlights age-specific strategies, and offers diet and exercise guidelines for the arthritic pet. The result is the most effective care for companion animals and peace of mind for the humans who love them.Dr. Shawn Messonnier is a well-known veterinarian, educator, consultant, and campaigner for animal welfare. He founded Paws and Claws Animal Hospital in Plano, Texas, after graduating from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine in 1987. It was the first office in Plano to provide specialist services for exotic pets at the time. Dr. Messonnier turned to alternative therapies after seeing how traditional therapy failed to address the proportion of cats and dogs with chronic medical conditions over time. He decided to launch the Acupuncture & Holistic Animal Health Care Center as part of his ongoing practice after seeing favorable outcomes.
Dr. Mesonnier has produced eighteen books for both pet owners and veterinarians, in addition to several papers and book chapters on a variety of themes. He is currently on the advisory board of Veterinary Forum, a highly respected international veterinary magazine, and is the founder and editor-in-chief of Exotic Pet Practice, the premier publication for clinicians treating exotic pets. He also speaks frequently at veterinary conferences both in and outside the United States.
