Meet our wonderful doctors:
Darla Rewers, DVM
There is a tangible link between the symptoms we see in animals and the people they live with. At her Seattle clinic, Dr. Rewers not only treats animals, but also helps their caretakers discover their part in the wellness process.
A licensed veterinarian in Washington and California, Dr. Darla Rewers is certified in veterinary acupuncture and has been practicing alternative therapies on domestic and exotic species since 2002. She is a 2002 graduate of University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine, where she was accepted as one of only ten out-of-state students amongst thousands of applicants. She earned her acupuncture certifications from the Chi Institute (Reddick, Florida with Dr. Huisheng Xie) and the American Institute of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (Seattle, WA with Dr. Richard Panzer).
After practicing at very busy clinics in Florida, Dr. Rewers moved to the Greater Puget Sound Area in 2005. She moved Ancient Arts Holistic Veterinary Services to its current location in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle in July 2008.
Darla uses acupuncture, herbs, massage, nutrition, and other gentle healing modalities to create an overall natural treatment plan for your pet. She also teaches Qi Gong meditation and art intentionality workshops to humans to help themselves and their pets.
Schedule an appointment to have your pet evaluated for acupuncture or other holistic wellness options. If you are in the Seattle area, visit the center to view Dr. Rewers' artwork, which is on display and for sale at Ancient Arts. If you have any questions or would like further information on Ancient Arts and its services, please call or schedule an appointment today.

Hank Snelgrove, DVM (Select Weekends)
|
Dr. Snelgrove has been in the veterinary profession for over 40 years, practicing conventional Western medicine almost all of that time. In the last 8 years, however, because Western medicine offered no cures for many problems, he became interested in what Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine could teach him. TCVM, with acupuncture, herbal medications, food therapy, and Tui-Na massage, has offered some alternatives.
After traveling through China 10 times and attending a veterinary college in Lanzhou, China, he took courses with the Chi Institute in Florida and became accredited in acupuncture in 2009. He attended further courses in TCVM, attaining his Certificate of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine Practitioner in 2012. He has since attended TCVM continuing education courses in Florida, California, and Spain. Dr. Snelgrove now practices an integrative approach to veterinary medicine using both Eastern and Western techniques. When patients come to him, he reflexively examines them in both modalities to try to ascertain the heart of their disease. |
