About Dr. Robin

Dr. Robin Soifer, DVM, CVA

Welcome!

Thank you for inquiring about my practice. Congratulations to you for opening your mind and heart to a different way of healing and medicine for your beloved animals.

My Mission

I am here to provide you and your pet(s) with an alternative view and way of veterinary care that looks at the whole animal including physical, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual aspects. I use a variety of modalities for healing and health but am primarily doing phone consultations, in-person acupuncture or homeopathy along with nutrition, herbs, supplements, light therapy, tuning fork, Reiki, and Alpha Stim microcurrent therapy to help bring a body back into balance. I am a fully trained veterinarian, but I prefer that your allopathic veterinarian perform most diagnostic tests and surgical procedures, allowing me to focus more on the natural treatments, but am happy to work in partnership with your regular veterinarian if necessary. My current practice is conducted either at your home or barn or telemedicine (phone or video calls). I thoroughly enjoy educating my clients about how to help support and heal your animal companions naturally and support wellness.

About

My Background

I came into veterinary medicine later in life, but have always had a passion for animals since I was a little girl but my life took a more circuitous path to get to this point, where I can help animals heal themselves with your assistance as well. I started off as a competitive snowboarder that loved her first dog, Salad, so much and craved to learn everything about caring for her. I eventually started a luxury pet boarding facility in Crested Butte, CO where my interest in holistic medicine increased and where I also became a mother to the most amazing daughter. Fast forward to losing my 2 best friends (1 to cancer and 1 to a tick-borne illness) within a 2-month period as an Army wife in Tennessee. My grief turned into a drive to learn more to helping animals heal. Watching a veterinarian on a show called Dog Town (filmed at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary) sparked the idea that it wasn’t too late to fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a veterinarian. After 10 years of school (undergraduate and vet school), I finally graduated from Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine in May 2020 right in the middle of a pandemic. Four brutal years of vet school as a single mother, dealing with a serious illness while in vet school, and a global pandemic were why I decided to take a break after graduation to spend time with my daughter and get my veterinary acupuncture certification (CVA) through Chi University in Florida before embarking on my veterinary career. I moved in the summer of 2021 with my daughter and 2 dogs to the Flathead Valley in Montana after vet school to live closer to the mountains and lakes we cherish so much. I just finished a Veterinary Homeopathy Foundations course through VHI in September of 2023 and am dedicated to lifelong learning of that modality as well.

WHO ARE MY CLIENTS?

People like you who love their animals like any other human family member. I realize the tremendous commitment you are making to improve the health of your animals and I join you in that commitment for it is only as a team that we can obtain the best results. Because of the nature of natural healing. Healing from chronic diseases require more than just one treatment or supplement, etc. I ask that you be open to changing other aspects of their health including offering more fresh food, giving no or less vaccinations, trying to use no or less toxic chemicals or medications with your pets, and working on other aspects of their environment and quality of life. Patience is also a very valuable trait. If your pet’s condition has existed for months to years, true and lasting healing will take quite a bit of time. I believe our bodies, as well as our pet’s bodies, have the capacity to heal but we just need to help that process along. I am honored to partner with any pet guardian who wants to help their four-legged beings have a better quality of life.
