Vital Equine Holistic Veterinary Medicine

Vital Equine in Calabasas treats horses using an integrative approach that combines classical veterinary medicine with acupuncture, chiropractic care, herbal medicine, laser therapy, nutritional therapy, and natural balance dentistry. Dr. Rhiannon Fenton, a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist and Certified Veterinary Food Therapist, employs muscle testing to identify underlying imbalances and develops customized treatment plans tailored to each horse's individual needs rather than applying standard protocols. The practice addresses conditions including lameness, colic, laminitis, hormonal issues, behavioral problems, and chronic conditions by examining the full context of a horse's environment, diet, and lifestyle. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 10 AM–5 PM and Friday 10 AM–2 PM; no emergency services are available.
