Your trusted holistic and integrative vet in Blackburn
After experiencing the benefits of alternative medicine himself, Dr Kang became passionate about bringing these healing methods to pets. Since earning his Veterinary Acupuncture certification in 2013, he has helped many pets through a combination of Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, and Myofascial Massage.
Dr Sam Ho also acquired a Certificate in Veterinary Acupuncture in 2025 and enjoys providing the balanced Western and Eastern veterinary medicine for our beloved companions.
At Blackburn Animal Hospital, we believes in treating the whole pet, not just the symptoms.
