Update as of 1/6/2021: Dr Mathis broke her hand Christmas Eve and is in a cast. She is seeing patients again but has limited ability to hold rambunctious animals and no way to do muscle testing for NAET at this time. She is still trying to see animals outside the home for everyone’s Covid protection but needs a dry area. If you would like to get on the list please fill out the new client information form and she will keep you updated.
About 3000 years ago, in China, Five Element Theory was introduced. This theory is a way to look at the world, relating elemental phases to weather, seasons, health, sounds, and many other things. It is one of the diagnostic theories of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) which has been proven and tested for millennia. Dr. Mathis, our house call holistic veterinarian of My Other Vet, uses all five branches of TCVM – Acupuncture, Herbs, Tuina (massage), Food Therapy, and Qi Gong (energy work) to lead your pet back to health.
In addition to TCVM, Dr. Mathis has been doing positive reinforcement behavior work for over 30 years. Behavior work ups can be done alone or integrated with Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Her excellent Western medical training at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine allows her to interpret and integrate any on-going Western treatments your pet is receiving. Integrating Eastern and Western medicines ensures your pet is receiving the best of both worlds, so Dr. Mathis tries to work closely with your regular Western veterinarian.

Dr. Mathis is trained in many forms of alternative medicine, including Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Tuina, Food Therapy, Qi Gong, and more. These are all parts of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, and can provide significant improvement in your pet’s health and well being.
Behavior problems can disrupt any family. With over 20 years of professional training experience Dr. Mathis uses positive reinforcement and client education to seek solutions to behavior problems in both dogs and cats.
NAET was one of the first alternative therapies Dr. Mathis studied. It is based on a theory that the frequency an allergen gives off is reacting with the frequency the patient is emitting resulting in an allergic symptom (watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, wheezing, etc.). To treat, NAET uses kinesiology (muscle testing) to determine allergens based on energetic imbalances, then uses acupuncture points to rebalance the body.
ANT is Dr. Mathis’ latest training. Related to Osteopathic techniques she uses gentle techniques to realign bones, organs, tissues and vessels allowing the body access to areas that need blood. Animals seem to love the work and often fall asleep during treatments.
Sustainability is very important to us. Dr. Mathis drives a BMW Wagon that runs on Propel. We make every effort to buy organic and believe that this is healthier for everyone. Our shipping and office materials are made from recycled materials whenever possible. Take care of our planet to take care of each other.
In addition to being a DVM, Dr. Mathis is also a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA) and a Certified Veterinary Chinese Herbalist (CVCH).
