Clinic Overview

Homeopathic Veterinary Clinic Johnstown is a homeopathy-focused practice run by Michael Clancy, who is described on the clinic website as a Veterinary Surgeon and Registered Homeopath. The clinic is set up for owners looking for homeopathic support for animals (and also offers homeopathy for people, per the website), with reviews repeatedly describing long, detailed consultations and tailored remedy/herb plans rather than conventional prescription-led treatment.

Concrete examples from recent reviews include: homeopathic remedies for a pony with sweet itch since birth; a “sequence of homeopathic remedies” for an older dog with a cough after a heart murmur diagnosis elsewhere; herbs prescribed for a dog with arthritis (with the owner reporting improvement after 8 weeks); and homeopathic support for chronic diarrhoea after “failed treatments from several vets.” One reviewer also reports being helped while abroad, and another mentions follow-up check-ins after treatment for a horse.
