ABOUT
OUR CLINIC
We believe that using integrative medicine will lead to a better quality of life for you and your pet. Integrative medicine uses a combination of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine and/or Western Veterinary Medicine to tailor a treatment plan for your pet's unique individual needs.
Western Veterinary Medicine (WVM), as taught in veterinary medical schools throughout the country, has saved many lives through appropriate vaccination, diagnostics, treatment and surgery. The continued advances in Western Veterinary Medicine are miraculous when diagnosing and treating acute disease.
However, WVM's weakness is it's inability to see your pet as a whole. Western medicine is so focused on treating a specific symptom or disease that it tends to cause serious side effects or imbalances in your pet. That is where Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) shines.
Using TCVM techniques, we look at your pet’s imbalances. We then use acupuncture, herbal and food therapies to harmonize your pet’s body in order to boost weaknesses and let your pet's own body function more effectively and efficiently. Plus, TCVM therapies are generally non invasive with few side effects.
By using a combination of WVM and TCVM techniques, we use all the medical tools available to help your pet be healthy, robust and joyful.

Teleah M. Grand DVM, CVA, CTCVMP
Dr. Grand was born and raised in a little town just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. She attended Louisiana State University as a third generation Tiger following in her father's, grand-father's, and grand-mother's footsteps. She graduated from LSU in 1986 with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering.
After working in the defense industry in Fort Worth for 5 years, Dr. Grand quit her job as an engineer to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian. She graduated from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine with her D.V.M. in 1996. She worked in Kentucky and Florida, before moving back to Texas to build her own practice in McKinney. Dr. Grand opened the doors of Animal Care Center at Stonebridge Ranch in 2002.
In 2015, Dr. Grand became frustrated with the limitations of Western medicine when it came to debilitating and chronic diseases and sought to learn a more natural, non invasive way of helping her patients. She decided to become a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA) and attended classes at the Chi Institute in Reddick, Florida. At the Chi Institute, she discovered Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine and it opened an entirely new, natural and effective way of practicing veterinary medicine. She has since earned her Certification in Food Therapy, and is pursuing her Master's Degree in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine; the first ever master's degree in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine offered in the United States.
Beyond her passion in veterinary medicine, Dr Grand is the proud mother of two wonderful children; Ryan, a graduate of University of Connecticut, and Kathryn, a graduate of McKinney Boyd, currently seeking their future dreams. She enjoys cooking, reading, gardening, and cuddling on the couch with her pets.
