Clinical Philosophy

Dr. Thorne believes that chronic illness requires a shift from "curing" to "managing," prioritizing daily comfort and functional mobility. He works closely with owners to identify subtle signs of pain—such as behavioral changes or decreased activity—ensuring that treatment plans are adjusted as the pet’s needs evolve. By stabilizing the body’s internal environment, he helps extend the "active" years of pets across our specialized network.
