Dr. Shaw has been practicing veterinary medicine for over thirty-two years. He has treated the gamut of animals including racehorses, cattle, sheep, goats, ostriches, dogs, cats, birds, wildlife and ?pocket pets?. His interest in being a veterinarian arose at an early age from caring for his brood of farm animals. Since graduation, he has continued to expand his knowledge by attending numerous continuing education courses. During the first part of his career he attended classes on internal medicine, advanced dentistry and orthopedic surgical techniques. For the past fifteen years he has expanded his education into holistic medicine. He finished the professional veterinary homeopathy course in 2000. He became a certified veterinary acupuncturist in 2004. Since then he has taken many classes on advanced acupuncture techniques, Chinese herbal medicine and food therapy. He feels the blending of western veterinary and eastern veterinary medicine creates a balance for optimum patient care. Dr. Shaw?s family includes his wife Kristin, twin sons Nathan and Douglas, Annie the cat and the newest addition, Biggs, a Welsh Corgi.
