Our special guest’s background:
Born and raised in Germany, Dr. Bettina “Tina” Herter studied and received her veterinary
medicine degree in Berlin. Dr. Herter has worked in small and large animal practices and a small
animal emergency hospital in Germany and England prior to obtaining her U.S. veterinary
license in 2007. She also gained experience in India at a charity dedicated to improving the lives
of injured stray animals and to rehabilitating wildlife. It was natural to gravitate toward working
in a holistic practice, and learning about various holistic healing modalities has become her
passion.
She has studied homeopathic medicine, is trained in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine at
the Chi Institute and the College of Integrative Veterinary Therapy. Nutrition is also a big
interest of hers, which she continues to study at Standard Process. Currently she is a TA/DVM at
Creature Comfort Veterinary Holistic Center.
She and her husband and their young daughter live with their two dogs, two one-eyed cats, and
ten chickens.
Kevin Selby, pet sitter. Kevin’s Pet Sitting has been in business since 2003 and has been taking
care of a variety of animals. Service areas covered include Alamo, Danville and San Ramon. I
usually try to fulfill a client’s wishes the best of my abilities, sometimes I also do gardening or
light housekeeping if required.
