Dr Kumiko Ogawa - CBDA and companion animals - HOW CBDA manages digestive concerns in companion animals
Her childhood experience with Kampo (Japanese herbal medicine) for her asthma inspired her to study small animal acupuncture (Chi University) and Chinese veterinary herbal medicine (IVAS). She is now completing certificates for veterinary food therapy and veterinary aromatherapy.
After running a mobile acupuncture service, Kumiko opened her integrative vet practice in September 2023, The Ogawa Clinic in Brunswick. Since then, she has enjoyed forming personal connections with pets and their parents, both locally and from far away.
She is excited to participate in IVCA 2024, which is taking place at CERES, five minutes away from her home and clinic.
