Dr. Holonko recently relocated to Olympia, Washington from Upstate New York
My husband and I found out our dog Oscar of 10 years had cancer, Transitional Cell Carcinoma. From what we found out from our visit to WSU is that it is terminal with no cure, Oscar would have 18 months with chemo. I talked to another couple that their dog was going through the chemo treatments and was very sick and not doing well. They were given 6 months and he died at 5 months. So without chemo WSU gave Oscar maybe a year. I had no choice but to check out the holistic side of veterinary care. I got on the internet and typeed Holistic Vet and Tanya Holonko’s name came up, I gave her a call and with an hour she called me back. The most important thing after talking to her was she also had a dog that had cancer when she was in veterinary school. After she graduated she was a Veterinarian for several years before deciding to be a Holistic Vet so she knew both side of animal care. She got Oscar going on an all organic diet, made an appointment to come and see him in our home and it seems like it has been all uphill from there. He has his days were he bleeds blood but other than that he is happy, eating and playing with his best friend Emily. Emily is our 12-year-old and was getting a little old acting after her back surgery last year. I have changed her diet also to all organic and I have seen an amazing difference in her activity level and her hair is like silk and bright red again. Tanya has helped me though the rough times when I get upset and don’t know which way to turn and she has always been there to answer my questions. I don’t know if Oscar will pull through this but I do know one thing I owe everything to Tanya for making Oscar's quality of life good with all the good food and herbs he is on and not sick from chemo. Thank you Tanya.

Cassidy, our five year old Cockapoo had lost 30% of her body weight due to vomiting and diarrhea. She was administered a toxic dose of a flea and tick preventative to the back of the neck. The dose was for an animal two to three times larger than Cassidy. We tried several conventional veterinarians before trying the homeopathic route with Dr. Holonko. The doctor immediately treated Cassidy with homeopathic supplements which were indicated as a result of previous blood work. In less than one year, Cassidy gained back all of her lost weight and then some. She is a happy healthy dog today due to Dr. Holonko and homeopathy.

After years of searching for a veterinarian who shared my values I had the good fortune of finding Dr. Tanya Holonko. Dr. Holonko wants the absolute best for the animals in her care and considers the environmental impact of treatments (i.e.: pesticides, dewormers etc.) both of which are extremely important to me. She also has a lovely rapport with her human clients and knows how to put people at ease with both her compassion and sense of humor. Dr. Holonko not only has a vast amount of knowledge from being a conventional veterinarian for over a decade but she has gone on to practice homeopathy, energy work, chiropractics and accupressure. She stresses the importance of good nutrition, supplements and other preventative practices. Her broad knowledge base allows her to be able to give her clients numerous treatment options. I feel extremely lucky that I have a veterinarian who is able to come to my home to care for my animals (dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and guinea pigs) in a place where they feel safe and comfortable.
Dr. Holonko's extensive knowledge of homeopathy enabled us to share an extra seven months with our beloved Jack Russell Terrier who was diagnosed with terminal cancer. We were able to keep him comfortable at home until he slipped away peacefully. It was a beautiful, life-changing experience to be able to do that for him and I will be forever grateful to Dr. Holonko for her unending support during that time. The homeopathics have also brought about fast and amazing results in the case of eye injuries, allergies, wounds, and skin eruptions in our horses and dogs. The remedies encourage the body to heal itself and the effectiveness of the treatments continues to impress me. I highly recommend Dr. Holonko to anyone looking for a new veterinarian. Your animals will thank you!

My elderly male cat was arthritic and incontinent. He's doing splendidly since Dr. Holonko treated him. He's got a "new lease on life'.
Besides having a deep and caring connection with animals, Dr. Holonko is very helpful with their owners -- generous with her time and always helpful with phone calls.

We are so very grateful to have Dr. Holonko attend to our fur family’s veterinary needs. Her extensive knowledge in both conventional and holistic care is invaluable!! Although she has chosen to follow the holistic approach to veterinary care, she always explains, in great detail, all the various options (including conventional) that are available for each circumstance so that her clients can make an educated decision on the course of treatment. We prefer the holistic approach and Dr. Holonko is extremely precise in her instructions for each treatment/course of care given. She is wonderful about following-up through the entire treatment process. Her gentle and reassuring demeanor during her thorough exams has proven to be extremely calming, thus enabling full cooperation from all of our fur-kids, and they always greet her with excitement and lots of tail-wagging. If the need arises for specialized surgery/medical care, she is more than willing to consult with the attending surgeon/vet to provide the best care possible before, during, and after surgery, and her compassion and understanding during and after the loss of a pet is something we will always be grateful for. All these wonderful qualities . . . and Dr. Holonko does house calls!!!! In short, Dr. Holonko is a pet owner’s dream come true!
