Dr. Jean Hofve

Dr. Jean Hofve

I earned my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Colorado State University in Fort Collins in 1994. I'm an accredited veterinarian, licensed in Colorado. I practiced holistic and conventional medicine in two feline-only clinics in Denver. I am a former Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association and current president of the Rocky Mountain Holistic Veterinary Medical Association. At this time, I'm retired from veterinary practice.

If you need a holistic health or veterinary consultation, please visit www.holisticvetlist.com to find a practitioner in your area.

In addition to my conventional veterinary training, I have studied veterinary homeopathy, Reiki (Master), and holistic medicine. I have a strong interest in flower, animal, gem, and etheric essences, and founded Spirit Essence in 1995 (still the only line of essence formulas designed by a veterinarian). I am a Medicine Woman of the Mountain Wind Lodge Nemenhah Band and Native American Traditional Organization (Oklevueha Native American Church of Sanpete).

Nutrition is of special concern to me. I have researched pet food and cats' unique nutritional needs since graduating from veterinary school. I've written extensively for publications such as Animal Wellness Magazine, DogWorld, Cats, The Whole Cat Journal,The Whole Dog Journal, and the Journal of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association. I've been interviewed on radio and television from California to Colorado to England on pet nutrition, supplements, and the commercial pet food industry. I was an official liaison to the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) for two years, and continue to keep in touch with the latest developments in pet food. I've also taught many classes and seminars on flower essences, energy therapies such as E.F.T. -- a powerful tool based on acupuncture meridians - and other alternative treatments to pet guardians, shelter personnel, veterinarians, and veterinary students at Colorado State University and the University of California at Davis.
Cats are the most wonderful, fascinating, marvelous beings on earth, and it is my pleasure and privilege to devote myself to making their lives better through education. I love to learn and I love to teach, and if I can use those talents to give back to the cats who have so enriched my life, then I am content.

I currently live in Denver, Colorado, with four fabulous felines: Flynn, Puzzle, Sundance, and Spencer. Flynn and Puzzle, who are 10 years old, are a brother and sister act rescued on their way to a Denver shelter. Sundance and Spencer are 5-year-old brothers from a feral litter in Sacramento, California, who I raised from age 3 weeks.
