Balanced Veterinary Care will be closing on Friday May 16th 2025 as Dr. D'Alfonzo is relocating out of state. Current clients, please contact her via e-mail for any refills you may need, or visits prior to May 16th. Thank you for everything!
Dr. Devlyn D'Alfonzo was born and raised in Richmond, and attended Virginia Tech to complete her bachelor's in Animal and Poultry Sciences in 2004. She then went on to complete her DVM in 2009 at Ross University, graduating with high honors. She then completed a rotating internship with Virginia Emergency and Specialty centers in 2010. In 2011, she became a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist. She moved with her family to Madison county in 2014 and over the following years found her true passion in Veterinary Medicine, beginning to focus on the care of senior pets and pets with mobility issues. In her spare time, she enjoys time at home with her family, horseback riding, reading and gardening.
Acupuncture, with or without herbal therapy, can be used to treat a variety of conditions, ranging from osteoarthritis to chronic kidney failure and many others. We can help to provide complete and balanced care to complement your primary care veterinarian.
We use a holistic approach to your pet's veterinary care, tailored to your pet's individual needs. Our knowledge of acupuncture, herbals, and food therapy combined with traditional Chinese veterinary medicine can fill in spaces in your pet's care. This, combined with care from your primary care veterinarian can give your pet a more complete range of care for excellent health.
We can help make the silver years of life as comfortable and happy as possible for your pet. We will work alongside your primary care veterinarian to improve quality of life for your pet by providing a multi-modal approach to their care.
When the time comes to say goodbye to your beloved companion, we can help make this difficult time as peaceful as possible. We can provide your companion a passing in the comfort of your home, in familiar surroundings, with the people they love around them.
The health and safety of our patients and their families are our priority. Therefore we have a few guidelines for appointments to ensure the safest visit possible.
As always, we use clean equipment that is sanitized between patients. Dr. D'Alfonzo is fully vaccinated to ensure increased safety for both herself and those around her as well. We will follow masking guidelines.
Current clients, please e-mail for any refills needed. We are no longer taking on new clients.
