Our mission is to rethink conventional veterinary medicine in a way that bridges gaps in care and honors our relationship with the planet and one another.

Our Story

According to the indigenous Kogi tribe of Colombia, “aluna” is the mind, the intelligence, and the spirit inside nature. The Kogi consider Earth to be a living and breathing entity like all of its inhabitants, and it is the duty of humans to care for Earth so that aluna can thrive. 

Inspired by this ancient belief our company was born. We are a team of veterinary professionals and animal advocates who hold our role as guardian to the highest standard and it is through our own personal experiences that we recognize the need for a major paradigm shift in order to succeed.

Our Values

We strive to foster community, prioritize the principles of sustainability, and demonstrate honesty, transparency, and ethical behavior in all of our actions and decisions.

Community

At a time when nearly half of all veterinary hospitals are run by large, remote private equity firms, we are focused on getting back to a local mindset - both in the way we run our practice and in the communities we serve. 

Sustainability

We understand that the health of animals and people is directly linked to the health of the planet we call home, and therefore we make sustainability a priority by minimizing waste, utilizing eco-friendly products, offering greener aftercare options, and educating our clients.

Integrity

Our work remains aligned with the veterinarian’s oath: “to use scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health and welfare, the prevention and relief of animal suffering, and the promotion of public health.”
