New MS Premium Animal Network Provider: Rute Porém – Integrative and Functional Veterinary Medicine

Rute Porém – Integrative and Functional Veterinary Medicine

At Misericórdias Saúde, we are committed to providing our beneficiaries with solutions that promote well-being at every stage of life, including the lives of their pets.

With this commitment in mind, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Rute Porém, a veterinarian specialising in Integrative and Functional Veterinary Medicine, an approach that complements conventional veterinary medicine by taking a holistic view of animal health.

What is Integrative and Functional Veterinary Medicine?

Integrative and Functional Veterinary Medicine aims to identify and address the possible underlying causes of each clinical condition, considering the animal as a whole rather than focusing solely on its symptoms.

This approach may combine conventional veterinary medicine with various complementary strategies, always tailored to each animal's individual needs and based on a clinical assessment carried out by a veterinarian.

The aim is to promote balance within the body, support recovery, improve quality of life and help prevent health problems.

A Personalised Approach

Every animal has its own characteristics, needs and medical history. For this reason, Integrative and Functional Veterinary Medicine prioritises individualised care, developing personalised treatment plans designed to promote physical and emotional well-being.

According to Dr. Rute Porém:

"I help animals restore their energetic, emotional and physical balance through the use of essential oils."

The use of essential oils in veterinary care should always be carried out by professionals with specific training, as their application requires technical knowledge and must take into account the particular characteristics of each species and individual animal.

A New Provider in the MS Premium Animal Network

Through this partnership, Misericórdias Saúde beneficiaries now have access to the services of Dr. Rute Porém, benefiting from a distinctive and complementary approach to their pets' healthcare.

Because we believe that caring for health also means providing access to a wide range of quality solutions, we continue to expand our network of partners to offer even more benefits to our beneficiaries.
