Animal Health VIPS (Veterinary Integrative & Performance Specialists) is the only specialty veterinary clinic in Utah to provide full service integrative and sports medicine for all species by Utah's only Board-certified Sports Medicine specialist. We also are certified or have additional training to provide: acupuncture, chiropractic, Chinese Herbal medicine, thermal imaging, advanced diagnostic ultrasonography in dog, cat and horse, classical homeopathy, clinical nutrition, vaccine titers and Western Herbal medicine.
Dr. Kim Henneman is the only veterinarian in Utah, the US and Europe to be Board-certified in both Equine and Canine Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation. She has worked on performance horses ranging from backyard babysitters to Olympic and World Championship level athletes and also has competed up to Training (schooling Prelim) in 3-Day Eventing. As one of the first veterinarians in the West to become certified in both acupuncture and chiropractic, Dr. Henneman now has nearly 30 years of expertise in these now popular integrative therapies. Thanks to 40 some-odd years of experience riding her own horses in endurance and eventing, Dr. Kim understands what it's like to throw a leg over an equine athlete, as well as the importance of the keeping that athlete comfortably going and healthy, no matter that animal's age and whether it is competing or retired.
Dr. Kim has worked on horses for the US Equestrian Team, at the World Equestrian Games (Spain), the World Championships in Endurance (Dubai), Rolex & the Budweiser World Cup, and even the top calf (tie-down) roping mare in the US for several years. Dr. Kim has also lectured all over the world (China, Ireland, S. Africa, England, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain) and the US, teaching other veterinarians and horse owners about sports medicine, injury rehabilitation, using thermal imaging and ultrasound for the detection of soft tissue injuries and integrating holistic therapies into overall equine (and working dog) health care. Dr. Kim is licensed in AZ, ID, MA, ME, NV, UT, VT, WY.
For fun, Dr. Kim works as an Iditarod Trail veterinarian (so far she's been on the trail 8 times) - one of the most prestigious sled dog races in the world, and likes to donate her time to zoos consulting on thermography, acupuncture and integrative therapies for animals such as rhinos, elephants and giraffes. She's also currently (2020) needing another veterinarian after the retirement of her previous associate. If anyone knows a great vet looking to live in Park City, Utah, who likes interesting clinical challenges on a variety of species, who thinks about problem solving like a detective rather than just doing the quick fix with drugs, and who is certified in either chiropractic, acupuncture or both, please send them our way!...
