MVZ. CVA José Luis Gutiérrez Martínez

Veterinarian · Acupuncture

  • Acupuntura Veterinaria (CVA) — IVAS
  • Herbología China Veterinaria — IVAS/CIVT
  • Herbolaria China Avanzada — IVAS

Proudly native to Monterrey, Nuevo León, Dr. Luis Gutiérrez graduated as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1998. After successfully practicing private equine medicine (show jumping horses) until 2005, he pivoted to small animal care, opening his own clinic in 2006.

A pioneer in integrative medicine in Mexico, Dr. Gutiérrez earned his certification in Veterinary Acupuncture (CVA) through IVAS in 2014, the same year he founded “The Natural Vets de México” — the country's first clinic dedicated exclusively to natural veterinary therapies. Subsequently, in 2017, he consolidated his specialization with a certification in Veterinary Chinese Herbal Medicine (IVAS/CIVT), followed by an Advanced Chinese Herbal Medicine certification in 2021.

Today, he treats dogs, cats, and horses across Mexico, has been published in specialized international journals, and lectures nationally and internationally. He stands out for his innovative approach, integrating Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, geriatric animal rehabilitation, and myofascial system treatments into a comprehensive, holistic model of care.

Dr. Ramírez graduated with honors as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1998 from the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León. Following graduation, she established and managed her own small animal practice in her hometown, where she practiced conventional veterinary medicine for over 12 years.

In 2015, she began her studies at the Pitcairn Institute of Veterinary Homeopathy, an experience that transformed her perspective on veterinary medicine and integrative animal care. She is a Certified Veterinary Homeopath (CVH) since 2018 and has lectured nationally and internationally on veterinary homeopathy.

In recognition of her professional contributions and dedication to veterinary medicine, Dr. Ramírez received the Professional Excellence Award from the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León in 2019. Expanding her commitment to holistic healthcare, she pursued formal studies in human homeopathy beginning in 2020 at the Northwestern Academy of Homeopathy and later at the Prometheus Homeopathic Institute, from which she graduated in 2024.

She has completed studies in ozonetherapy, natural nutrition, and natural supplementation for animals.

Dr. Ramírez currently serves as Secretary of the Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy and as the Mexican Representative of the International Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy. Through her clinical practice, teaching, and international collaborations, she is dedicated to advancing integrative and homeopathic medicine for both animals and people, promoting compassionate, individualized, and patient-centered care with special focus on chronic disease management.

Frequent questions

What people ask us most

Can't find your question? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply quickly.

  • Does holistic or natural medicine replace conventional veterinary care?

    It does not necessarily replace it — it complements it. We work with an integrative approach, which means we can run conventional lab tests and combine traditional medication with alternative therapies whenever the clinical case — an emergency or a surgery, for example — calls for it.

  • What problems or conditions do acupuncture and herbal medicine help with?

    They are not only for chronic pain. Acupuncture is very common for spinal problems (disc herniation), paralysis, joint pain and dysplasia. It is also used to strengthen the immune system, treat severe skin conditions such as chronic allergies, and support degenerative or geriatric disease. It is generally a painless application, and treatment length varies from case to case — we assess it at the first appointment.

  • Does veterinary homeopathy really work, and is it safe?

    Because it aims to restore balance at the root rather than simply suppress symptoms, it is a very safe treatment, free of toxicity. It is especially gentle for puppies and kittens, very elderly animals, and patients with liver or kidney damage, who tend to be hyper-reactive to medication.

  • What kind of food or diet do you recommend?

    Our philosophy is to return to the origin and promote a life free of additives. We usually guide families toward natural, balanced, less processed diets — cooked, or biologically appropriate raw — adapted to each animal's lifestyle and condition.

  • Do you accept patients with terminal illness or cancer?

    Yes. Many families come to holistic medicine after conventional veterinary care has told them there is nothing more to be done. Our focus in these cases is geriatric medicine and palliative care: improving quality of life, reducing pain and providing comfort in the final stages, when aggressive treatments are no longer an option or are too harmful to the animal. If you are considering an assessment consultation, coming with clear questions about your pet's current diet and previous treatments will help you get the most out of the session.

  • Do you handle emergencies?

    We do not offer this service at the moment.

  • Do you treat rabbits, birds, reptiles and other species?

    Yes. Our care includes exotic and non-conventional animals.
