To me, the more schooling & training a health care provider of any kind has, the better. I think that if a person learns a variety of ways of approaching illness, they they have a fuller understanding of it's causes & therefore a better chance at knowing the right kinds of treatment to give for the individual patient. This said, I'd be more likely to put my trust in a animal health care provider that has a degree (DVM) AND knows one or more alternative medicinal practices. The more the better. Of course years of experience do come into play, but don't hold as much weight as years of schooling AND experience for me. Hope this was helpfull.
