| - This review is for Dr. Kelly Moffat, a veterinarian and animal behavior specialist who works at the Mesa VCA Animal Hospital. Dr. Moffat is one of only a handful of certified animal behaviorists in the country and is absolutely amazing.
Over the summer, I adopted a one year old chihuahua mix from HALO who had been badly abused. Needless to say, it was love at first sight with Rugby, the best, most loving dog out there.
But, due to his sad start in life, Rugby suffered from severe separation anxiety. If I left him for, literally, 5 minutes, he would bark and howl and scratch at door and floors until his paws bled. I tried everything - books, training, home remedies - and consulted with my usual vet at the Banfield off of Mayo. Afraid for his health, I was not sure what to do.
My regular vet recommended Dr. Moffat. I did her online survey and got an appointment right away. While the initial consult was pricey, Dr. Moffat was very thorough and gave us all sorts of techniques to try and went over good and bad products. We decided on a medication and training regimen.
I stuck to the regimen and consulted with Dr. Moffat via phone and email. Let me tell you...the woman is a miracle worker. After about a month, my dog is now normal and can be left alone as needed. I still follow up with Dr. Moffat as needed. She literally saved my puppy, whom I love dearly.
Really, Dr. Moffat is amazing. She is compassionate and realistic. I never felt like I was being judged and she really listened. She was supportive throughout the process. If I could give her a 10 star review I would. As is, I will be eternally grateful to her for helping my Rugby.
