I wanted a second opinion regarding alternatives to pharmacology, in managing my aging dog's health (just as I do for my family or myself). How lucky to find a holistic vet within a 5 minute drive from home!
Only the first available appointment was about a month out. It was worth the wait.
We were greeted by name as we entered for the first time, and were escorted to the "exam room". It was really more a replication of a small family room, complete with a fireplace, hearth with a basket of dog toys, fluffy dog pillow and cozy love seat. Book shelves filled with books, and other decorative touches made this a welcoming rather than clinical atmosphere.
It was like sitting with a neighbor; her gentle pet touch is an examination. Gentle is the word that characterizes everything about this wellness center.
Dr Sivula listened thoughtfully and, given his recommendations, well understood my concerns. Most impressive was the request for follow up ... the interest in knowing how my pet responds to a course of action.
We're trying a nutritional approach with supplements. Within days my dog has been more energetic. I'm encouraged. It's a process ... updates to follow.
