Dr. Polkowski at Comfortable Pets is The Best…read more She visited my senior puppy dog Boom Boom at my house & was so sweet to him. She spent over two hours with us. She examined him & performed various treatments (acupuncture, massage, Assisi loop, etc), but mostly she spent time educating me on how I could care for him better & understand what might be causing him discomfort. I've worked at an animal hospital for over 20 years & am super fortunate to have access to great veterinary care. My dog has a primary veterinarian & I work at an emergency vet facility but Dr. Polkowski was able to offer treatments & knowledge that I wasn't even aware of. She showed me things that I could do at home regularly to help Boom Boom feel better. I adopted Boom Boom from the animal shelter. He came with arthritis & soreness. Fortunately between Dr. Polkowski and Boom Boom's general doctor (at VCA McClave in Reseda), I feel I am better equipped to improve his quality of life.

Best, most caring vet ever. I started fostering and then adopting a husky/pointer mix who my…read moreboyfriend and I named Snoop. She's about a year old and was a mess at first. The foster group (HIT Living Foundation - wonderful people) took her from a high-kill shelter after she was found wandering the streets covered in fleas and ticks and with a lame left leg/paw. She had a brachial plexus avulsion (tearing of the nerves) and wasn't moving the paw, leg or shoulder at all. Any vet will tell you that this is a very hard injury to treat and almost always results in amputation of that leg. Also, in general, Snoop was just not in good physical shape. I found Lori through a recommendation and asked her to come evaluate Snoop after I had been fostering her for about two weeks. I was nervous at first as Snoop is very people scared and only lets my boyfriend and I touch her. Lori, with her wonderful assistant/shaman, Hector (I am not a particularly mystical person but Hector has some super calming influence over animals - even my cat came right up to him and into his lap so I will call him shaman!) came to my home (all covid protocols in) and coaxed Snoop out of her shell and started treating her. Snoop has been getting acupuncture, laser, chiropractic adjustments and B12 shots all from Lori. Snoop looks forward to the visits and is always excited when they come. Also, Lori has trained me quite a bit and I do simple physical therapy exercises with Snoop throughout the week and give Snoop supplements. Honestly all easy stuff that takes about 20 minutes a day. Lori checks in in us regularly and we've now been working with her for about 6 weeks. And the results...Snoop is a different dog. She just started using her shoulder again and regaining some of the feeling in her leg although she still can't walk on it. But she is now full of energy and running around and navigating on three legs quite nicely. She's healthy and filled out and a puppy again. She also can pick up her leg more so she's not dragging the paw around all the time and I don't have to wrap in the house or backyard (only for walks or when we leave). Even if she doesn't regain full use of that leg/paw again, it's been totally worth it. Snoop won't need it amputated and the use of her shoulder is so great. She's also just so healthy and happy now. However, our fingers and crossed and we are still working on getting that paw working. Thanks Lori!

Our dog has been battling IBD since we adopted him in 2020. After his last flare up, we became…read morefrustrated with the regular commercial vet just constantly recommending harsh steroids - these are making him lose his hair and are not great for his skin and liver. We came here to look for more natural alternatives and met with Dr. Chau. In the short session we had today, we learned about options and recommendations we haven't heard before (herbs, additional tests, and many other potential solutions we can look into). We left feeling more optimistic about potential natural solutions for our fur baby. Our pup is aggressive and bit one of the techs during the saliva sampling - we were absolutely mortified and felt so terrible but the whole staff was so understanding. Everyone there is so sweet and we look forward to the partnership to find a long term solution for our dog. We left with Chinese herbs to help with his severe skin allergies so I'm excited to see if these help him out in the next few weeks! We will also have a follow up consultation once his food allergy test results come back (it's about a 2-3 week lead time).

I established care with Holistika Veterinary Clinic in 2024 with one of my cats (I have two)…read more During my first visit I spent over $1,000 on consultation and services. Because of the cost, I needed some time before bringing my second cat in. During that time my second cat had a medical emergency -- a urinary blockage. I rushed him to the emergency vet, where the bill escalated quickly since everything was out of pocket. The emergency vet suggested that to save money, they could give me my cat's urine sample so my regular vet could run the lab tests instead of running them at the emergency hospital. I immediately called Holistika Vet because they were the only veterinarian I had an established relationship with. I was extremely distressed and crying because the emergency vet had told me there was a 50% chance my cat might not survive and that follow-up with my regular vet would be important. The receptionist told me it was their policy that they could not see my second cat because he had never been examined there before. I explained that I understood the policy but asked if they could at least run the urine tests (which I would pay for) to help us understand what caused the blockage. Unfortunately, I was told they could not do that either and that the tests would have to be done at the emergency hospital. The conversation felt very cold and unsympathetic during a moment that was extremely frightening for me as a pet owner. Fast forward to February 2026 -- I scheduled an appointment for both of my cats. A few days before the appointment I received an email canceling it, stating they would no longer see my pets because I had given attitude to the receptionist during the emergency call months earlier. I went in person to speak with management to explain the situation and my perspective. I was told they had no record of the conversation but were still refusing future care. For me, the most disappointing part of this experience was the lack of compassion during a very serious emergency and the refusal to even run a test that could have helped guide my cat's care. Thankfully, I have since found another holistic veterinarian in Glendale, California who has been incredibly supportive.

Dr. Linda Jackson went above and beyond to save my cat last week…read more I had brought Roo into the hospital on a Saturday night and my cat is semi feral, so although she's sweet and gentle with me, not so much with anyone else. Roo was extremely dehydrated from throwing up and diarrhea, which had gone on for a few days. She was so weak that it wasn't difficult to get her into the carrier, but I knew examining her, much less giving much needed fluids and an anti vomiting shot would be a challenge, to say the least. No disrespect to the crew on Saturday night, but the doctor on call was young and admitted he had not had experience handling a semi feral cat. We tried explaining the way we had seen her examined in the past (through the top of the carrier with a towel over her head), but he ended up having to anesthetize her because she tried to run away when they were examining her. They administered fluids, clipped her nails, and did bloodwork - which showed she most likely had Pancreatitis. We took her home and hoped for the best. She did not however, improve and it took her over 24 hours to come out of sedation. She was crawling around on her belly crying and I thought for sure she was dying, having not eaten in almost 4 days at that point. I rushed her back to the hospital and hit the jackpot - Dr. Jackson was there. She is the medical director of the hospital, and had been highly recommended to us in the waiting room the first time we were there by other patrons. I was so happy that she would be the doctor examining Roo. Dr. Jackson came into the room I had been waiting in, sat down next to me and her warmth and empathy were extremely appreciated - and needed at that point. She discussed a plan with me: to try and give more fluids and an anti nausea shot. She explained that the shot Roo had previously been given was an anti vomiting shot, but that an anti nausea shot would help Roo get her appetite back and get her on the path of recovery faster. Dr. J said she was going to attempt to get the fluids into Roo without sedation?! She said she thought we could do it with the help of a technician, and with me being in the room to stand in front of Roo, petting her and talking to her to reassure her. With the help of Isaiah, Dr. J got a shot in AND fluids under Roo's skin -- without sedation! It was incredible to witness and be a part of. I've never been allowed in the room with any of my rescues when they are receiving medical attention, this was a first - and it was incredibly moving. Dr. J was so gentle - and she insisted the fluids were warm before giving them - that was also something I had never seen. She explained that receiving cold fluids, especially to an animal already in pain/frightened was jarring, while warm fluids were soothing. Dr. Jackson was so kind and wise and gentle - this is/was the best experience I have ever had with a vet - and I have rescued many dogs and cats over the last 20 years. Dr. Jackson has made this crazy, and mostly cruel world a bit warmer, a bit softer and definitely brighter.

I've had two sessions so far focused on past lives / in this dimension and others & disconnecting or connecting to certain energies or dharmic things depending on them being something that had been holding you back or something that would be valuable for your current growth and healing. (She would explain exactly how she works better then me!) I plan to see her some more for energy reiki work too. And eventually have her work with my kitty babes. I highly recommend Faith. Even without the actual work that she does she just is one of those good vibes people that it feels so great to be in the presence of + she is an amazing hype man - you feel really empowered and confident after just talking with this special human for just a few minutes. She meets you where you are at and does not feel overly judgy or 'pressury' (yes that's a word now) like some 'healers' or coaches can be.
