Dr Andreas treated our dog Jenna at the beginning and end of her life and did everything he could to keep her healthy. When we had to euthanize Jenna dog, who was fourteen years old, it was a bad day for us, but I was grateful to have both Drs Nicole and Andreas tending to her at the end. Euthanasia was our only remaining option, but the two Doctors showed great empathy. Dr. Nicole is just as outstanding and they both are doing a fine job taking care of our dog Abigail. I have had my dogs treated in the U.S., the United Kingdom, and here. Drs Andreas and Nicole are as good as they come.

They diagnosed our 9 year old husky with cancer. Operated on him and he went through 6 rounds of…read morechemo. Why would treating your baby have a price tag? They know this and have excessive prices. My baby was doing well for a little while and I had nothing but praise for this clinic. Then I noticed how the charges in my bills were never the same. I brought my baby in every 2 weeks for 3 months and the charges for the consistent things changed, consistently. I'm still waiting for them to review my bills, because I know I was overcharged. When my baby stopped eating, I was expecting them to pump fluids in him, since they offered to keep him overnight. No instead they lied to me and said he ate. Even though they knew he was having complications from the cancer, they still insisted I bring him in to be examined, because he still was NOT eating. They knew they wouldn't find anything and charged me over 700 euros. Had an intense conversation with 2 doctors (the one didn't speak English very well) and they dropped 100 euro and said they would reprint the bill. Which is funny, because when I asked for the bill a bill to be reprinted before, they said it was not possible. After, at least, 5 days of not eating or drinking, I took my baby out to Ludswigburg and the doctor told me directly that he could run tests, but the findings would be the same, his suffering would get worse and to just end his pain. My baby is pain free now and Dachswaldklinik has lost all my respect. Dachswald doctors should have told me what Ludswigburg did! Not continue flushing money out of me. When your baby is needing assistance, the furthest thing from your mind is the cost. IF you go here make sure they inform you upfront what the charges will be. If your baby has to stay overnight, make sure they call you when your charges reach a certain amount. It's been 8 days. I guess I can go pay the final bill. GRR!

On my recent visit to Stuttgart,I spent two delightful days enjoying the Staatsgallerie's very wide…read morerange of Art.Since this art museum is very prodigious,I have restricted this review to its fine collection of Italian Paintings from the 14th Century until the 20th Century. Studying the Master of the Chapelle Medici Triptych's"Painted Cross with Christ,the Virgin,Saint John the Evangelist,and the Pelican"produced in the 14th Century was an auspicious start to my study of Italian Art.Other 14th Century paintings that I especially appreciated were Master of the Augustus Vision's"Emperor Augustus and the Tiburtine Prophesy Sibyl",Spinello Aretino's"Enthroned Madonna",Bernardo Daddi's"Fragment from Crucifixion Group",and Niccolo Da Segna's"Saints Catherine,Margaret,and Mary Magdalene" From the 15th Century,I especially relished Lorenzo Monaco's"Madonna and Christ Child",Fra Angelico's"Miraculous Feeding of the Dominicans",Marrioto di Nardo's"Arcita and Palomine Catch Sight of Emilia",and Giovanni Dei Paolo's"Saint Christopher" 16th Century Italian favorites included Vittore Carpaccio's"Martyrdom of Saint Stephan",Giovanni Di Giglio's"Crucifixion"(splendid Mannerism),and Jacopo Tintoretto's"Portrait of A Man" I saw fine exemplars of 17th Century Italian Mannerism by Francesco Furini("Penitent Mary Magdalene",Giovanni Bilivert's"Apollo and Daphne",and Pietro Della Vecchia's"Tribute Money". As for the 18th Century Italian Paintings,I especially liked Guisseppe Gambarini's"Egg Collecting Monks",Giovanni Batista Tiepolo's"Rest on the Flight Into Egypt",Gaspard Traversi's"Operation",and Giovanni Pannini's"Roma Antica",a splendid very punctilious painting. Finally my study of Italian Art at the Staatsgallerie culminated with three delightful paintings by Amadeo Modigliani("Reclining Nude")For those of us with a limited knowledge of German,there is labelling of the works of Art in English as well as German..Indeed,the Staatsgallerie is a very special art museum.

First of all, we had the 9-Euro bust ticket which got us both in for 10 Euro total. Leave your backpack and water bottle in a locker and go on your way. We were greeted by a very pleasant docent who helped us navigate the Old vs. New art in the museum. Every room has signs in German and English which I greatly appreciated. We quickly walked through the old stuff on a floor just to work ourselves over the Modern art collection. One aspect of the older work that I appreciated was seeing the artwork of local Stuttgart residents-- these are artists that never made it to my art history classes. I will go back the next time I am in Stuttgart to see the OLD stuff, hoping there is a Durer in there somewhere. The art here was by artists I was familiar with but all of the works were new to me. I was in art heaven. Modigliani, Mondrian, Franz Marc, George Grosz, Kurt Schwitters, Otto Dix, Joseph Beuys. There were just so many lovely surprises here. Don't forget to visit the small but mighty gift shop on the way out. They have a delightful selection of art-themed gifts here sure to please. Thank you, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, I will be back.
