Dr. Chalmers did her usual arcane muscle testing before providing multiple detoxifying and supportive supplements plus two homeopathic remedies, which have considerably reduced the frequency and intensity of seizures and reanimated her energy. Dr. Chalmers appears more comfortable communicating with the pet than with its person; she makes a visible strong connection with the pet that for our dog and us has been very beneficial. Alexa, the office manager, is a gem who can explain procedures and the recommended supplements. This practice is a good alternative when more conventional vet care seems less than ideal for a particular condition, and is especially good for palliative care for aging companions.

I would like to give my glowing recommendation and praise to who I would call my friend and pet…read moresitter Melissa Bush. Melissa has been my pet sitter for almost 5 years. I completely trust her with the care of my fur baby, 100+ pound lab/Rottweiler mix, Patton. Melissa is not only honest, reliable, flexible, and available at short notice or emergency situations, she also showed enormous love and compassion for Patton. My dog LOVES Melissa, looking forward to her visits he gets excited at the mention of her name. Her rates are very reasonable for the services she renders. In fact as a busy person who feels quite guilty leaving my dog in the care of another, I love getting off work to find a text from Melissa updating me on how Patton's day was with her. I have complete trust in her being in my home and having access to my house key. Melissa always does exactly what is asked of her and shows interest and knowledge in my dog, alerting me to potential medical or behavioral problems. Patton has had a few medical issues throughout his short life, and she is great at giving him his meds and keeping an eye on his progress. My dog needs the comfort of his own home and really doesn't like the kennel/day camp situation. Melissa relieves this stress on me and and for him by providing exceptional service at an affordable rate. Her never ending love and concern for my dog will never be forgotten. I would like to invite anyone with any questions or concerns to please send me an email.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Alternatives for Animals and Dr. Rettig. If you're…read morelooking for compassionate, thoughtful, and effective care for your animals, I wholeheartedly recommend them. When my older dog started struggling with arthritic joints, we decided to try acupuncture, and it truly turned things around. Before long, he was back to hopping onto his favorite spots -- the couch and the bed -- without any trouble. Seeing that kind of improvement meant everything to me. One thing I appreciate most is that I never once felt upsold. Dr. Rettig only recommended therapies she genuinely believed he needed, and that honesty and integrity are so refreshing. You can tell she truly cares about her patients and their quality of life. The entire staff has always been professional and kind, and everyone there is wonderful with humans too -- which matters so much. When my dog was diagnosed with untreatable cancer, Dr. Rettig helped give him the best months he possibly could have had. That gift of time, comfort, and dignity is something I'll always be grateful for. I also love that they carry really high-quality foods, treats and other products, which makes it easy to support your pet's health in every way.

I need more stars to give. Dr. Rettig is essential to our family, and I have told her that if she…read moreever moves away, she should just plan that we are coming along with her. From our very first visit, she completely understood and intuited the needs of our sweet dog Jojo, and has kept her healthy and vibrant well into her "senior years" (I use quotation marks because Jojo is about 13 years old but is frequently mistaken for a puppy, given how youthful and energetic she is). I can't even begin to express what a tremendous gift it has been to feel secure that we can handle any health issues that come up for Jojo, with the support of Dr. Rettig and her team. We animal guardians love our little ones so much, and there's nothing worse than watching them suffer and not knowing how to help. Whenever I can surrender enough to completely hand over the assessment and decision making to Dr. Rettig, we always get a good outcome. On more than one occasion, we have seen resolution of an acute issue within 24 hours of our treatment session. It's been truly remarkable. Dr. Rettig is an expert in holistic animal care, but on the few occasions that Jojo has needed specialty help from a traditional vet, Dr. Rettig communicated that to us immediately and supplied us with wonderful referrals. We trust her recommendations completely. Jojo loves Dr. Rettig, too! She is often eager and excited when we arrive at the clinic, which is not the case with ANY other vet we have taken her to see. We all know how lucky we are to have access to such a unique healing practice!

I think my puppy must have fallen in love with Dr. Bane immediately, because by the time the two of…read morethem came out to the sidewalk (Covid precaution) to continue our quite extensive initial appointment, she had his absolutely devoted attention, cooperation, & trust. Dr. Bane's exam (March 2021) was comprehensive and well-beyond helpful. She noted that he had an undescended testicle (totally missed by the staff at a local corporately owned vet hospital, and by me), and spent lots of time offering much needed guidance about his diet -- including offering me a basic recipe that greatly improved upon his home-cooked meals and analyzing what vitamins and minerals should be added to make them optimal. Since I also feed him Carna4 kibble, she went over those ingredients thoroughly as well. As is common with doodles, my pup has a somewhat sensitive gut and itchy skin. When Animal Biome sent a detailed report on his microbiome, Dr. Bane spent half an hour of her own time (no charge to me) consulting with their microbiologist, and then spent lots of time (at a very reasonable cost) going over their report with me and making recommendations. She's been wonderfully accessible and thoughtful whenever I've needed guidance -- most recently about a minimally invasive approach to his cryptorchid neutering and gastropexy, and in a short time I've come to trust her completely. I'm very thankful we found our way to All Paws and especially to Dr. Bane!

I cannot fully express how much Cara has done for me and my lil Capone. I was referred to her…read morethrough a mutual friend when I found out my little guy was diagnosed with a terminal disease. I couldn't have asked for better therapist and person to bring into my life during the most difficult of times. From our very first session, it's like it was meant to be. She was so incredibly understanding and compassionate. She basically held my hand through all the steps I had to go through, that Capone and I had to go through together. She stood by our side for a year. She guided me, emotionally and spiritually. She taught me how to think rationally when making tough decisions, she celebrated our small wins, she talked to me through the darkest of times, all the vet visit, radiation treatments, times filled with tears and guilt. She honored the bond Capone and I have. She helped me stay strong. she taught me to write down what I was feeling, she showed me techniques to get through moments when I would be alone. she constantly checked in and made sure I kept in touch. She held space and even cried with me. And after everything was all said and done, she was still right there, spiritually and emotionally by Capone and my side. She has so much experience with animals both in the veterinary field and as a fur mama herself. I could not have asked for anyone better to be by my side, to share Capone and my journey with. I am forever grateful, and truly honored to have met her. She has a very special gift and an even more beautiful heart. I couldn't recommend her enough. This is exactly what she was born to do. To Cara, Today, 4.16.24, marks the one year anniversary since Capone transitioned. I just wanted to reach out and tell you I am forever grateful for all of your love and support through that really hard time. Thank you for showing up for Capone and I, thank you for selflessness, thank you for your patience, thank you for your understanding. Thank you for your beautiful heart and thank you for being the incredible friend you are! Couldn't have done it without you! Sending all the love and hugs your way! LOVE YOU

I have seen so many vets in an attempt to figure out my dog's gut. I've been told I'm overreacting…read moreand that his various gut issues and skin issues (all related, I bet) could just be managed. I've also been referred for way more expensive procedures that I didn't think were necessary. Finally, we were referred to Dr. Richter. He listened to my dog's history, understood my thinking, told me it made sense, and told me he understood the pathway I wanted to take. For once, I wasn't automatically crazy or a "helicopter" pup parent. He really gets it. Dr. Richter had a very reasonable grasp on my dog's history and the reasons for his issues. I am so looking forward to continuing treatment with him in the coming months, focusing on the gut and on my dog's past mold exposure. I can't say enough about what it means to be truly heard and understood by a vet, and have them speak to you on a well-informed level. Dr. Richter is not only brilliant, he also has excellent people skills. Most vets try to talk down to me or put me in my place when I come with as much info as I do, and that gets me nowhere, just burning my bank account and morale. Thank you so much, Dr. Richter + clinic staff. You all make a huge difference in our lives and we could not be more grateful.

I could not recommend Beverly Davies and her work more…read more Having grown up in St.Helena, I started seeing Beverly for somatic therapy during college, which proved to be very healing in re-mobilizing me to my fullest ability! Most notably, I've since become an avid believe and client of hers in her energy work / Reiki and ability to assist in mental, physical, and emotional transformation. I don't say that lightly - she truly can create transformation in one session that traditional doctors would either be confused by or persribe pills for. It's because the root of all illnesses is energetic, same with depression and anxiety, it is simply us being off balance from our true nature, and instead of popping advils we can learn to re-align and have regular practitioners like Bevelry to help us return to our most VIBRANT, JOYFUL, HEALTHY, AND PEACEFUL Selves. My true dedication to her practice - and encouragement to those seeking help - comes from she is aw her two years ago, struggling with EBV (epstein barr virus), PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), and likely Cushing's Sydrome (that was the last diagnosis). After a session with Beverly where she was literally able to see and pinpoint what was creating this dis-ease (being out of ease with my body) I felt as if a choke collar had been taken off my neck and I could feel relief I didn't even know was possible. I felt open, pure, healthy, and free - and sure enough, in this just 3 day time, thanks to Beverly's assistance, I went from seriously ill to completely healed. So whether you are looking for more confidence and relief from day to day anxiety, more long-term depression or physical discomfort, or an illness that might stump traditional doctors, I can almost guarantee that Beverly's work will be a God send for you and she is a true delight to have as a healer as well. You will leave feeling heard, nurtured, healed, and awakened - ultimately to your own power, energy, and Truth. Two enthusiastic thumbs up. :)
